Full details

Its key benefit lies in the combination of practical multi-subdial displays and a durable, refined design.

FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

This Casio watch uses a precise quartz movement, known for its accuracy and reliability.

Is this watch waterproof?

The watch is designed for everyday use and is resistant to splashes. It is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water for swimming or diving.

How do I adjust the stainless steel bracelet?

Adjusting a stainless steel bracelet typically involves removing or adding links. This is best done by a professional watchmaker to ensure a proper fit and avoid damaging the bracelet.

What do the subdials on the watch represent?

The subdials typically display the day of the week, the date, and the moon phase, providing additional timekeeping information.

How often does the battery need to be replaced?

Battery life varies depending on usage and battery type, but typically lasts 2-3 years. A watchmaker can replace the battery when needed.

Can I wear this watch in the shower?

It is not recommended to wear this watch in the shower. Water and soap residue can degrade seals over time and potentially affect the watch's functionality.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The battery may be depleted. Visit a qualified watchmaker for a battery replacement. If the issue persists after replacement, the movement may require servicing.

Date or Day is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not attempting to set the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism changes these functions. Consult the manual for the correct procedure to set the day and date.

Moon phase indicator is incorrect.

Refer to the specific instructions in your watch manual for correctly setting and synchronizing the moon phase indicator with the actual lunar cycle.

Scratches on the mineral crystal.

Minor scratches on mineral crystal cannot be easily removed. For significant scratches, replacement of the crystal by a watchmaker may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines multiple useful complications (moon phase, day, date) in one watch.
  • Durable construction with a stainless steel bracelet and case.
  • Clear readability on the black dial with a structured, modern look.
  • Reliable and accurate timekeeping due to quartz movement.
  • Versatile enough for both formal and casual occasions.

Cons

  • The complexity of multiple subdials might be overwhelming for users accustomed to simpler watches.
  • Mineral crystal is less scratch-resistant than sapphire crystal.
  • Water resistance level is typically suitable for splashes but not for swimming or diving (specific rating not provided in product data).
  • Battery replacement will be required periodically for the quartz movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position and rotate to set the correct time. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
  2. Setting the Day and Date: Consult the watch manual for the specific procedure, as it often involves pulling the crown to a middle position. Ensure you set the date correctly, avoiding changes during the hours when the watch is set to change it automatically (typically 9 PM to 3 AM) to prevent damage to the mechanism.
  3. Setting the Moon Phase: This feature usually requires a separate adjustment via a specific pusher or crown position. Refer to your watch's manual for precise instructions.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone analog watch and does not interact with other electronic devices. Its compatibility is purely in terms of style and wearability with different outfits and occasions.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: While built for everyday use, avoid submerging the watch in water. It is generally resistant to accidental splashes but not designed for swimming or showering.
  • Strap Maintenance: If the stainless steel bracelet becomes dirty, it can be cleaned gently with a soft brush and mild soap, ensuring it is thoroughly dried afterward.
  • Battery: The quartz movement requires a battery. When it eventually stops, take it to a qualified watchmaker for replacement to ensure the seals are maintained.
