Using and caring for the Casio AE-1500WH-8B2

Rinse the watch with fresh water after swimming in the sea or a pool, because salt and chlorine can affect the case and strap over time. Avoid pressing any buttons while the watch is underwater, as this can compromise the 100-meter seal. When the battery eventually needs replacing after around ten years, a qualified watch technician should carry out the work to keep water resistance intact. Clean the strap with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry it fully.

• Rinse with fresh water after swimming in the ocean or a pool.
• Do not operate the buttons underwater.
• Have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician.
• Wash the strap with mild soap and let it air dry completely.
• Store the watch away from strong magnets and high heat.
