FAQs
What does '50M Water Resistance' mean for daily use?
50M (5 ATM) water resistance means the watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as showering or bathing. It is generally not suitable for swimming, snorkeling, or diving.
How often does the battery need to be replaced?
The battery life for quartz watches typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. If the watch stops or loses accuracy, a battery replacement is likely needed.
Can I replace the watch strap with a different one?
While the watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet, it may be possible to replace it with another strap if it matches the lug width of the watch case. It is recommended to have this done by a professional to ensure the integrity of the watch.
How do I clean the watch and bracelet?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the case and bracelet. For more thorough cleaning of the stainless steel, you can use a mild soap solution and then rinse with fresh water, ensuring it's completely dry afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the green dial vibrant or subtle?
The product description mentions a 'minimalist bottle green dial' which suggests a sophisticated and not overly bright green, making it a distinctive yet versatile color choice for various outfits.
Does the watch have an alarm function?
No, this Casio MTP-B145D model is a classic analog watch focused on precise timekeeping and a date display. It does not feature an alarm, stopwatch, or other digital functions.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not keeping accurate time or has stopped.
First, check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement. A qualified watch technician can replace the quartz battery. If it's a new watch, ensure the protective plastic tab under the crown has been removed.
The date changes at noon instead of midnight.
This indicates that the watch's time is set to the wrong AM/PM cycle. Pull the crown out to the time-setting position (second click) and advance the hour hands by 12 hours. The date should now change around midnight.
Moisture or fog appears inside the watch crystal.
Small amounts of condensation due to sudden temperature changes are often temporary. If the fog persists or reappears, it may indicate a breach in the water resistance seals. Have the watch inspected by a professional watch repair service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the first or second click. The second click is typically for time adjustment.
- Adjust the Date: If your watch has two clicks, the first click usually allows you to adjust the date by turning the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Adjust until the correct date is displayed.
- Adjust the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click. Turn the crown to move the hands until the correct time is set. Be mindful of AM/PM for the date change (the date typically changes around midnight).
- Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown firmly back into its normal operating position to start the watch and maintain water resistance.
Compatibility
This Casio watch is a universal accessory, compatible with any personal style. Its standard wrist-wearing design means it's compatible with all users. The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted for size by removing links; this is best done by a professional watchmaker to ensure a proper and secure fit.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oils. For the stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure the watch is rinsed thoroughly and dried completely.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 50M, avoid pressing buttons or operating the crown underwater. After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep the watch away from harsh chemicals, solvents, and perfumes, which can damage the case, bracelet, or seals.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.
- Glass Care: Despite being 'scratch-resistant acrylic glass', acrylic can still scratch. Avoid abrasive surfaces and consider screen protectors designed for watches if you are particularly concerned.
