WARRANTY INFORMATION

FreeStyle U.S.A. warrants, to the original
purchaser, that its watches are free from
defects in materials and workmanship for
a period of ten (10) years under normal
use. The warranty excludes batteries,
crystal, watch case plating, and strap/
bracelet/band. The warranty excludes

normal wear and tear and abuse.

Special note: FreeStyle® watches are
designed and engineered to be highly
water-resistant, and to withstand the most
active of lifestyles. The most important
component in keeping your watch water­resistant is the case back O-ring, which
prevents water from entering the watch
through the case back.

Water leakage most often occurs after
improper battery replacement. We strong­ly recommend having a certified jeweler,
watch repair technician or FreeStyle's ser­vice center replace your battery. Water
leakage due to improper battery replace­ment is not covered under warranty.

Should your FreeStyle® watch require
warranty service, send it, along with a copy
of your sales receipt, your printed name,
address, and daytime phone number and
a brief description of the problem. Please
include a check, money order, or credit
card information for $8.00 to cover pro­cessing and handling to:

Please allow 20 days for return of your
watch.

Neither this warranty, nor any other war­ranty expressed, is assumed for any inci­dental or consequential damages, includ­ing but not limited to the mathematical
accuracy of the product. Some states do
not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusions of
or limitations on consequential damages,
so the above limitations may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights
which vary from state to state.

This warranty applies to watches pur­chased in the United States. For watches
purchased outside the United States,
please contact your authorized FreeStyle
dealer for warranty
information.

If your watch requires servicing not cov­ered under our warranty (battery, crystal,
strap/bracelet/band, watch case plating), or
refurbishing, complete the return form
(attached) and return with your watch. Be
sure to include a check, money order or
credit card information for desired replace­ment parts. Please include $8.00 for pro­cessing and
handling.
