If used in sea water, rinse the 5 bar WR watch in fresh water and dry it completely. · When taking a shower with a water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a 10/15/20 bar WR bath with a water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following: * Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo. * If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. * Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. ** We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver's Watch for scuba diving.
