FAQ
Q: How does the world time function work on this watch?
A: The AE-1000W displays a world map on the upper right of the dial, allowing you to monitor up to four cities simultaneously. You can toggle through 48 cities across 31 time zones using the mode buttons. The watch automatically adjusts for daylight saving time in regions where applicable, ensuring accurate time tracking wherever your travels take you.
Q: What does the 10-year battery life mean in practice?
A: Casio has engineered this watch with an ultra-efficient quartz movement and power management system that draws minimal current from the battery. Under normal use—including regular use of the illuminator and alarms—the original battery should provide approximately ten years of service before requiring replacement, eliminating the inconvenience and cost of frequent battery changes.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or in the shower?
A: Yes, with 100-metre water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water sports. However, it is not designed for diving, high-velocity water sports, or prolonged submersion. Always ensure the crown and buttons are not operated while the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: How do I activate the LED illuminator?
A: Press the illuminator button (typically located on the upper left of the case) to activate the LED backlight, which illuminates the entire digital display for several seconds. This feature is particularly useful for checking the time in darkness or low-light conditions without requiring an external light source.
Q: Is the strap replaceable if it wears out?
A: Yes, the textile strap can be replaced if it becomes worn or damaged. Contact our team at Cassims & Co. for assistance sourcing genuine Casio replacement straps or compatible alternatives that maintain the watch's durability and aesthetic.
Q: What is the difference between the alarm and the hourly time signal?
A: The watch offers five independently programmable alarms that can be set for specific times and configured as daily or one-time alerts. The hourly time signal is a separate function that emits a brief beep at the top of every hour. Both can be enabled or muted according to your preference.
Q: Does this watch include a calendar function?
A: Yes, the AE-1000W includes a full auto-calendar pre-programmed to the year 2099, displaying the day, date, and month. The calendar automatically adjusts for months of varying lengths and leap years, requiring no manual correction.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, damage caused by accidents, misuse, improper handling, or water damage resulting from failure to observe water-resistance limitations.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or perspiration to prevent residue build-up on the case and strap.
- Clean the resin case and textile strap periodically using a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals including solvents, detergents, and cosmetics.
- Do not operate the buttons or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the water-resistant seals.
- If the strap becomes saturated, allow it to air-dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from magnetic fields and electronic devices that may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified technician when the display dims or functions become sluggish—continuing to use a depleted battery may cause leakage and internal damage.
