FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The Swatch Acid Drop has a water resistance rating of 30 metres (3 ATM), which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, such as hand washing or rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports, as the water resistance is designed primarily for everyday contact with water rather than submersion.
Q: What type of battery does the SUSL400 use and how long does it last?
A: This watch uses a standard quartz battery. Typical battery life for Swatch quartz chronograph models ranges from 2 to 4 years depending on usage of the chronograph function. When replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. where our watchmakers can replace the battery and reseal the case to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 20mm silicone strap can be trimmed to fit your wrist perfectly, and the plastic pin buckle allows for multiple size adjustments. The strap is specific to this Swatch model due to its integrated lug design. If you need assistance with sizing or strap adjustments, our team at Mall of the South can help ensure a perfect fit.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The yellow pushers on the right side of the case control the chronograph. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets it to zero. The chronograph sub-dials on the turquoise dial display elapsed time measurements. Consult your Swatch manual or visit our boutique for a demonstration.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Swatch retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international Swatch warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring peace of mind with your investment.
Q: What makes the Acid Drop a good choice for casual everyday wear?
A: The SUSL400 combines vibrant design with practical durability. The lightweight plastic case and flexible silicone strap make it extremely comfortable for all-day wear, while the bold turquoise and yellow colour scheme adds personality to any casual outfit. The chronograph function adds utility, and the quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping without the need for daily winding.
Q: Can I purchase this watch online with delivery across South Africa?
A: Absolutely. Cassim & Co. offers secure nationwide delivery across South Africa. Your Swatch Acid Drop will be shipped fully insured and carefully packaged. Alternatively, you can reserve the watch online and collect it from our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our team can assist with sizing and answer any questions in person.
Warranty
- This Swatch watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Swatch retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, strap wear, or crystal damage from daily use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, operating pushers underwater, or failure to maintain water resistance seals is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, drops, or damage from improper handling are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
- Unauthorised repairs, modifications, or battery replacements performed outside authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, please present your original proof of purchase from Cassim & Co. along with the watch.

Care Guide
- Clean the plastic case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils that accumulate during daily wear.
- For deeper cleaning of the silicone strap, use mild soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, as these can discolour or damage the plastic case and strap.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- If the watch comes into contact with salt water, rinse it immediately with fresh water and dry thoroughly to prevent mineral deposits.
- Store your Swatch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it, ideally in its original box or a dedicated watch case.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of low power, as a depleted battery left in the watch can leak and cause damage to the movement.
- Bring your watch to Cassim & Co. for professional battery replacement to ensure proper resealing and maintenance of water resistance.
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as the plastic crystal and case, while durable, can scratch or crack under significant force.
- The plastic crystal may develop minor surface scratches over time with normal wear; these can sometimes be polished out by a professional watchmaker.
