WARNING

Do not use the watch in scuba diving or saturation diving.

The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment, which

are usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation diving,

have not been conducted on the water resistant watch with the BAR (barometric

pressure) display. For diving, use watches specifically designed for diving.

b

 

CAUTION

Do not pour running water directly from faucet.

The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to degrade the water

resistant performance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.

CAUTION

Do not turn or pull out the crown when the watch is wet.

Water may get inside of the watch.

 * If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water droplets appear

inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant performance of the watch is

deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or

SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.

Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the watch for a long time.

Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its water resistant

performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on the glass or gasket, or the

development of rust on stainless steel.

Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna.

Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate the deterioration

of water resistant performance of the watch.
