TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to
increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on
diving into water.
TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with
stable accuracy within a
temperature range of 5
° C and 35° C (41° F and
95° F).
Temperatures over 60° C (140° F)
14 may cause battery leakage or short-
en the battery life. Do not leave
your watch in very low temperatures
below –10° C (+14° F) for a long
time since the cold may cause a
slight time loss or gain.
However, the above conditions will
be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.
MAGNETISM
Your watch will be adversely affected by strong
magnetism. Keep it away
from close contact with
magnetic objects.
