WATERPROOF TESTED A.T.S.TIDE & SURF WATCHES Rip Curl watches are tested to the highest industry standards with the best Swiss pressure testing equipment and are purpose built for SURFING! Note: All Industry standards watch testing is done to an overpressure situation in a static laboratory environment and does not signify a diving depth. See chart below for recommended usages. Due to the fact that surfing is in no way a static sport, there are influences that can effect a watch's ability to keep water out. Eg. Frequent temperature changes, salt water and big wipeouts can diminish the longevity of the watches rubber seals. To keep your watch in peak condition for surfing we recommend that you have your watch seals replaced and fully tested at the Rip Curl Watch Service Centre every 24 months. Rip Curl watches are assembled and tested to exacting Swiss Quality Standards in a new state of the art manufacturing facility. Our guarantee of quality and service is a product of the Search...

A purchase receipt is the cash register receipt or credit card statement clearly showing the purchase. Note: Rip Curl reserves the right to repair or replace, with an equivalent style, any warranty watch. Five years on Movements from the date of purchase. Note: A Movement is the part inside the Watch that makes it work, but it does not include the Crown, sometimes called the Winder. Two years on Waterproof from the date of purchase. Note: We recommend all Watches be serviced, resealed and tested for water proofness every two years as heat, temperature changes, salt and other elements will diminish waterproofness over time. Have this done at the Rip Curl Watch Service Centre and we will then issue a new warranty for another two years. One year on batteries from the date of purchase. Note: Rip Curl's Service Centre can replace all batteries and at the same time will reseal and test the watch functions and waterproofness. We will then issue a new one year warranty on the new battery. Not covered by any warranty is the glass, band and case.
