Affected by nearby magnetism, a watch may temporarily gain or lose time or stop operating.
Indication on the case back
Condition of use
Certified level
Keep the watch more than 5cm 
away from magnetic products.

Keep the watch more than 1 cm 
away from magnetic products.

The watch can maintain its performance in 
most cases where it is brought close to (at 
least 1cm spaced from) magnetic products 
not only in normal daily life circumstances 
but also in a special work environments.

※ A/m (ampere meter) is the International unit (SI unit) for indicating the magnetic field.
If  the  watch  becomes  magnetized  and  its  accuracy  deteriorates  to  an 
extent exceeding the specified rate under normal use, the watch may need 
to be demagnetized. In this case, you will be charged for demagnetization 
and accuracy readjustment even if it happens within the guarantee period.
The reason why this watch is affected by magnetism
The built-in speed-regulating mechanism is provided with a magnet, which 
may be influenced by a strong external magnetic field. 
Examples of common magnetic products that may affect watches
The  band  touches  the  skin  directly  and  becomes  dirty  from 
sweat  or  dust.  Therefore,  lack  of  care  may  accelerate 
deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain on the 
sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
Metallic band
○  Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band 
if they are left for a long time.
○  Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
○ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
○  To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water 
and then brush it off with a soft toothbrush (Protect the watch body from 
water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.).
○  Because some titanium bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which 
has outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
○  If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case 
may fall off the bracelet, or the clasp may not open.
○  If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain 
from using the watch and request repair.
Leather band
○  A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from 
moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
○  Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting 
them up with a dry cloth.
○  Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.
○  Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt 
is likely to show up.
○  Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while 
bathing, swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is 
water-resistant enforced for daily use (10-BAR/20-BAR water resistant).
Polyurethane band
○  A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may 
be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
○  Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs 
other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
○  Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth. (Protect the 
watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
○  When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you 
continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.
Notes on skin irritation and allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy to metals 
or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.
Notes on the length of the band
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to 
ensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enough 
room to insert a finger between the band and your wrist.
