Your watch should be cleaned and maintained at least every 2 years.
When not being worn, keep your watch stored in a cool dry place.
Remove your watch if you are undertaking heavy/physical work.
Avoid abrasions as scratches may eventually affect the case and bracelet.
Ensure the crown which is used to change the time and date should be properly pushed in at all times. This will prevent penetration by water and dust.
Keep your watch clean with a soft dry cloth.
Quartz watches should be meticulously cleaned as even the smallest particle can result in damage.
When the watch battery runs out, change it immediately as this can affect the movement.
When changing the time or date, never do it within 3 hours either side of midnight. At this time the watch’s regular date change is being carried out internally and should not be interferred with.
Immediately get your watch serviced if there is moisture inside the crystal.
Remove your watch for hot showers, baths, saunas, heavy or physical work as any moisture will damage the inner workings as well as wear down the strap.
Diving watches need regular servicing, despite their rigorous water resistance.
Don’t unnecessarily subject your watch to pressure or heat.
Any watch should be rinsed under fresh water after exposure to salt water.
Your watch should always be returned to an official authorized dealer for servicing or any other necessary repairs.
