The Casio AQ-230EM-7A is a masterclass in minimalist design and functional versatility. This ana-digi timepiece marries the refined aesthetic of a classic analogue dial with the practical utility of a digital display, creating a watch that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend wear. The silver-toned sunray dial features slim applied indices and dauphine hands that catch the light beautifully, while the lower digital window provides instant access to additional time functions. Encased in a chrome-plated resin case with a distinctive cushion shape, this Vintage collection piece channels retro sensibility with contemporary wearability.
The standout feature of this timepiece is its stainless steel mesh bracelet—an elegant alternative to the resin straps typically found in Casio's catalogue. The Milanese-style mesh brings a tactile sophistication to the watch, with an adjustable clasp ensuring a precise fit on any wrist. Measuring 38.8 × 29.8 × 8.1 mm, this compact case profile makes it an ideal unisex option, sitting comfortably under shirt cuffs while maintaining on-wrist presence. Water resistance provides peace of mind during daily wear, and the reliable quartz movement powered by an SR920W battery offers approximately three years of maintenance-free timekeeping.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between ana-digi and a standard analogue watch?
A: An ana-digi watch like the AQ-230EM-7A combines a traditional analogue dial with hands and a digital LCD display window. This dual-display format gives you the classic aesthetic of an analogue timepiece while providing instant access to digital functions such as date, alarm, or secondary time zones—offering the best of both worlds in a single compact case.
Q: Can I wear this watch while washing my hands or in the rain?
A: Yes, the AQ-230EM-7A is water resistant, which means it can withstand splashes, rain, and handwashing without issue. However, it is not rated for swimming, showering, or submersion, so we recommend removing it during those activities to preserve the case seal and movement integrity.
Q: How long will the battery last, and can you replace it at Cassim & Co.?
A: The SR920W battery in this Casio watch provides approximately three years of reliable operation under normal use. When it's time for a replacement, our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery quickly and professionally, ensuring your watch is resealed and tested for water resistance.
Q: Is the mesh bracelet adjustable, and how is it sized?
A: Yes, the stainless steel mesh bracelet features an adjustable clasp that allows for micro-adjustment without the need for link removal. This ensures a precise, comfortable fit on any wrist size. If you require further adjustment or assistance with sizing, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our staff will be happy to help.
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: Absolutely. With a compact 38.8 × 29.8 mm case and lightweight 52-gram profile, the AQ-230EM-7A is designed as a unisex timepiece. Its slim 8.1 mm case height and refined mesh bracelet make it equally suited to smaller and larger wrists, and its vintage-inspired design transcends traditional gender categorisation.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes. When you purchase the AQ-230EM-7A from Cassim & Co., an authorised Casio retailer, the watch is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring peace of mind with your investment.
Q: What is the best way to care for the stainless steel mesh bracelet?
A: To maintain the lustre and smoothness of the mesh bracelet, wipe it periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and debris. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid exposing the bracelet to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or prolonged moisture to preserve its finish.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Remove your watch before engaging in high-impact sports, heavy manual labour, or activities that expose it to strong shocks or magnetic fields.
- Water Exposure: Although water resistant, this watch is not suitable for swimming, showering, or submersion. Remove it before such activities to protect the case seal and movement.
- Cleaning the Case: Wipe the chrome-plated resin case gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear to remove fingerprints, oils, and dust.
- Cleaning the Bracelet: Clean the stainless steel mesh bracelet periodically using a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you dry it thoroughly afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that may scratch the finish.
- Crystal Care: The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid contact with hard surfaces or abrasive materials. If minor scratches appear, a professional polishing service can restore clarity.
- Chemical Exposure: Keep your watch away from perfumes, solvents, detergents, cosmetics, and other chemicals that may damage the case finish, bracelet, or seals.
- Battery Replacement: When the digital display dims or the watch stops, bring it to Cassim & Co. for a professional battery replacement. Do not attempt to open the case yourself, as this may void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use, store your Casio watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic sources.
- Regular Servicing: While quartz watches require minimal maintenance, an occasional inspection by our servicing team will ensure the case seal, bracelet clasp, and movement remain in optimal condition.
