This analog-digital combination watch embodies Casio's commitment to accessible innovation, offering world time capability across 30 cities, a 10-year battery lifespan, and 100-metre water resistance — all housed in a robust resin case and strap designed to withstand the demands of active lifestyles. The textured black dial features bold luminous markers and hands, complemented by a crisp digital display that provides instant access to stopwatch, countdown timer, and three daily alarms.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Casio retailer, ensuring every HDC-700-3A3VDF you purchase from us is backed by Casio's official 1-year international warranty and our commitment to after-sales excellence. The HDC-700 series represents exceptional value in the quartz combination watch segment, delivering features typically reserved for higher price points — including a 16-digit telememo, full auto-calendar, and that impressive decade-long battery life courtesy of the reliable CR2025 power cell.
The 48.8mm case diameter and 16.6mm thickness strike an ideal balance between wrist presence and comfort, while the olive green colourway has become a contemporary classic in military-inspired timepiece design. The integrated resin strap flows seamlessly from the case architecture, creating a cohesive profile that wears lighter than its 49-gram weight suggests.

FAQ
Q: What is the battery life of the HDC-700-3A3VDF?
A: The HDC-700-3A3VDF features an exceptional 10-year battery life on a CR2025 cell, making it one of the most maintenance-free watches in its category. When battery replacement is eventually required, our authorised service centre can perform this quickly and affordably.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, the 100-metre water resistance rating makes the HDC-700-3A3VDF suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, please avoid operating the buttons while underwater and ensure the watch is not exposed to hot water, steam, or strong water pressure from activities like diving.
Q: How does the World Time function work?
A: The HDC-700-3A3VDF stores time data for 30 major cities worldwide. Press the mode button to access World Time mode, then use the adjust buttons to cycle through different time zones. This is particularly useful for travellers or anyone coordinating across international time zones.
Q: Can I replace the resin strap if it wears out?
A: Yes, the resin strap is replaceable. As an authorised Casio retailer, Cassim & Co. can order genuine replacement straps and fit them professionally. Resin straps are designed for durability but can be replaced if damaged or if you prefer a fresh look.
Q: What does the Telememo function do?
A: The Telememo function allows you to store up to 16 digits of information — typically phone numbers, important codes, or reference numbers. Access this feature through the mode button sequence, making it a practical tool for quick reference without reaching for your phone.
Q: Is the HDC-700 similar to a G-Shock?
A: While the HDC-700 shares some design DNA with G-Shock models — particularly the rugged resin construction and military-inspired aesthetic — it sits in Casio's Standard collection rather than the G-Shock line. It offers excellent durability and functionality at a more accessible price point, though it lacks the shock-resistance certification of true G-Shock models.
Q: How do I use the LED illuminator?
A: Press the Light button (typically located on the upper left side) to activate the LED front light, which illuminates both the analog dial and digital display for approximately 1.5 seconds. This auto-illumination system provides excellent visibility in low-light conditions.

Care Guide
- Clean the resin case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils that can degrade the material over time
- Avoid exposure to solvents, chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics which can discolour or damage the resin components
- Do not operate the buttons while the watch is wet or underwater, as this can compromise water resistance
- After contact with saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause resin discolouration or degradation
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from magnetic fields and electronic devices
- If the watch will not be worn for extended periods, ensure it is stored clean and dry to prevent moisture build-up
- Have the water resistance checked annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, especially after battery replacement
- Replace the battery promptly when the low battery indicator appears to prevent potential leakage damage
- Avoid impact with hard surfaces, though the resin construction provides good shock absorption
