My Watch is Fogging Up! What Do I Do??
So, you bought yourself a Casio watch, and you've noticed it start to fog up. Annoying isn't it? You think to yourself, 'Did I get scammed? Is this a counterfeit watch?' This is Jimmy B, and I'm here to lay your fears to rest!
First up, you should be assured, ALL Casio Watches are water resistant, so you don't need to worry that water's starting to get inside. However, the glass underneath the display has a bubble of air inside it. That's not a fault, it's put there on purpose, and it acts as a first layer of defense, so the water doesn't get through.
Saying that though, there is a small down side. If you go into a cold room, and then a warm room (or vice versa), you WILL see the watch fog up. Again though, that is totally normal, and after about 5-10 minutes, the fogging will clear up on its own. Casio Australia actually recommends waiting up to 2 hours before calling to say it's a fault and sending the watch back (especially since by the time they receive it, the fogging is usually already gone).
Now, while I've got your attention, I do want to point out something else Casio advises. Even though the watch IS water resistant, you should not have it on you when in the shower, or when washing the dishes. Why? Because running water does reduce the stability of the seal, since it's not exactly an equal pressure.
So, there you have it. Next time you get a watch and you notice it fog up, be patient, it's more likely that it's the bubble of air, which will resolve itself soon.
