Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, water damage due to misuse, damage from improper handling, or unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- To activate and maintain warranty coverage, retain your original proof of purchase from Cassims & Co.
- Warranty service must be performed by authorised Casio service centres—unauthorised repairs will void the warranty.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to ageing of gaskets; regular maintenance is recommended.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, oils, and fingerprints.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes and solvents.
- Do not operate the digital buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports—30m water resistance is suitable only for splashes and brief immersion.
- If the digital display becomes dim or functions slow down, this indicates the battery needs replacement. Visit our boutique promptly to avoid potential leakage.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Have the battery replaced every 3 years by a professional to maintain optimal performance and prevent corrosion.
- The stainless steel bracelet can be cleaned gently with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush, then dried thoroughly.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as the chrome-plated resin case and mineral crystal can be damaged by sharp blows.
