Condition of Use
WARNING Not suitable for swimming
Cautions
Avoid drops of water or sweat
The watch withstands accidental contact
with water in everyday life.
The watch is suitable for sports such as swimming.
The watch is suitable for diving not using an air cylinder.
○ In order to maintain the water resistant
performance at factory-adjusted level,
make sure to replace the gasket when
changing the battery.
○ For a water resistant watch with
10 BAR or above, be sure to have the
water resistant performance check
when changing the battery.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or
saturation diving.
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the
watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
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 special watches for diving.
※ 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 CUSTMER SERVICE CENTER (listed on the back cover).

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.
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 leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the
watch for a long time.
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.
