Housed in a rugged 51.3mm grey resin case with aggressive protective guards at each corner, this watch is built to withstand the demands of active lifestyles. The standout feature is its vibrant orange digital display, offering exceptional contrast and readability in all lighting conditions — a deliberate design choice for those who need to read the time at a glance, whether on the trail, at the gym, or in low-light environments.

Warranty
- Warranty Period: This watch carries a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, straps or bracelets, crystal scratches, cosmetic damage, or any damage resulting from accidents, misuse, water damage due to improper seal maintenance, or unauthorised repairs.
- Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Casio retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- Claim Process: To make a warranty claim, please retain your original proof of purchase and contact us at Cassim & Co. We will facilitate the warranty service through Casio's authorised service network.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to aging of gaskets. Water resistance is not covered under warranty if damage results from improper use or failure to maintain seals.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue build-up on the resin case and strap.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that may damage the resin material.
- Water Resistance: While the watch is water-resistant to 100 metres, do not operate the pushers or crown while the watch is submerged or wet, as this may compromise the seal.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to UV light may cause the resin to fade or become brittle over time.
- Battery Replacement: When the display begins to dim or the watch stops functioning, have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to maintain water resistance. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with battery replacements.
- Avoid: Do not expose the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals such as solvents, detergents, or perfumes, as these may damage the resin components or affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Impact Protection: Although designed for durability, avoid deliberate impacts or dropping the watch onto hard surfaces, as severe shocks may damage the internal module.
