Thank you very much for choosing a SEIKO watch.

For proper and safe use of your SEIKO watch,

please read carefully the instructions in this

booklet before using it.

Keep this manual handy for easy reference.

 * Length adjustment service for metallic bands is available at the retailer from

whom the watch was purchased. If you cannot have your watch repaired by
the retailer from whom the watch was purchased because you received the
watch as a gift, or you moved to a distant place, please contact SEIKO
CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. The service may also be available on a
chargeable basis at other retailers, however, some retailers may not undertake
the service.

 * If your watch has a protective film for preventing scratches, make sure to peel

it off before using the watch. If the watch is used with the film on it, dirt, sweat,
dust, or moisture may be attached to the film and may cause rust.
