Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, download the CASIO WATCHES app on your smartphone and enable Bluetooth. Follow the on-screen prompts to pair the watch by holding the designated button. Compatibility is broad, supporting most modern iOS and Android devices. For maintenance, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water after every session in the ocean to prevent salt buildup on the buttons and bezel. The bio-based resin strap should be cleaned periodically with a soft brush and mild soap to maintain flexibility. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the resin material over time.
