*To prevent water coming in contact with the internal
mechanism of the watch, the crown under no
circumstances should be pulled out while the
watch is wet.
*If watches designed for sports or working in the
water are exposed to salt water or significant
amounts of sweat, they should be rinsed in fresh
water and dried thoroughly.
*Exposure to water may attack the durability of
some types of leather bands.
*Because the internal watch parts may hold some
moisture, if the external temperature is lower than
that inside the watch, the glass covering the watch
may fog up. If this fogging is only temporary it
poses no problem, however, if it persists over a
long period of time we suggest that you have the
watch checked at the shop where you purchased it
or at a Citizen Service Centre.
Temperature
Avoid exposing the watch to direct sunlight or
leaving it in extremely hot or cold locations for a
long period of time.
• This will cause malfunctioning and shorten the life
of the battery.
• This may cause your watch to gain or lose time
and affect its other functions.
Shock
• This watch will withstand the bumps and jars
normally incurred in daily use and while playing
such non-contact sports as golf.
• Dropping the watch on the floor or otherwise
imparting severe shock to it may cause
malfunctioning or damage.
Magnetic Fields
This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss and not
affected by the magnetic fields produced by ordinary
household electric appliances. If used in the
immediate vicinity of strong magnetism, however,
the watch’s functions may temporarily be affected.
Static Electricity
The integrated circuits used in the watch are
sensitive to static electricity. If exposed to static
electricity, the watch’s display may lose its accuracy.
Chemicals and Gases
Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong
chemicals or gases. If the watch comes in contact
with such solvents as thinner and benzine or
products containing materials such as gasoline,
polish, detergent or adhesive, its components may
discolour, dissolve or crack. Be especially careful to
avoid chemicals. The watchbase or band may
discolour if they come in contact with mercury from
a broken thermometer or other equipment.
Keep Your Watch Clean
It may become difficult to pull out the crown due to
dirt and dust getting caught between the crown and
the watch case when the watch is worn for long
periods of time. To help prevent this from happening,
turn the crown freely back and fourth occasionally
while it is in the normal set position.
Wipe off any water and moisture that adheres to
the case, glass and band with a soft, clean cloth.
Any dirt left on the case or band may cause skin
rash. A watchband may easily become soiled with
dust and perspiration because it is in direct contact
with the skin. Even a stainless or gold plated band
may begin to corrode if it has not been cleaned for
a long period of time. Mesh bands, because the
meshes are very fine, will lose their particular
“flexibility” if they are left soiled for a long time.
Metal watchbands should be washed periodically to
keep them looking beautiful at all times. Metal
watchbands are usually washed with a brush in
mild, soapy water and well wiped with a soft,
absorbant cloth to make sure all water is removed.
Pay attention to prevent any water from getting
inside your watch when the band is washed.
