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.
• Water resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means the watch
is water resistant for occasional accidental splashing.
