TE-14265 Watch - Gray

Important Safety Notice for Women’s Watches in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on General Product Safety (GPSR)

This is a targeted safety notice for the correct and safe use of women’s watches (analog, manual mechanical/automatic, quartz battery-powered, and smart watches). Due to the presence of glass, small parts, battery/electronics, and possible water resistance only to a certain extent, please follow the instructions below.

Basic Safety and Handling Principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Small parts (crowns, screws, battery covers) and glass pose a risk of swallowing and cuts; the product is not a toy.
• Glass parts: Broken or cracked glass can cause cuts; immediately stop wearing the watch and have it repaired.
• Water and moisture: Respect the water resistance marking; “water resistant” does not mean suitable for swimming unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer.
• Heat and impacts: Do not expose to high temperatures, frost, or strong impacts; this may damage the mechanism and seals.

Correct and Safe Use

• Crown and buttons: Do not operate them underwater; after setting, firmly press/screw the part according to the type to maintain tightness.
• Water resistance in practice: Use only models with the appropriate marking for showering/swimming; after contact with salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it.
• Magnetic fields: Strong magnets can affect the accuracy of mechanical watches; keep away from strong speakers or magnetic holders.
• Smart functions: When worn in sensitive areas (e.g., during medical procedures), follow the manufacturer’s instructions; do not charge on the body or under a pillow.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• Cleaning: Clean the case and strap with a soft cloth; do not soak leather, rinse and dry metal; avoid aggressive cleaners and acetone.
• Service: Entrust battery and seal replacement to professional service; perform a pressure test if water resistance is reduced.
• Storage: Store dry, away from direct sunlight and magnetic sources; store smart watches long-term with a charge of approximately 40–60%.

Specific Health Warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Some metals (e.g., nickel), surface treatments, and silicones may cause reactions; if redness or itching occurs, remove the watch and clean the skin.
• Skin hygiene: After sweating, ventilate and clean the skin under the watch; prolonged moisture may cause irritation.
• Implanted devices: Keep strong magnetic clasps and charging coils in accordance with doctor and manufacturer recommendations.

Disposal

• Ecological disposal: Do not dispose of electronic parts, accumulators, and batteries in household waste; hand them over to an electronic waste collection point. Sort metal/plastic according to local regulations.

Incidents and Contact

• In case of an incident (cut by broken glass, skin irritation, water ingress into the case), immediately stop using the watch and seek service or medical help. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint processing.
