Be sure to dry off your watch thoroughly before storing it and make sure it is not in contact with other items.
• Leaving your watch where it is exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long periods or failure to clean dirt from your watch for long periods can cause it to become discolored.
• Friction caused by certain conditions (strong external force, sustained rubbing,impact, etc.) can cause discoloration of painted components.
• If there are printed figures on the band, strong rubbing of the printed area can cause discoloration.
• Leaving your watch wet for long periods can cause fluorescent color to fade. Wipe the watch dry as soon as possible after it becomes wet.
• Semi-transparent resin parts can become discolored due to sweat and dirt, and if exposed to high temperatures and humidity for long periods.
• Daily use and long-term storage of your watch can lead to deterioration, breaking, or bending of resin components. The extent of such damage depends on usage conditions and storage conditions.
