3. Maintenance
3.1 Water Resistance
Your Casio WS-1300H watch is 100-meter water resistant. This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

The watch is equipped with a 10-year battery. 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 an authorized Casio service center to maintain water resistance.
3.3 Cleaning and Storage
- Clean the watch with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use.
4. Troubleshooting
