8. It is advisable to have your watch
    pressure tested annually and to
    re-furbish your watch every 2-3

years to extend the life of the watch.

1. Never pull out the crown or operate
    the pushers/buttons under water.

3. If your watch is exposed to
    saltwater it is very important to
    wash it thoroughly under tap water

    and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
    Keep it clean!

7. Never try to remove the caseback,

leave this to a certified watch repair

    technician or Freestyle service
    center. This will help in preventing
    water leakage from improper

    battery replacement.

4. Severe impacts or drops may
    affect your watches water

    resistance and performance.

6. Avoid exposing your watch to
    chemicals, soaps or solvents as
    they deteriorate the water resist

    seals in your watch.

2. Make sure your crown is returned
    to the original position before you
    expose your watch to water.

5. Avoid exposing your Freestyle
    watch to extreme temperatures

    such as in a hot shower, Jacuzzi,

    sauna or hot tub. The combination
    of extreme heat and water may
    cause your watch to lose some of

    its water resistance.
