FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The Clearly New Gent has a water resistance of 3 Bar (30 metres), which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, such as handwashing or light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The 3 Bar rating is designed to protect against everyday moisture exposure only.
Q: Can I see the movement working through the transparent case?
A: Yes, absolutely. The skeletonised dial and transparent polymer case allow you to observe the quartz movement's internal mechanics, including the visible gears and wheels. This transparency is a defining feature of the Swatch Clear collection, offering a unique visual experience that celebrates the artistry of watchmaking.
Q: Is the polymer material durable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, Swatch's high-quality polymer construction is engineered for durability and daily wear. The material is lightweight, scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic, making it comfortable for extended use. The polymer also provides excellent impact resistance, though we recommend avoiding extreme impacts or abrasive surfaces to maintain the pristine transparent finish.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: Swatch quartz movements typically offer a battery life of approximately 2-3 years, depending on usage. When the battery requires replacement, we recommend having this service performed by our qualified watchmakers at Cassim & Co. to ensure proper sealing and continued water resistance.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Swatch retailer, Cassim & Co. provides a 2-year international Swatch warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised dealer, giving you complete peace of mind.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: The integrated polymer strap is designed to fit a wide range of wrist sizes. If adjustment is needed, our specialists at Cassim & Co. can assist with bracelet sizing to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit when you visit our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Clearly New Gent arrives in standard Swatch presentation packaging, making it an ideal gift for anyone who appreciates innovative design, contemporary aesthetics, or Swiss watchmaking heritage. Its transparent design and accessible price point make it a memorable and distinctive present for birthdays, graduations, or special occasions.

- Warranty Validity: The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Swatch retailer. Proof of purchase (receipt or invoice) must be presented for any warranty claims. The warranty is non-transferable.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the transparent polymer case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and surface dust. The transparent material shows marks easily, so regular cleaning will maintain its pristine appearance.
- Cleaning: Clean the watch periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners that may damage the polymer material or compromise the transparent finish.
- Water Exposure: With 3 Bar water resistance, avoid submersion, swimming, showering, or prolonged water contact. Remove the watch before any water-based activities beyond handwashing or light rain exposure.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or shows signs of low battery (erratic timekeeping), have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker at Cassim & Co. Professional battery replacement ensures proper resealing and maintains water resistance integrity.
- Storage: Store your Swatch in its original presentation box or a dedicated watch case when not in use. Keep it away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as UV exposure may affect the polymer material over time. Avoid storage near magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.
- Impact Protection: Although polymer is impact-resistant, avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to severe shocks. Remove the watch during high-impact sports or activities that may cause damage to the case, crystal, or movement.
- Strap Maintenance: The integrated polymer bracelet requires minimal maintenance. Clean it regularly as part of your routine watch care. If you notice any cracks, tears, or structural damage to the strap, contact Cassim & Co. for assessment and potential replacement.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend having your Swatch inspected by our watch specialists every 2-3 years to ensure optimal performance. Regular servicing includes battery checks, water resistance testing, and movement inspection to keep your timepiece functioning perfectly.
