WATCH BAND
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust.
Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation
or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
● Metallic band
・ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a
long time.
・ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
・ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible
・ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it
off with a soft toothbrush.
（Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.）
・ Because some titan bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding
strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
・ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall off the
bracelet, or the clasp may not open.
・ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the
watch and request repair.

Notes on skin
irritation and allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as
allergy to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on
dust or the band itself.
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to
ensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enough
room to insert a fi nger between the band and your wrist.
● Leather band
● Polyurethane band
・ A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be
deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
・ Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other colors,
resulting in color smears or discoloration.
・ Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth.
