Setup Guide
1. Initial Charging
Your MSG-B100DG-9AJF watch is equipped with Tough Solar technology, which converts light into electrical power. Before initial use, expose the watch face to bright light for several hours to ensure it is sufficiently charged. A low battery indicator may appear if the charge is insufficient.
- Optimal Charging: Place the watch where its face is exposed to direct sunlight or strong fluorescent light.
- Avoid Overheating: Do not place the watch in extremely hot locations (e.g., on a car dashboard under direct sun) while charging, as this can damage the watch.
2. Smartphone Link Setup (Bluetooth)
The watch can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth for automatic time adjustment, world time settings, and other functions using the dedicated Casio CASIO WATCHES app.
- Download the App: Search for "CASIO WATCHES" (formerly G-SHOCK Connected) in your smartphone's app store (App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android) and install it.
- Enable Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
- Pairing Process:
- On the watch, hold down the ADJUST button (top left) for approximately two seconds until "CONNECT" flashes on the digital display.
- Open the CASIO WATCHES app on your smartphone and follow the on-screen instructions to pair the watch.
- Once pairing is successful, the watch will automatically adjust its time based on your smartphone's time.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your watch.

- Water Resistance: After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely.
Water Resistance (10 ATM)
Your watch is rated for 10 ATM (100 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.
- Important: Do not operate any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Ensure the crown (if applicable, though this model is button-operated) is fully pushed in before exposing to water.
