Important Notes
The Casio A500WGA-1D comes with a standard manufacturer’s warranty; for specific coverage details and service options, customers should consult Casio’s official website. The watch operates on one LR44 battery, which is included with purchase. While the design is sturdy for everyday wear, it is not intended for high-impact sports, diving, or prolonged exposure to water. To preserve its appearance and functionality, avoid submerging the watch or exposing it to extreme temperatures. The packaging includes the watch only—no additional straps, bands, or accessories are provided. As a vintage-style digital timepiece, it’s best suited for casual and light active use rather than rugged outdoor conditions.
