time will be displayed as well.

number will be automatically

counting. Press the START/LAP

RIGHTEOUS WELCOME!
Congrats on joining the FREESTYLE 
Team with your ownership of this gnarly 
FREESTYLE Timepiece. All 
FREESTYLE products utilize the highest 
quality materials and timekeeping 
technology to provide the highest 
performance under Earth’s elements!  
FREESTYLE Timepieces are designed 
by Southern California Natives with you, 
the core rider, in mind.  

OUR ROOTS…
Born in 1981, Freestyle was the 
brainchild of friendly Surfers whose 
mission was to create a watch line that 
could withstand the abusive conditions 
of their beach lifestyle. Their experience 
told them no watches in the market could 
stand up to their standards. Their goal 
was to fill the void. The result was 
FREESTYLE!  

They created timepieces which were 
extremely durable with high quality 
standards such as 100% Stainless Steel, 
H20 resistance from 5ATM to 20ATM, 
salt-water durable nylon and 
polyurethane bands, in addition to other 
quality materials all molded by the 
highest quality craftsmanship. As 
FREESTYLE has grown successfully in 
the last 25 years, the core vibe remains 
the same – SOCAL RAISED, SOCAL 
BASED! And so does our core goal – 
KEEPING YOU ON TIME, WHEN 
YOU’RE LOSING YOUR MIND!

1. Avoid exposing your FREESTYLE 

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.  

2.  Avoid exposing your watch to 

strong chemicals, soap or 
solvents as they may cause 
discoloration, deterioration or 
damage to strap, rubber seals 
and lubricants essential to the life of 
the watch. 

3.  Be aware of the water resistance 

of your FREESTYLE timepiece.

4.  Do not operate buttons or pull 

out crown under water or when 
the watch is wet.

5.  Make sure your crown is returned 

to its original position before you 
hit the surf or expose your watch 
to water.

6. Always rinse your FREESTYLE 

watch in fresh water after exposure 
to salt water, wipe dry with a soft 
cloth and store in a dry place. 

7. Do not wear leather bands in the 

water.

8.  Avoid sever impacts, or drops onto 

hard surfaces. 

9.  Do not attempt to repair the watch 

yourself. It is strongly recommended 
that a certified jeweler, watch repair 
technician or FREESTYLE service 
center replace your battery.  This will 
help in preventing water leakage 
from improper battery replacement, 
which is not covered in your warranty.
