FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: No, the A700WEVG is water resistant for splash resistance only and should not be submerged in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. Water resistance protects the digital module from rain and hand washing only.
Q: How long does the battery last in this watch?
A: Casio quartz digital modules typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal usage conditions. Battery lifespan depends on usage of the LED backlight and alarm functions. When replacement is needed, our servicing team can replace the battery whilst maintaining the water resistance seal.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be sized by removing or adding links. We provide complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase at our Mall of the South boutique, or our servicing team can assist with adjustments at any time.
Q: What is the chronograph measuring capacity?
A: The chronograph function can measure up to 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds with 1/100-second precision. It includes split-time functionality and 1st-2nd place timing modes, making it suitable for timing multiple competitors or split intervals.
Q: Is the gold finish durable or will it wear off?
A: The gold-tone finish is applied to stainless steel using ionisation plating or similar coating techniques. With proper care and avoiding harsh abrasives or chemicals, the finish should remain intact for years. However, as with all plated watches, heavy wear or contact with rough surfaces may eventually cause some wear to high-contact areas.
Q: Does this watch have a backlight for night viewing?
A: Yes, the A700WEVG features an LED backlight that illuminates the entire digital display when activated via the pusher button. This provides excellent visibility in low-light or dark conditions.
Q: Is this an official Casio product with warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Casio retailer, we supply only genuine Casio timepieces. This watch includes a 1-year international Casio manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.
