Crushing, puncturing, burning and dropping can damage the internal sensitive electronic components of the device. Ceramic may chip. Don’t subject it to impact. If there is a crack on the watch, don’t expose it to sand or dust.
Don’t attempt to repair the watch. The watch will lose its water-resistance if you disassemble it. You better let professionals handle this. Avoid replacing the battery on your own. You need data services for location-based apps such as Maps. These apps will not provide reliable information in case data services are not available.
Use a compatible charger to charge your Apple Watch. You can also use some third-party chargers if they meet safety standards. Don’t use a damaged charger or cable in the presence of moisture. This can cause injury, electric shock, or fire. You don’t want to cause any damage to the watch or property. If you are using Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock, MagSafe Duo Charger or Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable to charge the device, the dock or cable must be fully inserted. Charge your watch in a ventilated area.
Avoid exposure to prolonged heat. The watch and charger should not come in contact with warm surfaces. If the watch is getting heated while charging, remove it.

Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock, MagSafe Duo Charger, Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable and Apple Watch comply with radio frequency exposure regulations.
Radios and components in an Apple Watch emit EM field (electromagnetic field). The watch, charging cable, charger and some bands contain magnets. The magnet and EM field can interfere with defibrillators, pacemakers and certain other medical devices. Read the manufacturer’s instructions or speak to your doctor if you use medical devices. There should be a safe distance between the device and the band, charger, cable and the watch. In case the magnet or EM field interferes with the device, stop using Apple Watch.
Apple Watch comes with some features that can track your health. However, you cannot use your watch as a medical device.

The watch does not diagnose, prevent or treat any condition.
