Package Contents

Your package should contain the following item:

• One (1) Casio Watch Band (Part Number: 10390035)

Spring bars and any necessary tools are typically not included with the replacement band and must be acquired separately or reused from your original watch band.

Setup and Installation

Replacing a watch band requires careful handling. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional watch repair service.

Required Tools:

• Spring bar tool or a small, flat-head screwdriver
• Soft cloth or protective mat

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay your watch face down on a soft cloth or protective mat to prevent scratches.
2. Remove the Old Watch Band:
   • Locate the spring bars that secure the current band to the watch lugs.
   • Using a spring bar tool or small screwdriver, carefully compress one end of the spring bar and gently pull the band away from the watch lug.
   • Repeat for the other side of the band and then for the second half of the watch band.
   • Retain the spring bars if they are in good condition, as they may be needed for the new band.
3. Transfer Metal End Pieces/Logo Caps (if applicable): Some Casio watch bands feature metal end pieces or logo caps that are part of the original band and need to be transferred to the new replacement band. Carefully remove these components from the old band using appropriate small tools and attach them to the corresponding positions on the new band. Ensure they are securely fitted.
4. Install the New Watch Band:
   • Insert a spring bar into one end of the new watch band.
   • Place one end of the spring bar into the lug hole on the watch case.
   • Using the spring bar tool, compress the other end of the spring bar and guide it into the opposite lug hole. Ensure both ends of the spring bar are securely seated in the lug holes.
   • Gently tug on the band to confirm it is firmly attached and does not easily detach.
   • Repeat this process for the second half of the watch band.
5. Secure the Clasp: Ensure the clasp mechanism operates smoothly and securely. Adjust the band length if necessary for a comfortable fit on your wrist.

Operating

Once the watch band is securely installed, its operation primarily involves wearing and adjusting for comfort.

• Wearing the Watch: Place the watch on your wrist and close the clasp. Ensure the clasp engages fully and securely.
• Adjusting the Fit: If the band features an adjustable clasp, use the appropriate mechanism to lengthen or shorten the band for a snug yet comfortable fit. A watch band should be tight enough not to slide freely on your wrist, but loose enough not to restrict circulation.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Casio watch band.

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the band with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For more thorough cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the watch band to strong chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Drying: Always ensure the band is completely dry before wearing, especially after exposure to water or cleaning.
• Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch band, consider the following common solutions:

• Band Not Fitting: Double-check that your watch model is listed in the compatibility section. Ensure the spring bars are correctly seated in the lug holes. Verify that any metal end pieces or caps were transferred and installed correctly.
• Clasp Not Closing Securely: Inspect the clasp mechanism for any debris or obstructions. Ensure all parts of the clasp are aligned properly. If the clasp is bent or damaged, it may require replacement.
• Difficulty Installing Spring Bars: Ensure you are using the correct size spring bars for your watch. Sometimes, new spring bars can be stiff; apply gentle, consistent pressure with the spring bar tool.

If problems persist, contact Casio customer support or a professional watch repair service.
