FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The MQ24L-7BUDF is listed as water resistant, which typically means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, Casio does not specify a depth rating for this model, so we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or prolonged water exposure to preserve the seal integrity and prevent moisture ingress.
Q: How long does the battery last in this Casio quartz watch?
A: Casio quartz movements typically deliver between 3 to 7 years of battery life depending on usage patterns. The simple three-hand design of the MQ24L means minimal power drain, so you can expect several years before requiring a battery replacement, which we can perform at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Will this 34.9mm case size fit my wrist comfortably?
A: The 34.9mm case diameter positions this watch in the compact-to-mid-size category, making it an excellent choice for smaller wrists or those who prefer understated proportions. The lightweight resin construction (20g total weight) and flexible strap ensure exceptional comfort for all-day wear. Visit our boutique for a personal fitting.
Q: What is the difference between acrylic and sapphire crystal?
A: The MQ24L features an acrylic crystal, which is lightweight, shatter-resistant, and can be polished if scratched. Sapphire crystal, found on higher-end timepieces, offers superior scratch resistance but at greater cost and weight. For a daily-wear watch at this price point, acrylic is the practical and traditional choice.
Q: Can the resin strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Absolutely. Casio resin straps are designed for long-term durability, but should you require a replacement after years of wear, we can source genuine Casio replacement straps. Our watch servicing team can also fit the new strap for you to ensure proper installation and comfort.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift for a young person or student?
A: The Casio MQ24L is an ideal first watch. Its legible dial, reliable quartz movement, lightweight construction, and affordable price point make it perfect for students, young professionals, or anyone seeking a no-fuss timepiece. The classic design transcends trends and teaches the fundamentals of analogue time-reading.
Q: Does Cassim & Co. provide after-sales support for this Casio watch?
A: Yes, as an authorised Casio retailer, we provide comprehensive after-sales support including battery replacements, strap adjustments, and warranty claims processing. Your purchase includes a 1-year international Casio warranty, and our team is available to assist with any servicing needs throughout the life of your watch.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase when bought 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, strap degradation, or crystal scuffs resulting from daily use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as battery depletion is a consumable aspect of quartz watch ownership.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, crown operation while wet, or exceeding the stated water resistance is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modifications void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, retain your original proof of purchase and contact Cassim & Co. for authorised warranty processing.
- Cassim & Co. provides after-sales support including battery changes, strap replacements, and general servicing beyond the warranty period at competitive rates.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and resin strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can degrade the material over time.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as UV radiation can cause resin discolouration and brittleness.
- Do not expose the watch to solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, or harsh chemicals, which may damage the resin case and strap finish.
- Although water resistant, avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet, and ensure the crown is pushed fully in to maintain the seal.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from magnetic fields when not in use to preserve quartz movement accuracy.
- If the acrylic crystal becomes scratched, it can be polished with a plastic polish compound, or visit our servicing team for professional restoration.
- Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops to prevent potential leakage that could damage the movement.
- Avoid impacts or dropping the watch, as the lightweight resin construction, while durable, can crack under severe shock.
