English TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH CAUTION ● CARE OF YOUR WATCH • The case and band touch the skin directly. Keep the case and band clean at all times. This will help to extend the life of the watch and will reduce the risk of skin irritations. • When you take the watch off, wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft dry cloth as soon as possible. This will help to extend the life of the case, band and gasket. • Gently blot up the moisture using a soft dry cloth. Do not rub the leather, as this may cause abrasions or discoloration. • To keep the bracelet clean, use a soft toothbrush dipped in clean or soapy water. Be careful not to get water on the case. 14 ● RASH AND ALLERGIC REACTION • Adjust the band to allow a little clearance around your wrist to ensure proper airflow. • Prolonged and/or repeated contact with the band may cause skin irritation or dermatitis for those susceptible. • Possible causes of dermatitis • Allergic reaction to metals or leathers • Rust, contamination or perspiration accumulated on the watch case or band. • If you should develop any allergic symptoms or skin irritation, immediately stop wearing the watch and seek medical attention. PRECAUTIONS ON WEARING YOUR WATCH • Exercise care when you hold an infant or small child while wearing the watch on your wrist, as the infant or child may be injured or develop an allergic reaction caused by direct contact with the watch. • Avoid undue shocks such as dropping or scratching against hard surfaces or playing active sports, which may cause temporary malfunctions. • There is a possibility of injury caused by wearing the watch on your wrist especially if you fall down or bump into other people or objects. 15 English
