Affected by nearby magnetism,
a watch may temporarily gain or lose time or stop operating.
If the watch becomes magnetized and its accuracy deteriorates to an
extent exceeding the specified rate under normal use, the watch needs
to be demagnetized. In this case, you will be charged for demagnetization
and accuracy readjustment even if it happens within the guarantee period.
The reason why watch is affected by magnetism.
The built-in motor is provided with a magnet, which may be influenced by a strong external magnetic field.

Leather band
・ A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
・ Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting them up with a dry cloth.
・ Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.
・ Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt is likely to show up.
・ Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while bathing,
swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced
for daily use （10-BAR water resistant）.
●
Polyurethane band
・ A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be
deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
・ Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other
colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
・ Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth.
（Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.）
・ When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you
continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.

The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust.
Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation
or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
●
Metallic band
・ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a long time.
・ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
・ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible
・ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it off
with a soft toothbrush.
（Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.）
・ Because some titan bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding
strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
・ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall off the bracelet,
or the clasp may not open.
・ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the watch
and request repair.
Notes on the
length of the band
Notes on skin
irritation and allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy
to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or
the band itself.
