Care Guide
- Battery Replacement: Replace the battery every 2-3 years with a qualified watchmaker. Cassims & Co. offers professional battery replacement services to maintain water integrity and movement performance.
- Avoid Water Exposure: This fashion watch is not designed for water immersion. Remove before hand-washing, showering, swimming, or any water-based activities to prevent movement damage.
