Taking care of your watch

• Don't undo the screw crown under water
• Don't use the chronograph pushers underwater
• Flat batteries must be changed promptly to minimise chances of leakage.
• Do not place your quartz watch next to a magnet as it may stop. This is especially relative to magnetic mattresses, tourist bands, welders etc.
• After swimming in the ocean rinse your watch under fresh water whilst simultaneously turning the bezel.
• Ensure your screw crown is always done up.
• Its preferable not to wear bangles or bracelets with your watch as it reduces the plating life.
• Its always recommended to take your watch to an authorised service centre or directly to the manufacturer for any servicing needs.
• Ensure your watch bracelet is shortened to the correct length to maximise its life.
• Spray on your perfume before you put on your dress watch.
• Leavin gyour watch in constant direct sunlight will reduce the life of your seals and luminosity.
• Water Resist refers to the pressure your watch can take, not that your able to wear it in the shower.  The only watch companies that we deal with that may cover your warranty is Seiko and Adina for wearing in the shower.  Your shower/bath is hot and steamy, the seals in your watches are rubber so can be damaged by this heat.
