BATTERY LIFE
The battery life is 18 months based on normal usage.
Extended use of the stopwatch, the atomic receiving
function or other watch functions will shorten the
expected battery life.
ACTIVITY ZONE CHART cont’d
Zone 3: Moderate activity – 121 to 140 bpm. Can be
reached, for example, by running easily, you improve your
functional capacity in this zone. Increase your lung
capacity and respiratory rate, and heart strength so you
can exercise longer before becoming fatigued.
Zone 4: High activity – 141 to 160 bpm. This zone is
reached by exercising hard – running faster. Get faster
and fitter, increasing your heart rate as you cross from
aerobic to anaerobic training. This is where you can “feel
the burn”.
Zone 5: Extreme activity – Greater than 160 bpm. This
is the equivalent of running all out and is used mostly as
an “interval” training regimen. There is an increased
potential for injury in this zone.
2 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
The inner components of this watch are warranted to be
free from defects in materials and manufacturer’s
workmanship for two years from the original date of
purchase. Receipt required for proof of purchase date.
This warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear or
abuse, and excludes the battery, crystal, strap or bracelet.
It does not cover costs, parts, labor, defects or damage
caused by any source other than Golden State International. Warranty will be void if there is evidence that the
case back has been tampered with. Within this warranty
period, if you return your watch due to a manufacturer’s
defect, there are no shipping and handling charges. If the
warranty period has expired, there is a US$5.00 shipping
charge. If you would like the battery, case crystal and/or
strap replaced, please see the price list of additional
charges below. We recommend that you do not get leather
straps wet as moisture may cause discoloration.
Water Resistance – Exposure to moisture may result in
rust and failure of metal and/or mechanical portions of a
watch. Only watches with the words “water resistant”
engraved on the back of the watch may be safely
submerged in water. 30M marking is OK for showering,
washing, etc. 50M marking is OK for swimming and
bathing. The watch will remain water resistant only as
long as the crown and case remain intact. Changing your
watch battery may alter the water resistance of the watch
unless done by an experienced watchmaker or jeweler.
Any implied warranties are also limited to two years from
the date of original purchase. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you. In the event of a
defect or malfunction outside of the two-year period, the
watch will be repaired or replaced at our discretion.
Please note that GSI reserves the right to substitute a
watch of equal or greater value and similar appearance to
the returned watch on both in-warranty and out-of-fwarranty returns/repairs.
