Watches should be treated like jewelry. To best protect your watch, be sure to be conscious when spraying perfume, hair spray etc. A jewelry polishing cloth can be used to polish the watch and clean it of fingerprints. Watches are splash resistant, unless otherwise noted on the case back. Battery Replacement: We encourage the customer to take his/her watch to a qualified local watch repair center or jeweler to have the battery replaced. It is very important that a battery is replaced by someone that can properly seal the watch after replacing a battery so that it is protected from liquids damaging the mechanism of the watch.
