FAQ
Q: What type of movement does the Casio MTP-VT01G-1B use?
A: This watch is powered by a precision Japan quartz movement manufactured by Casio, offering an accuracy of ±20 seconds per month. Quartz movements are battery-powered and require minimal maintenance compared to mechanical calibres, making them ideal for everyday reliability.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The MTP-VT01G-1B is water-resistant, which protects against splashes, handwashing, and light rain. However, it is not rated for swimming, showering, or submersion. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities to preserve its longevity and protect the movement.
Q: How often will the battery need replacement?
A: Casio quartz batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage patterns. When replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery using genuine components while checking the case seals to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be adjusted to fit your wrist perfectly. Our team at our Mall of the South boutique offers complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
Q: What is the case size and is it suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The case measures 40mm in diameter with a slim 8.2mm profile, making it a versatile size that suits most wrist sizes including smaller wrists. The 46mm lug-to-lug measurement ensures the watch sits comfortably without overhanging, while the lightweight 88g construction prevents wrist fatigue.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Casio retailer, Cassims & Co. provides this watch with a 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty is valid from the date of purchase and covers materials and workmanship when purchased from authorised dealers.
Q: Is the gold colour plated or solid gold?
A: The case and bracelet feature a gold-tone finish applied to stainless steel. This is not solid gold but rather a durable gold-coloured coating over stainless steel, offering the aesthetic appeal of gold at an accessible price point while maintaining excellent durability for daily wear.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, oils, and dirt that can accumulate throughout the day.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet periodically using warm soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring the watch is not submerged. Rinse carefully and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Water Exposure: Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports. While water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water can compromise seals and damage the quartz movement.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and harsh chemicals that can damage the gold-tone finish and degrade case seals.
- Crown Position: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in to maintain water resistance and protect the movement from dust and moisture ingress.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Magnetic Fields: While quartz movements are less susceptible to magnetism than mechanical calibres, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps.
- Regular Servicing: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker every 2-3 years. During battery replacement, request a seal inspection to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Scratch Prevention: The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Remove the watch during activities that may cause impact or abrasion against hard surfaces.
- Professional Maintenance: For deep cleaning, bracelet adjustment, or any technical concerns, visit our boutique or contact our watch servicing team for expert care using genuine Casio components.
