The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust. Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain on the sleeve edge.
The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
Metallic band
Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a long time.
Lack of care may result in a rash or cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it off with a soft toothbrush.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
Clean it off with a soft cloth.
Because some titan bands use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall off the band, or the clasp may not open.
If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the watch and request repair.
Polyurethane band
A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.
Silicone band
As for material characteristics, the band is easily dirtied, and may be stained and discolored.
Wipe off dirt with a wet cloth or cleaning tissue.
Unlike bands of other materials, cracks may result in the band being cut. Take care not to damage the band with an edged tool.
Fabric band (Nylon/Polyester)
Natural skin oil and dirt easily adhere to the band because it has a braided structure.
Beware of fraying, damage, etc., caused by catching this product on other things.
Note that the band may become discolored due to friction when wet with sweat or rain and that its color may transfer to other clothing.
Beware of static electricity caused by friction with clothing material.
If natural skin oil or dirt adheres to the band, gently wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth, etc.
When drying the band, dry it in an airy place out of direct sunlight.
The texture of the band may change if it is washed in water for a long time.
After wearing in seawater, such as when diving, etc., rinse the band sufficiently to remove salt completely.
Note that the band may discolor if it is left in direct sunlight.
Notes on skin irritation and allergy |
Skin irritation caused by a band may result from various factors such as allergy to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself. |

Notes on the length of the band |
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to ensure proper airflow. |
