FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: This watch is water-resistant, which means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief contact with water during handwashing. However, it is not rated for swimming, showering, or submersion. We recommend removing the watch before any water activities to maintain its longevity and ensure the warranty remains valid.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?
A: The Casio MTP-VD03G is powered by an SR626SW battery with an approximate lifespan of 3 years under normal usage conditions. When replacement is needed, our watch servicing team at Mall of the South can handle this for you quickly and professionally, ensuring the water-resistant seal is properly maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist perfectly. When you purchase from us, we offer complimentary bracelet adjustment at our Mall of the South boutique. If you order online, you can visit us for adjustment or consult our team for guidance on having it adjusted locally.
Q: Is the gold colour plated or will it wear off over time?
A: This watch features a gold-tone finish on stainless steel. While Casio employs durable finishing processes, all plated or coated surfaces can experience some wear with prolonged daily use, particularly in high-contact areas. Proper care, including avoiding harsh chemicals and impacts, will help maintain the finish for years to come.
Q: What is the accuracy of the quartz movement?
A: The Japanese quartz movement in this Casio watch offers an accuracy rating of +/- 20 seconds per month, which translates to approximately +/- 5 seconds per week. This is standard for quality quartz movements and ensures you'll rarely need to adjust the time.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, this watch carries a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but does not cover battery replacement, normal wear and tear, or damage from misuse.
Q: What makes the dial pattern special?
A: The blue dial features an intricate textured pattern that creates visual depth and interest. This guilloche-inspired texture catches light from different angles, giving the watch a more sophisticated appearance than a standard flat dial while maintaining excellent legibility of the time.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impacts, knocks, and contact with hard surfaces that could scratch the case, crystal, or bracelet.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant, remove the watch before swimming, showering, or exposure to hot water, steam, or prolonged submersion.
- Chemical Protection: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products that can damage the finish and seals.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields.
- Bracelet Care: Clean between bracelet links periodically with a soft brush to remove accumulated dirt and skin oils that can dull the finish.
- Crown Operation: Ensure the crown is pushed in fully after setting the time or date to maintain water resistance.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity. Visit our servicing team at Mall of the South when battery replacement is needed.
- Regular Service: While quartz watches require less maintenance than mechanical movements, we recommend a professional inspection every 3-4 years to check seals and ensure optimal performance.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid placing the watch near strong magnets, speakers, or electronic devices that could temporarily affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
