Frequently Asked Questions
Titan excels in design variety and has the largest service network in India. Casio offers superior Japanese quartz precision and digital features. Choose Titan for style and local support, Casio for reliability and functionality.
Quality automatic watches are rarely available under ₹3000. We recommend sticking to quartz watches in this budget for better accuracy, lower maintenance, and longer battery life.
Wipe your watch daily with a soft cloth, avoid exposing leather straps to water, and get the battery replaced every 1-2 years at an authorized service center. Store in a dry place when not in use.
