FAQ
Q: What is the case size of the Festina Boyfriend F20640/1?
A: This watch features a 36.8mm case diameter, which is considered a mid-size that works beautifully for both ladies' and unisex wear. The proportions are elegant without being oversized, making it ideal for slimmer wrists or those who prefer classic sizing.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The F20640/1 has 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, which is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. It is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend avoiding contact with hot water, steam, and submerging the watch.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: The Miyota 2035-h1 quartz movement typically provides 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, our servicing team can install a genuine SR626SW battery while checking seals and water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary sizing when you purchase from our Mall of the South boutique, and our team can also perform adjustments on watches purchased online.
Q: What warranty does this Festina watch carry?
A: This watch includes a 2-year international Festina manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. The warranty does not cover battery replacement, normal wear, or damage from misuse.
Q: Is the gold finish on this watch plated or solid?
A: The case and bracelet feature PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) gold coating over 316L stainless steel. PVD coating is highly durable and scratch-resistant compared to traditional plating methods, maintaining its finish through years of daily wear.
Q: Does this watch have a date complication?
A: No, the F20640/1 features a clean three-hand time-only display without date function. This contributes to the symmetrical, uncluttered dial design and reduces maintenance requirements.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily debris
- Avoid exposure to chemicals including perfumes, solvents, cleaning products, and chlorinated water which may damage the PVD coating
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports—5 ATM resistance is splash-proof only
- Keep away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) which can affect timekeeping accuracy
- Avoid impact and knocks to the mineral crystal and case, particularly the crown and pusher clasp mechanism
- Store in a cool, dry environment when not wearing—a watch box or soft pouch is ideal to prevent scratches
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops—leaving a depleted battery inside can cause leakage and damage
- During battery replacement, request a water resistance test and seal inspection to maintain the 5 ATM rating
- If the watch gains or loses more than several seconds per day, consult a watchmaker for movement regulation
- Polish the bracelet only with appropriate gold-safe polishing cloths to avoid removing the PVD coating
