CAUTION When Wearing your Watch
<Band>
• Leather, genuine skin and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to
perspiration, body oils and dirt. Be sure to replace the band periodically.
• e durability of a leather band may be aected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing
to the properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• It is recommended to take o the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water resistant.
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to
allow adequate ventilation.
• e rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other
accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing
your watch with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In
addition, the band may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new
one when it has lost elasticity or become cracked.
