The Casio B650WB-1BDF represents the perfect synthesis of retro-digital aesthetics and modern functionality. Housed in a distinctive black resin case with integrated stainless steel bracelet, this timepiece reimagines the iconic square silhouette that defined an era of digital watchmaking. The crisp digital display delivers instant legibility with large segmented digits, while the blacked-out treatment across case, bracelet, and dial creates a cohesive monochromatic statement on the wrist.
Functionality extends well beyond simple timekeeping. The integrated 1/100-second stopwatch provides precision chronograph capability measuring up to 59 minutes 59.99 seconds, whilst the LED backlight illuminator ensures dial visibility in low-light conditions. A daily alarm and hourly time signal add practical utility for everyday wear. Water resistance to 50 metres protects against splashes and brief immersion, making this a versatile companion for daily activities.

Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery depletion or replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to case/bracelet/glass, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from accidents or improper handling, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage from extreme conditions.
- To maintain warranty validity, retain your original proof of purchase and ensure any servicing is performed by authorised Casio service centres.
- Water resistance is not permanently guaranteed and may deteriorate over time; gaskets and seals should be inspected during battery replacement.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and accumulated dust.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and strong magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the buttons whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance seals.
- Have water resistance tested annually if the watch is regularly exposed to moisture, particularly after battery replacement.
- Store in a cool, dry location away from chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics which may degrade resin components.
- If the digital display becomes faint or irregular, this typically indicates battery depletion requiring replacement by a qualified technician.
- The stainless steel bracelet may be cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring thorough drying afterwards.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as digital modules contain precision electronic components sensitive to shock.
