Troubleshooting

Watch not syncing with smartphone

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the watch is within range. Try restarting both the watch and your phone. Re-pair the devices through the Casio Watches app if the issue persists.

Display is dim or unreadable

Activate the Super Illuminator LED backlight by pressing the light button. Ensure the display is clean; wipe with a soft cloth. Check if the watch is in power-saving mode.

Incorrect distance tracking

Ensure your smartphone's GPS is enabled and has a clear view of the sky. Calibrate the watch's distance function using the Casio Watches app with a known distance.
