The CASIO WATCHES app has temporarily suspended certain features due to a critical security issue with PHP, a commonly used programming language for web services. Casio announced the suspension on October 22nd, 2026, though it is believed to have begun on the 21st. The company stated the action is a precaution to safeguard user data, as the app's functionality relies on PHP.
No breaches or leaks of customer information have been confirmed by Casio at this time. The security issue affects PHP technology used across the web, not just Casio's systems. It remains unclear which specific app functions or services have been impacted. The extent of the disruption to different watch models and overall app operations is also uncertain, as the notice does not specify.
Casio has not provided an estimated date for the full restoration of app services, but confirmed they are working to resolve the issue as swiftly as possible, and apologized for any inconvenience caused.
