Seiko Urban Sports - Chronograph - SSB405P1

The Seiko Urban Sports Chronograph SSB405P1 has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday wear, showering, swimming, and snorkeling, but not for high-impact water sports or scuba diving.

This watch features Hardlex crystal glass. Hardlex is Seiko's proprietary hardened mineral crystal, offering good resistance to impacts and scratches, though it is not as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal.

The stainless steel bracelet is fully adjustable. To achieve the correct fit, links will typically need to be removed. It is highly recommended to visit a professional jeweler or watch technician for this adjustment to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.

While it does not have a backlight, the watch features luminous material on its hands, which glows in low-light conditions after being exposed to light, allowing for easy readability in the dark.

The Seiko Urban Sports Chronograph SSB405P1 comes with a 2-Year Manufacturer's International Warranty, covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the warranty card included with your watch for specific terms and conditions.

A Tachymeter is a scale on the bezel (or dial) of a chronograph watch used to measure speed based on travel time over a fixed distance, or to measure distance based on speed. To use it, start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured mile/kilometer. When you complete the distance, stop the chronograph, and the second hand will point to your average speed on the Tachymeter scale.

While the watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet, it may be possible to replace it with another strap if it matches the lug width of the watch case. It's recommended to consult a jeweler or watch specialist to ensure compatibility and proper installation.

This can sometimes occur after an impact or battery change. Consult your user manual for specific crown/pusher combinations to calibrate the chronograph hands. Typically, pulling the crown out to a specific position (e.g., first or second click) allows the pushers to adjust the chronograph hands back to the zero position.

For a quartz watch, this usually indicates a depleted battery. Take the watch to a qualified watchmaker or authorized service center for battery replacement. This ensures the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is maintained.

Condensation can indicate a compromised water resistance seal. This often happens due to extreme temperature changes or if the crown was not fully pushed in when exposed to water. Have the watch inspected and serviced by a professional immediately to prevent internal damage to the movement.
