FAQ
Q: What is the battery life of the EFV-C100D-1AVEF?
A: This Edifice model features an impressive 10-year battery life, which is exceptional for a multifunction ana-digi quartz watch. This extended longevity means you can wear and enjoy your timepiece for years without the need for battery replacement, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring uninterrupted performance.
Q: Can I swim and shower with this watch?
A: Yes, the EFV-C100D-1AVEF is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and showering. However, we recommend avoiding hot showers or saunas, as extreme temperature changes can affect the seals. The watch is not suitable for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports.
Q: How does the world time function work?
A: The world time function displays the current time in any of 48 major cities across 31 time zones via the digital sub-display. You can easily scroll through cities using the mode buttons, making it an invaluable tool for international travellers or anyone who maintains contacts across multiple time zones. The function automatically accounts for daylight saving time changes.
Q: What is the Telememo 30 feature?
A: Telememo 30 allows you to store up to 30 contact entries directly in the watch's memory. Each entry can contain a name and telephone number, providing quick access to frequently called numbers without needing to reach for your phone. This feature is particularly useful during meetings, workouts, or any situation where your mobile device isn't readily accessible.
Q: How long does the luminous coating glow?
A: The Neo-display luminous coating on the hands and hour markers provides extended luminosity after exposure to light. After just a few minutes in bright light or sunlight, the coating will glow brightly for several hours in complete darkness, gradually diminishing over time. This is superior to standard luminous paints and requires no battery or external power source.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable, and can links be removed?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet is fully adjustable. Links can be removed to achieve the perfect fit for your wrist. Our team at Cassims & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with every purchase, ensuring your watch fits comfortably from the moment you leave our boutique. Additional adjustments can be made at any time.
Q: Does this watch come with a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Casio retailer, the EFV-C100D-1AVEF comes with a 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is valid worldwide and provides peace of mind regarding the quality and reliability of your timepiece.
Warranty
- This Casio Edifice watch carries a 1-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty specifically excludes: normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, bracelet, or crystal, battery replacement (which is a consumable item), damage resulting from accidents, misuse, or improper handling, water damage caused by operating pushers or crown underwater or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, and damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- To maintain warranty validity, any repairs or servicing must be carried out by authorised Casio service centres using genuine Casio parts.
- Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for all warranty claims.
- The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser.
- Cassims & Co., as an authorised Casio retailer, will facilitate all warranty claims and provide guidance on the warranty process, ensuring you receive the full support entitled under Casio's international warranty programme.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals to prevent corrosion and maintain the finish of the stainless steel case and bracelet.
- Dry the watch thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth after water exposure, paying particular attention to areas around the pushers and crown where moisture can accumulate.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts, as these can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement and damage internal components.
- Do not operate the pushers or crown whilst underwater, as this can compromise the water-resistant seals and allow moisture to enter the case.
- Clean the bracelet periodically using a soft brush with mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt, perspiration, and oils that can affect the metal's appearance over time.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the dial colour and prevent degradation of the rubber gaskets.
- Although the battery life is rated at 10 years, have the watch inspected if you notice any dimming of the digital display or loss of functionality, as early battery replacement prevents potential leakage damage.
- Avoid exposure to solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these chemicals can damage the case seals, deteriorate the bracelet finish, and affect water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly swim or engage in water activities, as the gaskets naturally degrade over time and may require replacement.
- If the watch requires any service or repair, always use an authorised Casio service centre to maintain warranty coverage and ensure genuine parts are used.
