RIGHTEOUS WELCOME!
Congrats on joining the FREESTYLE
Team with your ownership of this gnarly
FREESTYLE Timepiece. All
FREESTYLE products utilize the highest
quality materials and timekeeping
technology to provide the highest
performance under Earth’s elements!
FREESTYLE Timepieces are designed
by Southern California Natives with you,
the core rider, in mind.
OUR ROOTS…
Born in 1981, Freestyle was the
brainchild of friendly Surfers whose
mission was to create a watch line that
could withstand the abusive conditions
of their beach lifestyle. Their experience
told them no watches in the market could
stand up to their standards. Their goal
was to fill the void. The result was
FREESTYLE!
They created timepieces which were
extremely durable with high quality
standards such as 100% Stainless Steel,
H20 resistance from 5ATM to 20ATM,
salt-water durable nylon and
polyurethane bands, in addition to other
quality materials all molded by the
highest quality craftsmanship. As
FREESTYLE has grown successfully in
the last 25 years, the core vibe remains
the same – SOCAL RAISED, SOCAL
BASED! And so does our core goal –
KEEPING YOU ON TIME, WHEN
YOU’RE LOSING YOUR MIND!

10 POINTS FOR LIFE AND CARE OF
FREESTYLE TIMEPIECES
1. Avoid exposing your FREESTYLE 
to extreme temperatures such as in 
a hot shower, Jacuzzi, sauna or hot 
tub. The combination of extreme 
heat and water may cause your 
watch to lose some of its water 
resistance.
2.  Avoid exposing your watch to 
strong chemicals, soap or 
solvents as they may cause 
discoloration, deterioration or 
damage to strap, rubber seals 
and lubricants essential to the life of 
the watch.
3.  Be aware of the water resistance 
of your FREESTYLE timepiece.
4.  Do not operate buttons or pull 
out crown under water or when 
the watch is wet.
5.  Make sure your crown is returned 
to its original position before you 
hit the surf or expose your watch 
to water.
6. Always rinse your FREESTYLE 
watch in fresh water after exposure 
to salt water, wipe dry with a soft 
cloth and store in a dry place.
7. Do not wear leather bands in the 
water.
8.  Avoid sever impacts, or drops onto 
hard surfaces.
9.  Do not attempt to repair the watch 
yourself. It is strongly recommended 
that a certified jeweler, watch repair 
technician or FREESTYLE service 
center replace your battery. This will 
help in preventing water leakage 
from improper battery replacement, 
which is not covered in your warranty.
