CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

To extend the life of your watch it is recommended to regularly remove sweat, dust and dirt from the case, bracelet or strap with a soft dry cloth. For heavy soil, warm soapy water may be used providing the watch is water resistant and is dried properly following the cleaning process.

TEMPERATURE

Avoid exposing the watch to prolonged direct sunlight or leaving it in extremely hot or cold places for extended periods of time. Extremes of temperature may damage the battery or movement.

SHOCK RESISTANCE

The watch may be worn while playing sport, however severe shocks such as dropping the watch onto a hard surface may cause permanent damage. Hard surfaces can scratch the watch.

MAGNETIC RESISTANCE

While no problems should occur during normal use around household appliances, we recommend that your watch be kept away from transformers, arc welders, magnetic blankets or other strongly magnetising items. Magnetic fields may temporarily affect the accuracy of the watch.

WATER RESISTANCE

The water resistance indicated (either in METRES or ATM) refers to a dry atmospheric pressure test and is not the depth below sea level that the watch has been designed for. Michael Hill watches' water resistance is indicated at the back of the watch face.

Although water resistant watches are warranted, steps should be taken to avoid damage that results from mishandling. It is not recommended to wear your watch in heated water such as showers or hot tubs. Do not operate the crown or push buttons under water or while the watch is wet. If the watch features a screw down crown, ensure it is tightened before submersing in water. If the watch is used in seawater, be sure to rinse it thoroughly with clean fresh water to remove all traces of salt. Never store a wet watch in a closed container. Any sign of moisture inside the case requires the watch to be taken to a Michael Hill store for service. Seals and other water resistant parts should be replaced every 2 years during regular maintenance to ensure ongoing water resistance. Sudden changes in temperature might let moisture into the watch.
