FAQ
Q: How does the Bluetooth music control work on the GBA-400-1A?
A: The G'MIX Bluetooth connectivity pairs with your smartphone via the dedicated Casio app (compatible with iOS and Android). Once connected, you can control music playback directly from the watch using the dedicated pushers—play, pause, skip forward, skip back, and adjust volume—without touching your phone. The Bluetooth connection range is approximately 2 metres, and the watch will display connection status on the LCD.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Yes, with 200-metre water resistance, the GBA-400-1A is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, it is not rated for professional diving or high-impact water activities like jet skiing. The Bluetooth function will not operate underwater, but all timekeeping and analogue functions remain fully operational.
Q: How long does the battery last, and can I replace it at Cassim & Co.?
A: The SR927W battery typically provides 2-3 years of operation under normal use conditions (Bluetooth usage affects battery life). Yes, our watch servicing team at Mall of the South can replace the battery using genuine Casio components, ensuring your G-Shock continues to perform to factory standards.
Q: What is the difference between analogue-digital and fully digital G-Shocks?
A: The GBA-400-1A features both analogue hands and a digital LCD display, offering the best of both worlds—traditional timekeeping aesthetics with digital functionality. The analogue hands provide hour, minute, and second indication, while the LCD displays additional data like date, alarms, and Bluetooth status. This combination is ideal for those who prefer the classic look of hands with the versatility of digital features.
Q: Can I connect the watch to multiple smartphones?
A: The GBA-400-1A can store pairing information for one smartphone at a time. If you wish to connect to a different device, you will need to unpair the current phone and pair the new one through the Casio app. The pairing process is straightforward and takes only a few seconds.
Q: Does this model have an auto-sync time function via Bluetooth?
A: No, the GBA-400-1A focuses on music control functionality via Bluetooth. Time adjustments are made manually using the watch's pushers. However, the quartz movement maintains excellent accuracy (typical variation ±15 seconds per month), and the auto calendar requires no date adjustment until the year 2099.
Q: What warranty coverage comes with this G-Shock?
A: The GBA-400-1A includes a 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from authorised retailers like Cassim & Co. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup on the resin case and band.
- Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth, paying attention to the area around the pushers and case back.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below -10°C or above 60°C) for prolonged periods, as this may affect battery performance and resin integrity.
- Do not operate the pushers while the watch is wet or underwater, as this may compromise water resistance seals.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, MRI machines), which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- If the resin band becomes stiff or discoloured over time, consult our service team for professional cleaning or replacement with genuine Casio components.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre (such as Cassim & Co.) when the LCD display dims or the watch stops functioning, ensuring water resistance is tested and seals are replaced during the service.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
- Avoid contact with solvents, oils, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which may degrade the resin material.
- While the watch is shock-resistant, avoid deliberate impacts or dropping from height, and remove before contact sports where extreme force may occur.
