Description
The Casio AQ-800E-7A is a masterclass in utilitarian watch design, merging analogue clarity with digital functionality in a distinctive dual-display format. This quartz-powered timepiece features a rectangular stainless steel case housing both a crisp analogue dial with applied indices and a multi-function LCD sub-display, offering world time, dual time, and a 1/100-second stopwatch—all within a compact, wrist-friendly profile. The gridded dial texture and chamfered case edges pay homage to Casio's iconic 1980s design language, while the integrated stainless steel bracelet ensures everyday wearability and durability.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between analogue-digital and purely digital watches?
A: The AQ-800E-7A features both an analogue dial with traditional hands and a digital LCD sub-display. This ana-digi configuration allows you to read the time conventionally via hands while accessing advanced functions like world time, stopwatch, and alarms through the digital screen. It combines the aesthetic appeal of analogue with the functionality of digital.
Q: How do I use the world time function?
A: The world time function allows you to track time across multiple time zones simultaneously. You can set a secondary time zone in the digital display while the analogue hands show your home time, or vice versa. Consult the included user manual for specific button sequences to cycle through world time cities.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 50 metres of water resistance, the AQ-800E-7A is suitable for surface swimming, showering, and everyday water exposure. However, it is not recommended for diving, snorkelling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully and avoid operating buttons while submerged.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Battery life varies depending on usage of the backlight, alarm, and stopwatch functions, but typically ranges from 2 to 3 years. As an authorised Casio retailer, Cassims & Co. can replace your battery using genuine Casio components to maintain water resistance and warranty integrity.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. Visit our Johannesburg showrooms for complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase, or contact our servicing team for adjustments at any time.
Q: Does this watch have an alarm function?
A: Yes, the AQ-800E-7A features a daily alarm and an hourly time signal, both programmable via the digital display. The alarm is ideal for reminders, wake-up calls, or scheduled events throughout the day.
Q: What is the stopwatch capacity?
A: The stopwatch measures elapsed time with 1/100-second precision, up to a maximum of 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds. This makes it suitable for timing laps, intervals, or any activity requiring split-second accuracy.
