Band
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 result in a rash or 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.)
Clean it off with a soft cloth.
• Because some titan bands 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 band, 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.

when working with water even if the watch itself is water resistant enforced for daily use (10-BAR/20-BAR

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.

Notes on skin
irritation and
allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band may result from various factors such as allergy to
metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.
Notes on the
length of the band
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to ensure proper
airflow.
When wearing the watch, leave enough room to insert a finger between
