FAQ
Q: What does the 10-year battery feature mean?
A: Casio's 10-year battery technology uses an ultra-efficient power cell that delivers a decade of operation under normal use, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements and ensuring reliable timekeeping year after year.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: Yes. With 100-metre water resistance, the AE-1600WH is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. It is not designed for diving or high-impact water activities.
Q: How does the electro-luminescent backlight work?
A: Press the dedicated LIGHT button to activate the electro-luminescent panel, which illuminates the entire display for approximately 1.5 seconds, making the watch readable in darkness or low-light conditions.
Q: What is the chronograph measuring capacity?
A: The 1/100-second chronograph can measure elapsed time, split time, and 1st-2nd place times with precision up to one-hundredth of a second, making it ideal for training sessions and timing events.

A: This model features five independent daily alarms, allowing you to set multiple reminders throughout the day for appointments, medication, training intervals, or any other time-sensitive tasks.
Q: Is the resin strap comfortable for all-day wear?

Q: Can the strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Yes. Genuine Casio replacement straps are available through authorised retailers. Contact our team for assistance with strap replacement or to explore alternative strap options.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, misuse, water damage resulting from improper use (such as pressing buttons underwater), or damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- To validate your warranty, retain your original proof of purchase and ensure the watch has been purchased from an authorised Casio retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- For warranty service or repairs, contact Cassims & Co. or an authorised Casio service centre with your proof of purchase and a description of the issue.
Care guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or perspiration to prevent residue buildup on the resin case and strap.
- Dry the watch thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth, paying particular attention to the area around the buttons and strap keeper.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals such as solvents, detergents, or cosmetics, which may degrade the resin material.
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is underwater, as this may compromise the water-resistant seals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields and electronic devices when not in use.
- If the display becomes difficult to read or the backlight dims significantly, contact an authorised Casio service centre for battery replacement to maintain optimal performance.
- Periodically check the strap for signs of wear, cracking, or discolouration, and replace it promptly to ensure secure wear.
