Before Diving/Snorkeling

• Be sure to check if the battery power is low (check for low light

intensity, a dim display, or the flashing indicator). If it is, do not
use the watch for diving/snorkeling.

• Make sure that the watch is set to the correct time.

• Check the glass, case and band for cracks or chips.

• Make sure that the band is fastened securely around your wrist.

While Diving/Snorkeling

scratching the watch.

After Diving/Snorkeling
To avoid corrosion, rinse your watch thoroughly with fresh water to

water overnight to make sure that all salt is removed.
