Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dust, and perspiration.
- For deeper cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, solvents, or cleaning agents that may damage the gold-tone finish.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as it is water resistant for daily wear only, not designed for immersion.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers (if present) while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Avoid impact, dropping, or knocking the watch against hard surfaces, as this may damage the movement or crystal.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields when not wearing it.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker approximately every three years to prevent leakage and movement damage.
- If the watch stops working before the expected battery life, visit an authorised Casio service centre promptly.
- Periodically inspect the bracelet links and clasp for signs of wear or loosening, and have them tightened if necessary.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, as this may affect timekeeping accuracy and internal components.
- The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof — avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or materials harder than glass.
