Caring for Your Watch
• A dirty or rusty case or band can soil the sleeve of your clothing, cause skin irritation, and even interfere
with watch performance. Be sure to keep the case and band clean at all times. Rust tends to form easily
after the watch is exposed to seawater and then left without cleaning.
• Sometimes a smudge like pattern may appear on the surface of a resin band. This will not have any
affect on your skin or clothing. Wipe the band with a cloth to clean it.
• Keep a leather band clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Both resin bands and leather band can become
worn and cracked over time when subjected to normal daily use.
• Should your band become badly cracked or worn, be sure to have it replaced with a new one. Request
band replacement from your original retailer or an authorized CASIO Service Center. Note that you will
be charged for band replacement costs, even if your watch is still covered by its warranty.
• Remember that you wear your watch next to your skin, just like a piece of clothing. Because of this, you
should always keep your watch clean. Use a soft, absorbent cloth to wipe off any dirt, sweat, water, or
other foreign matter from the case and band.
Dangers of Poor Watch Care
Rust
• Though the stainless steel used for the watch is highly rust-resistant, rust can form if the watch is not
cleaned after it becomes dirty. Failure of oxygen to come into contact with the metal because it is dirty
causes breakdown of the oxidization layer on the metal surface, which leads to the formation of rust.
• Even if the surface of the metal appears clean, sweat and rust in crevasses can soil the sleeves of
clothing, cause skin irritation, and even interfere with watch performance.
Premature Wear
• Leaving sweat or water on a resin band or storing it an area subject to high moisture can lead to
premature wear, cuts, and breaks.
