FAQ
Q: What is the vibration alarm feature on this Casio watch?
A: The vibration alarm provides a discreet, silent alert through physical vibration rather than an audible tone. This is particularly useful in meetings, quiet environments, or when you prefer not to disturb others. The alarm can be set as a daily reminder or wake-up alert.
Q: How long does the 10-year battery really last?
A: Under normal usage conditions, the CR2032 battery powering the W-738H-3AV is designed to last approximately 10 years. Actual battery life may vary depending on usage frequency of the illuminator, alarm, and stopwatch functions. When replacement is eventually needed, our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with battery replacement services.

A: Yes. With 100-metre water resistance (10 bar), the W-738H-3AV is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. It should not be used for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Always ensure the crown and buttons are not operated while the watch is submerged or wet.

A: The integrated stopwatch measures to 1/100th of a second with a maximum capacity of 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.99 seconds. It offers elapsed time, split time, and 1st-2nd place timing modes, making it versatile for athletic training and time tracking applications.

Care Guide
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the case and resin strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and moisture. Avoid using solvents, detergents, or chemical cleaners that may degrade the resin material.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Although water-resistant to 100 metres, avoid operating pushers or buttons while the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pool water, then dry thoroughly.
- Strap Care: Resin straps can become brittle or discoloured with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals. Store your watch away from direct heat sources and UV light when not in use.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or unresponsive, the battery requires replacement. We recommend having this performed by an authorised service centre to maintain water resistance integrity and avoid damage to the module.
- Storage: Store your Casio watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. If not worn for extended periods, ensure the watch is clean and dry before storage.
- Impact Avoidance: While the resin construction offers good shock resistance, avoid subjecting the watch to severe impacts, drops, or knocks that may damage the module or crystal.
- Service Intervals: For optimal performance, have your watch inspected every few years, particularly if you notice any irregularities in timekeeping or function operation.
