FAQ
Q: Is the Casio Edifice EFV-650D-3AVUDF suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100-metre water resistance, this watch is suitable for recreational swimming and snorkelling. However, chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and the watch is not suitable for diving or high-impact water sports.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how often will it need replacing?
A: The EFV-650D-3AVUDF uses an SR920SW battery with an approximate life span of 2 years under normal use. Battery replacement services are available at Cassim & Co., and we recommend having the water resistance tested whenever the battery is changed.
Q: Does this watch have a sapphire crystal?
A: Yes, this Edifice model features scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, a premium feature typically found on higher-priced timepieces. This provides superior clarity and durability compared to mineral crystal.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team at Cassim & Co. to ensure a perfect fit. We offer complimentary sizing with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: How accurate is the quartz movement in this Casio Edifice?
A: Casio quartz movements are renowned for their precision, typically accurate to within ±20 seconds per month. This makes the EFV-650D-3AVUDF an exceptionally reliable timekeeper for daily wear.
Q: Does the green dial show fingerprints or scratches easily?
A: The sunray-finished green dial is protected beneath sapphire crystal glass, which is highly scratch-resistant. The dial itself is sealed within the case and will not show fingerprints during normal wear.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions or is it strictly a sports watch?
A: Whilst the EFV-650D-3AVUDF has sports chronograph functionality, its refined green dial and polished stainless steel case make it versatile enough for smart-casual and business-casual settings. The distinctive green dial adds contemporary flair to tailored attire.
Warranty
- This Casio Edifice watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor deterioration of the bracelet finish.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable items with a finite lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown or pushers underwater, or failure to maintain water resistance seals, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To maintain warranty validity, retain your original proof of purchase and ensure any servicing is carried out by authorised Casio service centres.
- As authorised Casio retailers, Cassim & Co. can assist with warranty claims and provide guidance on covered issues versus normal maintenance requirements.
Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine or cosmetics to prevent corrosion and buildup on the case and bracelet.
- Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its polished finish and remove daily residue.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Store your Edifice in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not being worn to preserve the movement and dial colour.
- Have the water resistance tested every two years or whenever the battery is replaced to ensure the gaskets remain effective.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, or impacts that could affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- For deep cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, ensuring the crown is pushed in fully and never submerged for extended periods.
- Should the sapphire crystal become scratched (rare but possible with extreme force), professional polishing or replacement is recommended to maintain water resistance.
