FAQ
Q: Is the Festina Chrono Bike F20724-4 suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Yes, with a water resistance rating of 20 ATM (200 metres), this watch is suitable for recreational diving, swimming, and water sports. However, chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and we recommend having the seals checked annually if you frequently expose the watch to water.
Q: What battery does this quartz chronograph use and how long will it last?
A: The F20724-4 uses a standard quartz battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. Our service centre at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery and pressure-test the watch to maintain its water resistance rating.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be professionally adjusted at our Mall of the South boutique. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with every watch purchase to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: What is the purpose of the rotating bezel on this watch?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel features minute markings and is commonly used for timing events, tracking elapsed time during activities, or calculating dive times. It rotates anti-clockwise only as a safety feature to prevent accidental adjustment that could overestimate remaining air supply during diving.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function on the Chrono Bike?
A: The chronograph features three sub-dials that track elapsed time. The pushers at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock control start/stop and reset functions respectively. Detailed operating instructions are included with your watch, and our specialists can demonstrate the functions in-store.
Q: Is this watch appropriate for formal occasions or is it purely a sports watch?
A: While the Chrono Bike is designed as a sports chronograph, its bold yellow dial and substantial case make it a statement piece best suited to casual and active wear. For formal occasions, you might consider exploring dress watch options in our collection.

A: Yes, as an authorised Festina retailer, all watches sold by Cassims & Co. include the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects. This warranty is only valid when purchased from authorised retailers like ourselves.
