FAQ
Q: What type of movement does the Festina F20358/4 use?
A: This watch is powered by a Miyota quartz movement, a Japanese-manufactured calibre known for reliability and accuracy. Quartz movements require battery changes approximately every 2-3 years and provide superior timekeeping precision compared to mechanical alternatives.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with a water resistance rating of 10 bar (100 metres), the F20358/4 is suitable for swimming and snorkelling. However, we recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas, and operating the crown whilst underwater to maintain the integrity of the seals.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit my wrist?
A: The 41mm case diameter is considered a versatile mid-size that suits most wrist sizes from 16cm to 20cm. The 10mm thickness ensures the watch sits comfortably under shirt cuffs whilst still maintaining a robust presence. We invite you to visit our Mall of the South boutique for a personalised fitting.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced?
A: Absolutely. The F20358/4 uses a standard lug width, allowing for easy strap changes. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with strap replacements, offering alternative leather options or NATO straps to personalise your timepiece.
Q: What is the purpose of the red seconds hand?
A: The red seconds hand serves both functional and aesthetic purposes—it provides enhanced legibility by contrasting sharply against the black dial, allowing you to quickly verify the watch is running, whilst adding a sporty accent to the overall design.
Q: Does this watch have a screw-down crown?
A: Yes, the F20358/4 features a screw-down crown which enhances the water resistance rating by creating an additional seal when secured. Remember to unscrew the crown counter-clockwise before adjusting the time or date, then screw it back down clockwise after setting.
Q: What warranty coverage comes with this watch?
A: As authorised Festina retailers, we provide the full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover wear items such as batteries, straps, or accidental damage. Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for warranty service.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 2-year international Festina 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, including scratches, strap deterioration, or crystal damage from daily use.
- Battery replacements are not covered under warranty, as batteries are consumable components with a limited lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, including operating the crown whilst underwater or failure to properly secure the screw-down crown, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, modifications, or repairs performed by unauthorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, you must present the original proof of purchase from an authorised Festina retailer along with the warranty card.
- Cassim & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims directly with Festina, ensuring prompt and professional service for our customers.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and leather strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and moisture that can cause premature deterioration.
- Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, perfumes, cosmetics, and solvents which can damage the material and stitching. Remove the watch before showering or swimming if possible.
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured after adjusting the time or date to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or shows diminished performance. Cassim & Co. offers professional battery replacement services.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps.
- Service the watch every 3-5 years to have gaskets checked and replaced if necessary, ensuring continued water resistance.
- Never attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance.
- If the watch has been exposed to saltwater, rinse the case (not strap) with fresh water and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
- Condition the leather strap periodically with appropriate leather care products to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
