Watch Care
- Never attempt to open the case or remove the back cover.
- The rubber gasket protecting against water and dust should be replaced every 2-3 years.
- If moisture enters the watch, have it checked immediately by a CASIO dealer.
- Do not expose the watch to extreme temperatures.
- While designed for normal use, avoid rough handling and dropping.
- Do not fasten the strap too tightly. A finger should fit between your wrist and the strap.
- Clean the watch and strap with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth dampened with a mild neutral detergent solution. Never use volatile substances (e.g., gasoline, solvents, aerosol cleaners).
- Store the watch in a dry place when not in use.
- Avoid contact with gasoline, cleaning solvents, aerosol sprays, adhesives, paint, etc. Chemical reactions can damage gaskets, the case, and the watch's finish.
Some models feature silk-screened designs on the strap. Clean carefully to avoid damaging these designs.
For watches with resin straps:
- A white powdery substance may appear on the strap. This is harmless and can be removed by wiping with a cloth.
- Sweat, moisture, or high humidity can damage, tear, or crack resin straps. To ensure longevity, wipe the strap clean with a soft cloth whenever possible.
For watches with fluorescent cases and straps:
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the fluorescent color to fade.
- Prolonged contact with moisture can also cause fading. Wipe off any moisture from the watch surface as soon as possible.
- Contact with other damp surfaces may cause discoloration. Keep the fluorescent surface dry and away from other surfaces.
- Rubbing the fluorescent surface against another surface may transfer the color.
