WARRANTY INFORMATION

Freestyle U.S.A. warrants, to the
original purchaser, that its watches

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
water-resistant is the case back O­ring, 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 the following:

1. A copy of your sales receipt

2. Your printed name and address

3. Your telephone number

4. A brief description of the problem

5. Please include $8.50 for

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.
