The Casio AQ-800EG-9A redefines retro-modern sophistication with its distinctive dual-display architecture and unapologetically bold gold-tone finish. This square-cased timepiece marries analogue elegance with digital functionality, housing a richly textured champagne dial beneath a mineral crystal and a high-contrast LCD module that delivers alarm, chronograph, and world time capabilities at a glance. Measuring 40.7mm in width and 32.1mm in height, the case sits comfortably on the wrist while maintaining commanding presence, its gold-plated stainless steel construction catching light from every angle.
At the heart of this watch beats reliable Japanese quartz movement, ensuring accuracy across both the analogue upper register—with its slender black indices and gold-tone hands—and the digital lower window. The integrated bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, its polished links delivering vintage styling with modern durability. Water resistance to 30 metres provides reassurance against everyday splashes, while the signed crown offers tactile feedback for time and mode adjustments.
As an authorised CASIO watches retailer, Cassims & Co. proudly presents this icon of 1980s design language reimagined for contemporary wear. The AQ-800EG-9A speaks to those who appreciate heritage styling without sacrificing utility—its stopwatch function measures to 1/100th of a second, while the dual-time display keeps you connected across time zones. The champagne dial's grid pattern nods to classic calculator watch aesthetics, yet the proportions remain refined and wearable for any occasion.
Whether you're drawn to its architectural case shape, the warmth of its gold-tone finish, or the functional depth of its dual-display complication, this Casio delivers exceptional value and unmistakable character. Our watch servicing and repairs team stands ready to support your timepiece long after purchase, and you're welcome to experience its retro charm in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where we offer nationwide delivery across South Africa.

FAQ
Q: What makes the AQ-800EG-9A dual-display design unique?
A: The AQ-800EG-9A combines a traditional analogue dial with a digital LCD window in a single square case, allowing you to read the time conventionally via hands while accessing advanced digital functions—alarm, chronograph, and world time—through the lower display module. This hybrid architecture delivers the best of both worlds without requiring separate watches.
Q: Is the gold finish on this watch durable?
A: The case and bracelet feature gold-tone plating over stainless steel, which provides excellent durability for everyday wear. While plating may show signs of wear over time with heavy use, proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive abrasion—will maintain its lustrous appearance for years.
Q: Can I swim with this watch?
A: With 30-metre water resistance, the AQ-800EG-9A is suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and light rain, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water exposure to preserve its seals and functionality.
Q: How do I adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist?
A: The integrated stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be professionally adjusted for a perfect fit. Visit our team at Cassims & Co. for complimentary sizing, or consult a professional watch technician if purchasing remotely—we're happy to guide you through the process.
Q: What battery does the AQ-800EG-9A use and how long does it last?
A: This watch uses a standard Casio quartz battery, typically providing 2-3 years of operation depending on usage of the digital functions (alarm, backlight, stopwatch). Our service team can replace the battery when needed, ensuring water resistance seals are properly maintained during the procedure.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The square case shape and gold-tone finish lend the AQ-800EG-9A a distinctive vintage elegance that pairs beautifully with both smart-casual and formal attire. Its slim 8.7mm profile sits discreetly under shirt cuffs, while the champagne dial adds warmth and refinement to any ensemble.
Q: Does this model come with the original Casio packaging?
A: Yes, the AQ-800EG-9A ships in official Casio presentation packaging, complete with all accompanying documentation, warranty card, and user manual. As an authorised Casio retailer, Cassims & Co. guarantees the authenticity of every timepiece we sell.

- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, plating wear, or crystal damage resulting from everyday use.
- Battery replacement, gasket replacement, and routine maintenance are excluded from warranty coverage.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, operating the crown or pushers underwater, or failure to maintain water resistance seals is not covered.

Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and oils. For deeper cleaning, use a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap, avoiding the crown and case back seals.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or aerosols, as these can damage the gold-tone plating and degrade rubber seals over time.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture ingress.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch will protect the finish from scratches and environmental exposure.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker or our service team to ensure water resistance seals are tested and correctly reinstalled during the procedure.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, activate the digital functions periodically to keep the module responsive and ensure the battery drains evenly.
- Avoid impacts, drops, and extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect timekeeping accuracy and damage internal components.
