FAQ
Q: Is the Festina Boyfriend F20606/1 suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. With its 38.1mm case size, durable stainless steel construction, and 50-metre water resistance, this chronograph is designed for daily wear. The hardened mineral crystal provides excellent scratch resistance, while the quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping without the need for regular winding. The crystal bezel adds glamour while remaining practical for everyday styling.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph functions on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated using the pushers on the side of the case. The top pusher typically starts and stops the chronograph timing function, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials on the mother-of-pearl dial display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours. Our team at Cassim & Co. will be happy to demonstrate the full functionality when you visit our boutique.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist perfectly. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase at our Mall of the South location. Links can be added or removed by our experienced technicians to ensure optimal comfort. We also provide ongoing bracelet adjustment services should your requirements change.
Q: What is the water resistance rating, and can I swim with this watch?
A: The Festina Boyfriend F20606/1 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), which means it can withstand splashes, brief immersion in water, and rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: A standard quartz chronograph battery typically lasts between 2-3 years, depending on how frequently you use the chronograph function. When replacement is needed, our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery using genuine components while ensuring the watch is properly resealed to maintain its water resistance rating.
Q: Does this watch come with an official Festina warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Festina retailer, every F20606/1 purchased from Cassim & Co. comes with a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship and is valid worldwide when the watch is purchased from an authorised dealer. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.
Q: What makes the Boyfriend collection special?
A: The Festina Boyfriend collection takes inspiration from the trend of women wearing oversized men's watches, but with a refined feminine touch. These timepieces feature larger case sizes than traditional women's watches (typically 36-40mm) while incorporating elegant design elements like crystal bezels, mother-of-pearl dials, and rose gold accents. The result is a bold yet sophisticated aesthetic that has made the Boyfriend collection one of Festina's most popular lines.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, oils, and daily residue that can dull the finish over time.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 50 metres, avoid operating the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet or submerged. Never wear this watch in the shower, sauna, or hot tub, as temperature changes can affect seals.
- Crystal Protection: Although the mineral crystal is hardened for scratch resistance, avoid impact with hard surfaces and remove the watch during activities that might cause knocks or abrasions.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically using warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt from between the links. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep the watch away from chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products, as these can damage seals, discolour the dial, or cloud the crystal.
- Storage: When not wearing your Festina chronograph, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in its original box or a watch case to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
- Magnetic Fields: Although quartz movements are less susceptible than mechanical movements, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins jumping in intervals, bring it to Cassim & Co. for professional battery replacement. Never attempt to open the case yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your Festina chronograph inspected every 2-3 years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and all functions operate correctly.
- Crystal Bezel Care: The crystal-set bezel requires gentle care. Avoid knocking the bezel against hard surfaces, and have any loose stones inspected immediately by our team to prevent loss.
