<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong
magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from
indicating the correct time. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health
devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator
doors, clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.
<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/or
performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including gasoline, nail-
polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.) are allowed to come into
contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials. Be careful when handling these
chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the
band and case.
