TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
•
Water resistance (5 bar)*
If “WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR” is inscribed on the case back, your
watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 5 bar and
is suitable for swimming, yachting and taking a shower.
•
Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar)*
If “WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR” or “WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR”
is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and
manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar and is suitable for
taking a bath and shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We
recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver’s watch for scuba diving.
* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, or 15 bar watch in water,
be sure the crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown and buttons when the watch is wet or in
water.
If used in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it
completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or
taking a bath with the water resistance 10 or 15 bar watch, be sure
to observe the following:
• Do not operate the crown or push the buttons when the watch is
wet with soapy water or shampoo.
• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may
be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the
watch returns to normal temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as
corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends
to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken
on diving into water.
■
WATER RESISTANCE
•
Non-water resistance
If “WATER RESISTANT” is not inscribed on the case back, your
watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken not to get it
wet as water may damage the movement. If the watch becomes
wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO
DEALER or SERVICE CENTER.
•
Water resistance (3 bar)
If “WATER RESISTANT” is inscribed on the case back, your watch
is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as
accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not
designed for swimming or diving.
■
TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with stable accuracy between a temperature range
of 5
°
C and 35
°
C (41
°
F and 95
°
F).
Temperatures over 60
°
C (140
°
F) may cause battery leakage or shorten
the battery life.
