FAQ
Q: What is the battery life of the Casio AE-1700H-1A2V?
A: This watch features an exceptional 10-year battery life powered by a single CR2032 battery. This extended longevity is achieved through Casio's efficient digital module design, meaning you won't need to worry about battery replacements for years. When replacement is eventually required, our servicing team can assist you at our Mall of the South location.
Q: Can I swim or dive with this watch?
A: Yes, the AE-1700H-1A2V is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. However, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. The rotating bezel can be used to track elapsed time during aquatic activities.
Q: What does the rotating bezel do on this watch?
A: The aluminium rotating bezel functions as an elapsed-time indicator. You can align the triangle marker with the minute hand or current time to track duration of activities such as workouts, parking time, or any timed event. Its dive-watch styling also gives the AE-1700H-1A2V its distinctive tactical aesthetic.
Q: How do I activate the LED backlight?
A: Press the illuminator button (typically located on the top left of the case) to activate the amber LED backlight. The light will remain on for approximately 1.5 to 3 seconds, providing clear visibility of the digital display in low-light or dark conditions.
Q: Does this watch have alarm functions?
A: Yes, the AE-1700H-1A2V features five independent daily alarms plus an hourly time signal. Each alarm can be set to sound at a specific time, and a snooze function is available. This makes it ideal for setting multiple reminders throughout your day or using as a wake-up alarm.
Q: Is this watch suitable for small wrists?
A: With a case width of 47.3mm, this watch has a bold, substantial presence that suits medium to larger wrists best. The lightweight resin construction (60g) helps prevent it from feeling too heavy, but those with smaller wrists may find the proportions oversized. We recommend trying it on at our boutique to assess the fit for your wrist size.
Q: What is included with the Casio AE-1700H-1A2V purchase?
A: Your watch comes complete with the original Casio presentation box, instruction manual, and a 1-year international Casio warranty card valid from the date of purchase. As an authorised Casio retailer, Cassim & Co. ensures your warranty is fully honoured and provides ongoing after-sales support.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: The resin case and strap are durable but can be scratched by hard or abrasive surfaces. Avoid impact against hard objects and remove the watch during activities that may subject it to excessive shock.
- Water Exposure: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorinated pool water, or perspiration. Do not operate the buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and resin strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the strap, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
- Button Operation: Ensure hands are clean and dry when operating buttons. Excessive force is not required; gentle, deliberate presses will activate all functions.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields. Avoid leaving it in hot vehicles or humid environments for extended periods.
- Battery Replacement: When the display begins to dim or functions become sluggish after approximately 10 years, the battery requires replacement. Bring your watch to our servicing team to ensure proper battery installation and resealing to maintain water resistance.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 60°C) as this can affect digital display performance and battery life.
- Rotating Bezel: The aluminium bezel should rotate smoothly. If you notice resistance or grinding, debris may have entered the bezel mechanism. Have it inspected and cleaned by our service team to prevent damage.
