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.
