Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

• Wipe the watch case and mineral glass with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and smudges.
• For the leather strap, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish and strap.

Water Resistance (100 Meters)

Your watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving. To maintain water resistance:

• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
• Do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam (e.g., showers, saunas), as this can compromise seals.
• If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Battery Life and Replacement

The Casio EFV-C120L-8AEF is equipped with a 10-year battery. When the battery eventually runs low, it is recommended to have it replaced by an authorized Casio service center or a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and functionality.

Leather Strap Care

To prolong the life of your leather strap:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture.
• Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth as needed.
• Allow the strap to breathe; avoid storing it in airtight containers.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Analog Time is Incorrect: Pull out the crown and reset the analog hands as described in the "Setting Analog Time" section. Ensure the crown is fully pushed back in.
• Digital Display is Blank or Incorrect: Check if the battery is low (though it has a 10-year life, extreme cold can affect performance). Re-enter the Time Setting Mode to verify and adjust the digital time and date. If the issue persists, a battery replacement may be needed.
• Buttons are Unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the watch was recently exposed to water, ensure it is completely dry. If buttons remain unresponsive, contact a service center.
• Water Inside the Watch: Despite its water resistance, if you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
