Examples of common magnetic products that may affect watches

Band

(maintenance procedure)

・Metallic band

・Leather 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 titan 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.

・

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.

The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with 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.

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.

・Polyurethane band

・ 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 water resistant）

.

・ 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 or cracked, replace the band with a new one.
