* 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
