FAQ
Q: What is the battery life of the GA-700-4ADR?
A: The GA-700-4ADR is powered by a CR2016 battery with an approximate lifespan of 5 years under normal usage conditions. When battery replacement is required, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians can replace it with a genuine Casio battery to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Yes, with 200-metre (20 ATM) water resistance, the GA-700-4ADR is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and surface water sports. It is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is in the normal position and buttons are not operated underwater.
Q: What does the Super Illuminator LED light do?
A: The Super Illuminator is Casio's high-luminosity LED backlight system that illuminates both the analog and digital displays simultaneously, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light or dark conditions. You can select an illumination duration of either 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds to suit your preference.
Q: How many time zones can this watch display?
A: The GA-700-4ADR features world time functionality covering 31 time zones (48 cities + UTC), with daylight saving time on/off capability. This makes it ideal for travellers who need to track multiple time zones simultaneously.
Q: What is shock resistance and why does it matter?
A: Shock resistance is Casio's proprietary construction technique that protects the watch module from impact and vibration through a floating mount system within the case. This technology ensures the GA-700-4ADR can withstand drops, knocks, and rough handling that would damage conventional watches.
Q: Can I adjust the resin strap myself?
A: The resin strap features multiple adjustment holes and a pin buckle clasp that allows for easy size adjustment without tools. However, if you require strap replacement or professional fitting, our watch servicing team at Mall of the South can assist you.
