FAQ
Q: What is the water resistance rating of the Festina F20560/4?
A: This watch features 10 ATM (100 metres) water resistance, making it suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. It is not suitable for diving or high-impact water sports.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via two pushers on the right side of the case. The upper pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the lower pusher resets it to zero. The three sub-dials on the green dial measure elapsed time, with the tachymeter bezel allowing speed calculations.
Q: What is the lug width for replacement straps?
A: The lug width is 22mm, allowing you to fit aftermarket straps if you wish to customise your watch. The original stainless steel bracelet tapers to 20mm at the clasp for optimal wrist comfort.
Q: How often does the quartz battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph use. We recommend having your battery replaced by our authorised service team at Cassims & Co. to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: While primarily a sports chronograph, the Festina F20560/4's bold green dial and 45mm case make it better suited to casual and smart-casual wear. The striking colour and sporty bezel design lend themselves to contemporary, relaxed styling rather than traditional black-tie events.
Q: Does the watch come with a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Festina retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international Festina warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. Our expert team at our Mall of the South boutique offers complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase to ensure a perfect fit. Additional adjustments can be made at any time.

- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Valid Purchase: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Festina retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.

- What Is Not Covered: Normal wear and tear including scratches, dings, or finish deterioration; battery replacement; damage caused by accidents, improper use, or unauthorised modifications; water damage resulting from failure to ensure crown is properly secured or from exceeding stated water resistance; damage from exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or magnetic fields.
- Strap and Bracelet: Metal bracelets are covered for manufacturing defects but not for normal wear such as stretch, scratches, or finish wear over time.
- Service Requirements: Any servicing or repairs must be carried out by authorised Festina service centres or authorised retailers like Cassims & Co. to maintain warranty validity.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove skin oils, sweat, and environmental residue that can dull the finish over time.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 10 ATM, always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to water. Avoid operating the crown or chronograph pushers when wet, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt buildup between links. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep your watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and other chemicals that may damage seals, coatings, or the mineral crystal.
- Magnetic Fields: While quartz movements are less susceptible than mechanical movements, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, laptops, and magnetic clasps.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Regular Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years, especially when replacing the battery. Our service team will test water resistance, clean internal components, and ensure optimal performance.
- Impact Protection: Avoid exposing your watch to severe shocks or impacts. While durable, mineral crystal can scratch or crack under hard contact with hard surfaces.
- Chronograph Use: Avoid leaving the chronograph running continuously, as this can drain the battery more quickly. Reset the chronograph to the zero position when not in use to preserve battery life.
