(2) Shock
1 Be sure to take the watch off your wrist when you engage in
strenuous sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf,
etc., will not adversely infl uence the watch.
2 Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the
fl oor.
(3) Magnetism
1 If the watch is left at a place near strong magnetism for an extended period,
the component parts can get magnetized, resulting in a failure. Be careful.
2 The watch can temporarily gain or lose time when exposed to magnetism, but
it functions with original precision when it is put away from the magnetism. In
this case, correct the time.
(4) Vibration
The watch can lose time temporarily when it is exposed to
strong vibration while riding motorcycles or using jackham-
mers, chain saws, etc.
(5) Temperature
1 In the environment below and above the normal temperatures <5°C-35°C>,
the watch may malfunction and stop.
2
If the watch is left unworn, it may lose accuracy to some extent.
(6) Chemicals, Gasses, etc.
Utmost caution must be exercised for contacts with gasses, mercury, chemicals
(thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents containing such components,
adhesives, paints, drugs, perfume, cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such contacts
may cause the discoloration of a watchcase, a watchband, and a dial face. The
discoloration, deformation, and damage of various resin-based component parts
may also occur.
