WATER RESISTANCE

All Detrola watches are designed with a water-resistance rating of 5 ATM.

The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement from dust, moisture, and risk of damage to the movement should it be immersed in water. Please see chart for guidelines for recommended exposure of various water ratings.

It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the crown while the timepiece is in contact with water. Water can enter the case causing damage to the movement.

All Detrola watches are designed with a water-resistance rating of 5 ATM. See guidelines below:

WaterResistance Characteristics| Light Spray, Perspiration, Light Rain, etc.| Swimming, etc.| Skin Diving (Diving without oxygen cylinder)

CARE AND PRECAUTION

Each Shinola timepiece is designed and manufactured to the highest of standards. Unlike most other mechanical objects, a watch operates non-stop. In order to ensure optimal performance and longevity from your Shinola timepiece, please review the simple guidelines for care and precautions.

CARE

Clean your watch with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge your watch under water unless it is water rated.
After saltwater use, rinse watch under tap water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

PRECAUTIONS

Your timepiece is a complex integration of parts and components brought together by skilled craftsmen. There are certain actions or environmental situations that may damage or impede your timepiece’s ability to perform optimally.
It is important to avoid the following conditions: extreme heat or cold, as well as prolonged periods of exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to wet conditions that exceed your timepiece’s water rating. (See caseback and chart).
Your timepiece should not be affected by magnetic fields generated by household items such as televisions and stereos, but avoidance of other strong electric fields or static electricity, which may interrupt mechanism, is suggested. It is also important to avoid extreme shock or impact.

POWER SAVING MECHANISM

In order to extend the battery life of your watch when it¹s not in use, gently pull the movement stem/crown out until you feel it click. This will reduce battery power consumption by 70%. Please note that this is the same stem/crown position that is used to perform a quick TIME SETTING.

END OF BATTERY LIFE (EOL)

Select quartz watches are equipped with a feature to indicate when the battery level is low. When the battery gets to that stage, the second hand will jump 4 steps at a time, every 4 seconds. This behavior lowers the power consumption while still displaying the time accurately and letting you know that it is time to change the battery.

The following warranties and remedies are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, terms or conditions, express, implied or statutory, as to any matter whatsoever, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, satisfactory quality, title, and non-infringement, all of which are expressly disclaimed by Shinola. Shinola shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages or liabilities of any kind arising out of or in connection with the sale or use of this product, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict product liability or any other theory, even if Shinola has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if any limited remedy specified herein is deemed to have failed of its essential purpose. Shinola’s entire liability shall be limited to replacement or repair at Shinola’s sole option. However some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental consequential damages so the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to you. When implied warranties may not be excluded in their entirety, they will be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have other rights that may vary depending on local law. Your statutory rights are not affected.

WARRANTY DETAILS

Your Shinola watch is warranted by Shinola under the terms and conditions of its warranty. The Shinola warranties cover faulty workmanship under normal use for the period applicable to your timepiece indicated above. In case of defects covered by the warranties, all components (excluding battery, leather/rubber/nylon/silicone strap and buckle) will be repaired or the watch will be replaced free of charge. In the case of a replacement, Shinola cannot guarantee that you will receive the same watch model. If your model is not available a watch of equal value and similar style will be provided.

For service work that is not covered under these warranties, the service center may perform the services you request for a charge dependent on the type of work requested. You will be notified of such charges prior to Shinola commencing the requested repair(s). Shinola will commence such repairs only upon your prior approval to such charges.

THESE WARRANTIES DO NOT COVER

Silicone/leather/rubber/nylon strap, battery or buckle
Damage resulting from improper handling, lack of care, accidents or normal wear and tear
Water damage unless marked water-resistant
These warranties are void if the watch has been damaged by accident, negligence or persons other than authorized Shinola sales or service agents, unauthorized service, or other factors not due to defects in materials or workmanship.
Detrola watches which have not been registered with Shinola
Pre-owned vintage watches sold in as-is condition
If you have your watch battery replaced by any service provider other than a Shinola authorized service center, such replacement will not void your warranty, so long as such replacement (i) is performed by an experienced and legitimate service center, (ii) is not performed in a negligent manner, and (iii) is reassembled properly, including without limitation, replacement of gasket if necessary to achieve suitable water-tightness. Shinola has the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, if any such third party battery replacement voids your warranty.
