SAFETY AND HANDLING
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock,
injury, or damage to Apple Watch or other property. Read all the safety information below
before using Apple Watch.
Handling Handle Apple Watch with care. Apple Watch cases are made of various materials
that include the following:

composite back (plastic)

Apple Watch contains sensitive electronic components and can be damaged if dropped,
burned, punctured, or crushed. Apple Watch cases made of ceramic may chip or crack if
dropped or subjected to forceful impact. Don’t use a damaged Apple Watch, such as one with
a cracked screen or case, visible liquid intrusion, or a damaged band, as it may cause injury.
Avoid heavy exposure to dust or sand.
