INSTRUCTIONS
WATCH CARE TIPS
With proper care, your FreeStyle®
timepiece will provide years of
trouble-free service. Should your
watch ever require repair, return it
directly to FreeStyle at the address
shown in the warranty information.
• Any watch should be thoroughly
rinsed in fresh water after use in salt
water, sand, mud, etc.
• If your watch has a rotating bezel,
rinse it thoroughly after use in salt
water or sand, rotating the bezel
several times while the watch is
immersed in fresh water.
• If your watch is equipped with a
leather band, treat it regularly with
a high-quality leather care product.
• Your battery should be replaced
approximately every two years.
SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
1. Pull crown out to first “click” as
shown in position 2.
2. Turn the crown and set the date
to one day before the actual date.
This is important to ensure proper
date advancement. If date does not
advance, turn crown in opposite
direction.
3. Pull the crown out one more “click”
as shown in position 3.
4. Turn the crown clockwise, moving
the watch hands until the correct
date appears. Note that you are now
in the AM mode and must advance
the hour hand all the way past the
12 o’clock position to set PM time.
Failure to follow this step will cause
the date to advance at 12 o’clock
noon instead of 12 o’clock midnight.
5. With the crown still in position 3,
rotate the crown until the hands are
positioned at the desired time.
6. Firmly push crown in as shown in
position 1. This will activate your
watch.

ALARM MOVEMENTS
If your watch has an alarm function
you can set the alarm by pulling out
the 3 o’clock crown to position 1
and turning it in a clockwise
direction. The shortest hand is
usually the alarm hand. When the
hand is set to the desired alarm time
pull out the 2 o’clock crown to turn
the alarm on. Alarm sounds for 15
seconds and is repeated for around
3 minutes. To turn alarm sounds off,
push the 2 o’ clock crown button
fully in.
METAL BAND ADJUSTMENT
If your watch is equipped with a
metal band, it may need adjusting
to fit your wrist. If removal of links
is necessary for proper adjustment,
this should be done by a watch
repair specialist or jeweler.
NYLON BAND CARE
All FreeStyle® nylon watch bands
are made from the highest quality
material. They are washable in
warm water and a mild liquid soap.
Since your watch is water resistant,
it is not necessary to remove the
band from the watch when washing
it. For stubborn stains, scrub with
a small brush (i.e. a toothbrush) and
rinse thoroughly. If your nylon band
has leather attached, apply a small
amount of a good quality water and
stain repellent leather care product
to the leather portion before and
after washing.
NIGHT VISION™ BACKLIGHTING
If your FreeStyle® watch is equipped
with the Night Vision™ backlighting
feature, you can activate the light
by pressing the button located on
either the two o’clock or three
o’clock position above the crown.
On some watches, pushing the
crown activates the light. The light
will remain activated for as long as
you hold the button. Additionally,
some models feature a delay that
will keep the light active for a brief
period after you release the button.
WARNING: Do not press the Night
VIsion™ button while underwater.
Although it is water-resistant in its
normal position it will leak when
pressed under water, and void your
warranty.
Under normal circumstances, use
of the Night Vision™ backlight will
not affect battery life. However,
repeated and frequent use of the
backlight will reduce battery service
life.
If your FreeStyle® watch is equipped
with a rotating bezel, this bezel
functions as a one-hour timer. To
use, simply rotate the bezel counter-
clockwise until the zero mark (a dot,
“V” or fin) on the bezel lines up with
the minute hand as shown in the
illustration at left. DO NOT FORCE
BEZEL IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
As the minute hand moves, you will
be able to track the elapsed time of
your dive or other activity.
NOTE: After use in salt water or
sand, always rinse the watch in fresh
water and rotate bezel several times
while immersed in fresh water.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Freestyle U.S.A. warrants, to the
original purchaser, that its watches
are free from defects in materials
and workmanship for a period of ten
(10) years under normal use. The
warranty excludes batteries, crystal,
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 O-
ring, 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.
