Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position.
- Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position to start timekeeping.
Note: When setting the minute hand, advance it four or five minutes past the desired time, then back it up to the correct time. This helps ensure more precise time synchronization.
2. Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise to set the date. Ensure the date changes correctly for the current day.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position.
Important: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Adjusting the Band
The stainless steel band can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This procedure requires specialized tools and expertise. It is recommended to have the band adjusted by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the watch or injury.

Operating the Watch
Basic Timekeeping
Once the time and date are set, the watch will continuously display the current time and date. The watch operates on a precise Japan Quartz Movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping with an accuracy of approximately +/-20 seconds per month.
Date Display
The date display automatically advances once every 24 hours. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, you may need to manually adjust the date as described in the "Setting the Date" section.
Maintenance
Water Resistance (50M)
Your Casio MTP-1302D-7A2VDF watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 BAR). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and temperature changes can compromise the seals.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and wipe it dry.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one product-specific battery (included). When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the timekeeping accuracy may decrease. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
Cleaning and Care
- Wipe the watch case and band periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
- For stainless steel bands, a soft brush and mild soapy water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Prevent contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, band, or seals.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
