FAQ
Q: How does the Bluetooth smartphone link function work?

Once paired, the watch can automatically adjust its time based on your phone's network time, access world time data for over 300 cities, and allow you to set alarms and timers directly from your device. The connection is energy-efficient and activates automatically when needed.
Q: What does the 1/1000-second stopwatch measure?
A: The chronograph function on this Edifice can measure elapsed time with precision down to 1/1000th of a second, making it suitable for professional timing applications, sports training, and competitive events. The red sub-dial at 9 o'clock displays the chronograph function, whilst the digital display shows precise timing data.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100-metre (10 ATM) water resistance, the ECB-40D-1ADF is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. However, it is not rated for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and never operate pushers or crown whilst underwater.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: Casio quartz movements are engineered for extended battery life, typically lasting approximately 2 years under normal use conditions. Battery life may vary depending on usage of Bluetooth connectivity, LED illumination frequency, and alarm/timer functions. Battery replacement should be performed by an authorised service centre to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for precise sizing adjustment. Our team at Cassim & Co. can professionally size the bracelet to your wrist at the time of purchase at our Mall of the South boutique, or you can visit us any time for complimentary sizing adjustments.
Q: What is the Auto Double LED light feature?
A: This innovative illumination system simultaneously lights both the analogue dial and the digital display when activated, ensuring complete readability in low-light or dark conditions. The Super Illuminator technology provides bright, long-lasting illumination with a single button press, and can be set to activate automatically with a wrist turn.
Q: Does this watch require an internet connection to function?
A: No, the ECB-40D-1ADF functions as a complete quartz chronograph watch without any smartphone connection. Bluetooth connectivity is an optional enhancement that provides automatic time synchronisation and additional convenience features, but all core timekeeping, chronograph, alarm, and timer functions operate independently.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and environmental residue.
- For deeper cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the watch during cleaning.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorinated water, or cosmetics, then dry completely.
- Never operate the crown or pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.

- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in its original box or a dedicated watch case.
