Only a professional using appropriate tools will be able to replace the battery without damaging your watch.

Within the Ice-Watch brand, each watch belongs to a specific collection with its own distinctive name. Ice-Watch brand watches are categorised based on styles or designs. You can therefore find the same model/reference/sku in different colours, materials and sizes within the same collection. In other words, you can find slightly different versions of a model within the collection it belongs to. Each collection reflects a specific style, time of day, activity, mood, desire, taste, etc. We hope that these collections will help you appreciate our brand.
We advise you to visit a point of sale distributing the brand to have the size of a link strap adjusted. This adjustment may incur a cost depending on your chosen point of sale. Only a professional using appropriate tools will be able to adjust the strap without damaging your watch.
Waterproofness of watches applies to a new watch with seals, glass and case in perfect condition. Although waterproofness is ensured during production and proven when the watch leaves the workshops, it is not guaranteed 'for life'. The duration of this waterproofness may vary depending on the watch's features, how it is used and how it is cared for. A round model is less exposed to risk than a shaped model. Normal ageing of the seals that ensure waterproofness is accelerated by thermal shocks or sudden variations in temperature occurring when the watch moves from direct sunlight to cold water or a damp environment.
A chronograph watch has an additional mechanism, which you can see on the face, allowing you to calculate the time taken by an event. The aim is to measure an elapsed period of time by starting the system whenever you need it. The chronograph consists of a central hand and can sometimes display minutes and more rarely hours. It is actually designed to measure just short periods of time.
We advise you to visit a point of sale distributing the brand to have the size of a link strap adjusted. This adjustment may incur a cost depending on your chosen point of sale. Only a professional using appropriate tools will be able to adjust the strap without damaging your watch.
Salt water, acidity from perspiration, perfume and chemical products attack the seals and reduce the duration of waterproofness. We therefore advise you to check the condition of your watch regularly and make sure all the elements that contribute to waterproofness are intact and in good condition: crown, push-button, glass, seals. Do not use the crown or push-buttons of your watch when in water. If your watch has a screw-down crown, always check carefully to make sure the crown has been screwed all the way back in before going into water.

If you notice any damage or anomalies, avoid all contact with water. Infiltrations of water or humidity can require very expensive repairs. Water condensation under the glass of the watch or on the face indicates that the watch is no longer waterproof and must be repaired by a professional as soon as possible.

In particular, in the case of natural material straps (leather, fabric, etc.).
For a service that involves opening the case, make sure that the waterproofness checks have been carried out, especially if you use your watch frequently in water or a humid atmosphere. We advise you to have your watch's waterproofness checked every year and each time the watch is opened.
