WARNING
Water Resistance
• Refer to the watch dial and the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch.
The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly.
(The unit "1bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.)
• WATER RESIST(ANT) ××bar may also be indicated as W.R.××bar.
• Non-water resistant watches cannot be used underwater or in environments in contact with water.
• Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while washing
your face or in the rain, but is not to be immersed in water.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while
swimming, but is not to worn while skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn
while skin diving, but not while scuba or saturated diving using helium gas.
