FAQ
Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Obaku V298GDGWMG is designed for daily wear. Its slim profile, comfortable mesh bracelet, and scratch-resistant mineral crystal make it an excellent choice for both professional and casual settings. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, and the magnetic clasp allows for quick adjustments throughout the day.
What does 3 ATM water resistance mean?
3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance means this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and handwashing, but it should not be worn while swimming, showering, or during any water sports. It is not suitable for submersion in water. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance.
How do I adjust the mesh bracelet?
The Obaku V298GDGWMG features a magnetic clasp that allows for easy micro-adjustments without tools. Simply slide the clasp along the mesh bracelet to find your perfect fit. The magnetic mechanism securely holds the clasp in place while allowing for quick on-off convenience and comfort adjustments throughout the day.
How often will the battery need replacing?
Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years depending on usage. When your watch requires a battery replacement, we recommend visiting Cassims & Co. where our experienced technicians can replace the battery and check the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Does this watch come with a warranty?
Yes, this watch carries a 2-year international Obaku warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind with your investment in Danish design excellence.
Is the gold finish durable?
The gold-tone finish on this Obaku watch is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or IP (Ion Plating) technology, which creates a durable coating resistant to everyday wear. With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, the finish will maintain its lustre for many years.
Can this watch be worn with formal attire?
Absolutely. The Obaku V298GDGWMG's minimalist Scandinavian design, slim profile, and refined gold-tone finish make it an excellent dress watch. The white dial provides exceptional legibility while maintaining elegant restraint, and the mesh bracelet adds a sophisticated texture that complements formal wear beautifully.

- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn, preferably in its original box or a watch case.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power to prevent battery leakage.

- Service the watch every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance, including cleaning, lubrication, and seal replacement if necessary.
