Care Guide
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including solvents, detergents, and perfumes, as these may damage the resin case and strap.
- Clean the watch regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. Do not use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners on the resin components.
- Although water-resistant, do not operate the crown while the watch is wet, and ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays may cause the resin material to discolour or become brittle over time.
- If the watch becomes wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent moisture from affecting the movement or dial.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving it in humid environments or near heat sources.
- Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of weakening timekeeping. Leaving a depleted battery in the watch may cause leakage and damage the movement.
- For battery replacement, strap adjustments, or any maintenance needs, visit Cassim & Co. or an authorised CASIO service centre to ensure proper care and preserve your warranty.
