Maintenance
Water Resistance

Your Casio F108WH watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (165 feet). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, splashes, and brief immersion in water. It is generally not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving, as prolonged exposure to water pressure or hot water can compromise the seals. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is wet.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a CR2016 battery, designed to last approximately 7 years. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
General Care
- Clean the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Prevent contact with solvents, gasoline, aerosols, or adhesives, as these can damage the resin case and band.
Troubleshooting
