Do not remove the secondary battery from the watch.
- About the secondary battery → Power Source
Replacement of the secondary battery requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for replacement of the secondary battery. Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting and ignition.
CAUTION
Please note that there is a risk of minor injury or material damage if the
following safety regulations are not strictly observed.
Avoid the following places for wearing or keeping the watch:
- Places where volatile agents (cosmetics such as polish remover, bug repellent, thinners etc.) are vaporizing
- Places where the temperature drops below 5°C or rises above 35°C for a long time
- Places affected by strong magnetism or static electricity
- Places affected by strong vibrations
- Places of high humidity
- Dusty places
If you observe any allergic symptoms or skin irritation
Stop wearing the watch immediately and consult a specialist such as a
dermatologist or an allergist.
Other cautions
- For adjusting the length of the metallic band, specialized knowledge and expertise are necessary. Therefore, in such a case, contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased. If you attempt to adjust the metallic band, injury may occur to your hand or fingers, or parts of the band may be lost.
- Do not disassemble or tamper with the watch.
- Keep the watch out of the reach of babies and children. Extra care should be taken to avoid risks of any injury or allergic rash or itching that may be caused when you touch the watch.
- When disposing of used batteries, follow the instructions of your local authorities.
- If your watch is of the fob or pendant type, the strap or chain attached to the watch may damage your clothes, or injure the hand, neck, or other parts of your body.
WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or saturation diving. The various
tightened inspections under simulated harsh environments, which are usually
required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation diving, have not
been conducted on the water-resistant watch with the BAR (barometric pressure)
display. For diving, use watches specifically designed for diving.
CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from faucet. The water pressure of tap
water from a faucet is high enough to degrade the water-resistant performance
of a water-resistant watch for everyday life.
CAUTION
Please note that there is a risk of minor injury or material damage if the
following safety regulations are not strictly observed.
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
- If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water droplets appear inside of the watch for a long time, the water-resistant performance of the watch has deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water-resistant watch may lessen its water-resistant
performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on the glass or gasket,
or the development of rust on stainless steel.
Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate the
deterioration of the water-resistant performance of the watch.
Before use
-
Make sure to keep the watch sufficiently charged
The watch operates while charging electricity by converting light received on the dial to electrical energy. It cannot properly operate unless the remaining energy is sufficient. Place or store in a location receiving light, etc., to sufficiently charge electricity. -
The amount of energy stored in the watch can be checked by the movement of the seconds hand.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
Power Source
The battery used in this watch is a special secondary battery, which is different from ordinary batteries. Unlike an ordinary silver oxide battery, the secondary battery does not require periodic replacement. The capacity or charging efficiency may gradually lower due to long-term use or operating environment. In addition, long-term use may shorten the charge duration due to wear, contamination, lubricant deterioration of mechanical parts, etc. Request repair when the performance lowers.
WARNING
Notes on replacing the secondary battery
-
Do not remove the secondary battery from the watch. Replacement of the secondary battery requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for replacement of the secondary battery.
-
Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting and ignition.
-
Overcharge prevention function
When the secondary battery is fully charged, the overcharge prevention function is automatically activated to avoid further charging. There is no need to worry about damage caused by overcharging no matter how much the secondary battery is charged in excess of the “time required for fully charging the watch.”- For the required time to fully charge the battery, see “Guide to charging times”.
WARNING
Notes on charging the watch
- When charging the watch, do not place the watch in close proximity to an intense light source such as lighting equipment for photography, spotlights or incandescent lights, as the watch may be excessively heated resulting in damage to its internal parts.
- When charging the watch by exposure to direct sunlight, avoid places that easily reach high temperatures, such as a car dashboard.
- Always keep the watch temperature under 50°C.
Daily care
The watch requires good daily care
- Do not wash the watch when its crown is in the extended position.
- Wipe away moisture, sweat or dirt with a soft cloth.
- After soaking the watch in seawater, be sure to wash the watch in clean pure water and wipe it dry carefully. Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch. Put some water into a bowl first, and then soak the watch in the water to wash it.
- If your watch is rated as “Non-water resistant” or “water resistant for daily use,” please do not wash the watch.

Lumibrite
If your watch has Lumibrite
Lumibrite is a luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of sunlight and
lighting apparatuses in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10
minutes, Lumibrite can emit light for 3 to 5 hours. Please note, however,
that, as Lumibrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light
decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also
differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where
the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the
watch.
- In general, when coming from a place that is bright to a place that is dark, it takes human eyes some time to adapt to the darkness making it difficult to see objects initially. (Dark adaptation)
- Lumibrite is luminous paint that stores and emits light, which is harmless to human beings and the environment, containing no toxic materials such as radioactive substances.

Magnetic resistant performance
Affected by nearby magnetism, a watch may temporarily gain or lose time or
stop operating.
If the watch becomes magnetized and its accuracy deteriorates to an extent exceeding the specified rate under normal use, the watch needs to be demagnetized. In this case, you will be charged for demagnetization and accuracy readjustment even if it happens within the guarantee period.
The reason why a watch is affected by magnetism
The built-in motor is provided with a magnet, which may be influenced by a
strong external magnetic field.
Examples of common magnetic products that may affect watches
Band
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.
Metallic 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 result in a rash or 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.) Clean it off with a soft cloth.
- Because some titan bands 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 band, 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.
Leather band
- 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.
- 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/20-BAR water resistant).
Polyurethane band
- 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, have the band replaced with a new one. If you continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.
Notes on skin
irritation and
allergy
| Skin irritation caused by a band may result from various factors such as
allergy to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or
the band itself.
