Featuring Casio's renowned quartz accuracy and an impressive 10-year battery life, this timepiece is built to accompany you through a decade of global exploration without the constant need for battery replacements. The 45mm resin case and bezel construction, finished in navy blue with silver accents, delivers exceptional impact resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile at just 40 grams on the wrist.
World Time functionality sits at the heart of this watch's utility, providing instant access to 31 time zones across 48 cities, making it an indispensable tool for frequent travellers and professionals coordinating across continents.

Water resistance to 100 metres (10 bar) qualifies the AE-1000W for swimming and snorkelling activities, though it is not intended for scuba diving.

- Battery replacement, even within the warranty period, is considered routine maintenance and is excluded from warranty coverage.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pool water to prevent corrosion and mineral buildup on the resin case and strap.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below -10°C or above 60°C), as this may affect battery performance and resin integrity.
- Clean the resin strap periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap solution to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. Dry thoroughly before wearing.
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged underwater, as this may compromise the water seal.
- Avoid contact with solvents, chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can degrade the resin material and cause discolouration.
- When the display becomes dim or functions operate sluggishly, replace the battery promptly to prevent potential leakage damage to the module.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself; battery replacement and internal servicing should only be performed by qualified technicians to maintain water resistance integrity.
- The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof; avoid impact with hard surfaces and abrasive materials.
