Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?

Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Emporio Armani warranty from the date of purchase when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor discolouration of straps or bracelets.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and servicing are not covered under warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper operation, or failure to ensure the crown is correctly positioned is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, unauthorized modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorized service centres will void the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, the original proof of purchase and completed warranty card must be presented.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and daily residue that can dull the polished finish.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and chlorinated water, which can damage the stainless steel finish and crystal settings.
- Although water-resistant to 50 metres, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, and water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Remove your watch before engaging in high-impact sports or activities that may subject it to shocks or magnetic fields, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or soft pouch will protect it from scratches and dust.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops. A depleted battery left inside can leak and cause internal damage. Our team can replace the battery and test water resistance during service.
- We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years, which includes movement inspection, case cleaning, seal replacement, and water resistance testing to ensure longevity.
- Clean the bracelet periodically with warm soapy water and a soft brush, taking care around the crystal-set bezel. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
