Water Resistance (20 BAR)
The watches in this collection are rated for 20 BAR water resistance, meaning they are suitable for everyday use, showering, swimming, and even recreational diving. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
Shock Resistance
The G-Shock and Baby-G watches are built with a robust shock-resistant structure designed to withstand impacts and vibrations from daily activities and sports. While highly durable, avoid unnecessary harsh impacts.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap solution, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents.
Battery Replacement
When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized CASIO service center to ensure proper water resistance sealing.
Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.
