FAQ
Q: What functions does the digital display offer on the AQ-230GG-2ADF?
A: The digital sub-display provides additional timekeeping functions including date display and potentially alarm and stopwatch capabilities, complementing the traditional analogue time display on the main dial.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: While the AQ-230GG-2ADF is water-resistant and suitable for daily exposure to moisture such as handwashing and light rain, it is not designed for swimming or submersion. For aquatic activities, we recommend exploring Casio's dedicated dive watch collections.

Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long does it last?

Q: What makes the gunmetal finish different from standard stainless steel?
A: The gunmetal grey chrome plating provides a sophisticated, darker aesthetic compared to traditional polished or brushed stainless steel. This finish is achieved through a specialised plating process on the resin case and coordinates beautifully with the stainless steel bracelet for a cohesive vintage-modern appearance.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, this timepiece carries a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Can I wear this watch daily or is it better suited for occasional use?
A: The AQ-230GG-2ADF is designed as a robust daily-wear timepiece. Its quartz movement ensures accuracy, the water-resistant construction protects against daily moisture exposure, and the durable stainless steel bracelet withstands regular use. It's an excellent choice for everyday wear with a distinctive retro aesthetic.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, moisture, and daily residue
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents
- While water-resistant, do not operate the digital buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the seal
- If the stainless steel bracelet becomes dirty, clean it gently with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself; battery replacements and internal servicing should only be performed by qualified watchmakers to maintain water resistance and warranty validity
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields when not in use; strong magnets can affect quartz movement accuracy
