Notes on the
length of the
band
Notes on skin
irritation and
allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons
such as allergy to metals or leathers, or skin reactions
against friction on dust or the band itself.
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with
your wrist to ensure proper airflow. When
wearing the watch, leave enough room to insert
a finger between the band and your wrist.
Band
● Metallic band
• Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they
are left for a long time.
• Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of
shirts.
• Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible
• To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and
then brush it off with a soft toothbrush (Protect the watch body from water
splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
• Because some titan bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has
outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
• If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall
off the bracelet, or the clasp may not open.
• If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from
using the watch and request repair.
● Leather band
• A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from
moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
• Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting them up
with a dry cloth.
• Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.
• Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt is
likely to show up.
• Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while
bathing, swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is
water-resistant enforced for daily use (10-BAR/20-BAR water resistant).
● Polyurethane band
• A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be
deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
• Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other
colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
• Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth. (Protect the watch
body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
• When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new
one. If you continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or
become brittle over time.
● Silicone band
• As for material characteristics, the band is easily dirtied, and may be stained
and discolored. Wipe off dirt with a wet cloth or cleaning tissue.
• Unlike bands of other materials, cracks may result in the band being cut.
Take care not to damage the band with an edged tool.
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust.
Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin
irritation or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for
long usage.
