The Casio AE-1000W-8AVDF is a quintessential digital sports watch engineered for the adventurer who demands both functionality and resilience. Housed within a robust round grey resin case, this timepiece delivers an impressive suite of features anchored by a multi-function digital display that resembles an aircraft cockpit instrument panel. The grey dial presents a wealth of information at a glance, including world time, five daily alarms, an auto-calendar, and a 1/100-second stopwatch—all powered by Casio's legendary 10-year battery life on a single CR2025 cell.
At Cassims & Co., we recognise the enduring appeal of purpose-built digital watches, and the AE-1000W embodies that ethos perfectly. Its world-map-based world time function displays the current time in 31 time zones, making it an indispensable companion for frequent travellers or anyone managing international schedules. The large digital readout is complemented by an LC analogue sub-display for home city time, while the LED backlight (illuminator) ensures legibility in low-light environments. A grey resin strap with textured detailing completes the package, delivering comfort and durability in equal measure.
Water-resistant to 100 metres, this Casio is ready for swimming, snorkelling, and everyday exposure to the elements. The quartz movement guarantees pinpoint accuracy with minimal maintenance, and the battery-sipping design means you'll spend more time wearing it and less time servicing it. Whether you're coordinating global meetings or simply appreciate the utilitarian charm of a feature-rich digital watch, the AE-1000W-8AVDF strikes a rare balance between technical sophistication and accessible everyday wear.

Warranty

- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- It does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, damage caused by accidents or misuse, water damage resulting from improper use (e.g. operating buttons underwater), unauthorised repairs or modifications, or damage from extreme conditions outside the watch's specifications.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup and preserve the resin.
- Wipe the case and strap dry with a soft, lint-free cloth after rinsing.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can degrade resin materials over time.
- Do not operate the buttons while the watch is underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields and harsh chemicals.
- If the LED backlight dims noticeably or the display becomes faint, it is time to replace the battery. Bring the watch to our service team for professional battery replacement to maintain the factory seal and water resistance.
- Though rated to 100 metres, avoid high-velocity water activities (e.g. jet skiing) and never use the watch for saturation diving.
