Maintenance and Care

Cleaning the Watch

Regularly wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid using volatile agents like thinner or benzine, as they may damage the watch.

Battery Replacement

The battery life is approximately 2 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 an authorized Casio service center to ensure proper water resistance and function.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Casio WS-B1000 watch, refer to the following common solutions:

• Watch time is incorrect: Ensure your watch is paired with the CASIO WATCHES app and Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. The watch should automatically synchronize time. If not, manually initiate a connection from the app or watch.

• Step tracker accuracy issues: Verify that your personal data (height, weight) is accurately entered in the CASIO WATCHES app. Ensure the watch is worn securely on your wrist.
• Display is dim or blank: The battery may be low. Consider replacing the battery at an authorized service center.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode. If submerged, dry the watch thoroughly before attempting to operate buttons. If the issue persists, a professional inspection may be required.
