Even waterproof straps are water resistant but are not impervious to water and sould not be submerged for long periods of time.   Rubber/soft plastic - Avoid spraying fragrance or contact with detergents, insecticides etc. Stains made by dye, paints and oily substances may be difficut to remove. Due to the composition of the material straps, they may harden or discolour after extensive use.   Water resistant - Watches marked GUESS? waterproof or GUESS? steel are water resistant from 3ATM to 10ATM only as long as lens, buttons, crown, caseback and gaskets remain intact. Do not operate crowns or buttons when the watch is wet or under water.   Watches with no water resistant markings are splash proof and are not suitable for swimming.   Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water then always wipe watch dry.   Care and safety measures - Water resistance is not permanent. In the course of time the gaskets of the cases may become worn and reduce the water resistance of the watches.
