FAQ
Q: What makes this a 30th Anniversary edition?
A: This DW-6900TR-1DR celebrates 30 years of the iconic DW-6900 series with special anniversary branding and updated bio-based resin construction, representing Casio's evolution towards more sustainable materials whilst maintaining the legendary toughness and functionality that made the 6900 series a G-Shock icon.
Q: What is bio-based resin and how does it differ from standard resin?
A: Bio-based resin is derived from renewable plant sources rather than petroleum-based materials, representing Casio's commitment to environmental sustainability. It delivers the same shock resistance, durability, and comfort as traditional G-Shock resin whilst reducing environmental impact. You'll experience no compromise in performance or longevity.
Q: Can I swim and dive with this watch?
A: Absolutely. With 200-metre water resistance (20 ATM), this G-Shock is suitable for recreational diving, swimming, snorkelling, and all water sports. The shock-resistant construction also protects the module from impacts during aquatic activities. Rinse with fresh water after ocean or pool use to maintain optimal condition.
Q: How long will the battery last and can it be replaced?
A: The CR2016 battery provides approximately 5 years of operation under normal use. When replacement is required, our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace it professionally, or any qualified watch technician can perform this service. We recommend professional replacement to ensure water resistance is maintained.
Q: What does the illuminator function do?
A: The illuminator is an electro-luminescent backlight that illuminates the entire digital display when activated, ensuring complete readability in low-light or dark conditions. Simply press the designated button to activate the backlight, which remains lit for approximately 1.5 seconds.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, the DW-6900TR-1DR excels as an everyday watch. At 67 grams, it's lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. The bio-based resin strap adjusts to fit wrists from 145mm to 205mm, the shock-resistant construction handles daily knocks and bumps, and the 5-year battery life means minimal maintenance. It's equally at home in the boardroom, gym, or outdoors.
Q: What is the flash alert feature?
A: The flash alert provides a visual notification by flashing the display backlight when alarms sound or hourly time signals activate. This is particularly useful in noisy environments where audible alerts might be missed, or in quiet settings where you prefer silent notifications.
Warranty
- This Casio G-Shock DW-6900TR-1DR is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase.

- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, strap wear, or crystal abrasions.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are consumable components with an expected lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating buttons underwater or failure to properly secure the crown, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts beyond normal shock resistance specifications, and damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, present your original proof of purchase and contact Cassim & Co. for authorised service arrangements.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup on the resin case and strap.
- Clean the case and strap periodically with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 60°C) for extended periods, as this may affect battery performance and resin integrity.
- Do not operate the buttons whilst underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the resin colour and prevent premature ageing.
- The bio-based resin strap may develop a natural patina over time; this is normal and does not affect functionality.
- If the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery likely requires replacement. Bring the watch to Cassim & Co. for professional battery service.
- Avoid contact with solvents, chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these may damage the resin finish or affect water resistance seals.
- After battery replacement, ensure a qualified technician tests water resistance to maintain the 200-metre rating.
- The shock-resistant construction is designed for impacts during normal wear, but avoid deliberately striking the watch against hard surfaces.
