FAQ
Q: Is the Casio MQ-24DA-2ADF suitable for swimming?
A: While the watch is marked as water resistant, it is designed for everyday splashes and brief immersion only, such as handwashing or light rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports activities. For aquatic activities, we recommend considering Casio's dedicated dive watch models with higher water resistance ratings.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?
A: The MQ-24DA-2ADF is powered by an SR626SW battery with an approximate lifespan of three years under normal usage conditions. When battery replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can perform this service quickly and professionally, ensuring your watch continues to operate accurately.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, absolutely. The bracelet features an adjustable clasp and can be professionally sized to fit your wrist comfortably. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing at our Mall of the South boutique at the time of purchase, and our team can remove or add links as needed to achieve the perfect fit.
Q: What is the difference between the case material being resin and the bracelet being stainless steel?
A: The case and bezel of this watch are constructed from durable resin, which keeps the overall weight light at just 45 grams, while the bracelet is made from stainless steel, providing a premium metal aesthetic and longevity. This combination offers both comfort and visual appeal at an accessible price point.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift for both men and women?
A: The MQ-24DA-2ADF features a unisex design with a versatile 38.8mm case diameter that works well for a wide range of wrist sizes. The blue sunray dial and minimalist styling make it suitable for anyone who appreciates clean, functional design, making it an excellent gift choice regardless of gender.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Casio warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co., an authorised Casio retailer, this watch comes with a full 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty documentation will be provided at the time of purchase.
Q: What makes the sunray dial special compared to a standard dial?
A: The sunray finish on the dial creates a dynamic visual effect that radiates outward from the centre, catching and reflecting light as the watch moves on your wrist. This technique adds depth and sophistication to the dial, creating visual interest and a more premium appearance compared to flat dial finishes.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dents, or fading of finishes on the case or bracelet.
- Battery replacement, even within the warranty period, is not covered as the battery is considered a consumable component.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, submersion beyond the watch's specified resistance, or failure to properly secure the crown is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modifications will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, the original proof of purchase and warranty card must be presented.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or magnetic fields, which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Clean the case and stainless steel bracelet regularly using a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Do not operate the crown or expose the watch to water during water-related activities, as it is only splash resistant and not suitable for submersion.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified professional when the watch stops or timekeeping becomes irregular. Do not attempt to open the case yourself, as this will void the warranty.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protecting against dust and scratches.
- Avoid impact, dropping, or striking the watch against hard surfaces, as the resin case and mineral crystal can be damaged by heavy impacts.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or the clasp shows signs of wear, visit our service centre for adjustment or repair to prevent accidental loss of the watch.
- Keep the watch away from chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which may damage the resin case or bracelet finish.
- Although the watch is water resistant, it is good practice to wipe it dry after any exposure to moisture to maintain the longevity of the case and bracelet.
