The Casio AQ-230GA-5AMQYDF is a refined reinterpretation of the iconic 1980s analogue-digital watch, blending retro aesthetics with modern functionality. Its gold-tone stainless steel case and integrated bracelet deliver a bold, nostalgic statement, while the rich brown dial provides sophisticated contrast beneath a stepped bezel design that echoes Casio's celebrated heritage. This ana-digi configuration combines a traditional three-hand analogue display with a digital sub-window, offering dual time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, and hourly time signal — versatile complications for the contemporary wearer.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for CASIO watches, ensuring every timepiece is backed by genuine international warranty and after-sales support. The AQ-230GA is powered by a reliable quartz movement with an approximate three-year battery life on SR920W, housed within a compact 38.8 × 29.8 × 8.1 mm resin-reinforced case. Water resistance to 30 metres protects against splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for daily wear.
The gold-tone stainless steel bracelet features an adjustable clasp for secure, comfortable fit, and the watch weighs a modest 47 grams — light enough for all-day wear without sacrificing presence. The combination of analogue elegance and digital utility makes this timepiece a versatile choice for those who appreciate functionality wrapped in vintage-inspired design. Whether tracking a second time zone during travel or timing intervals with the stopwatch, the AQ-230GA delivers performance with style.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the AQ-230GA in person, where our knowledgeable team can guide you through its features and ensure the perfect fit.

FAQ
Q: What is an ana-digi watch and how does it work?
A: An ana-digi (analogue-digital) watch combines a traditional analogue display with hour, minute, and second hands, plus a digital LCD sub-window. The AQ-230GA displays time in both formats simultaneously, with the digital window showing additional functions like dual time, stopwatch readings, and alarm settings. This hybrid design offers the elegance of analogue timekeeping with the utility of digital complications.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The AQ-230GA has a water resistance rating of 30 metres (3 ATM), which protects against splashes, rain, and brief accidental immersion. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged contact with water to preserve its integrity and avoid warranty exclusions.
Q: How do I use the dual time function?
A: The dual time function allows you to track a second time zone in the digital display while the analogue hands show your home time. Refer to the instruction manual included with your watch for button operation to set and toggle between time zones — our team at Cassim & Co. is also happy to demonstrate this feature in-store.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features an adjustable clasp and removable links. Our experienced technicians at our Mall of the South boutique provide complimentary sizing at the time of purchase to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit on your wrist.
Q: How long will the battery last and where can I get it replaced?
A: The AQ-230GA is powered by an SR920W battery with an approximate three-year lifespan under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. for professional battery service using genuine components. Battery replacement is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty but is an affordable maintenance procedure.
Q: What is the stopwatch measuring capacity?
A: The digital stopwatch measures elapsed time with 1/100-second precision, up to a maximum capacity of 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds. This makes it ideal for timing workouts, tasks, or any activity requiring accurate interval measurement.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Casio retailer, Cassim & Co. provides this watch with a full 1-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover battery replacement, normal wear and tear, or damage from misuse. Always retain your proof of purchase.
Warranty
- This Casio watch is covered by a 1-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid only when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, including faults in the quartz movement, case, bracelet, and digital module.
- The warranty does not cover battery replacement, normal wear and tear, scratches, cosmetic damage, or deterioration of the gold-tone finish over time.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, immersion beyond the stated 30-metre resistance rating, or failure to have gaskets serviced is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accident, impact, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modification voids the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, you must present the original proof of purchase and return the watch to an authorised Casio service centre or Cassim & Co.
- Cassim & Co. provides ongoing after-sales support including battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and general maintenance for the life of your watch.
Care Guide
- Clean the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet and case regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and dust that can dull the finish.
- Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which may damage the gold-tone finish and resin case components.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as it is only splash-resistant to 30 metres and not suitable for immersion.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields when not in use.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised technician when the digital display dims or the watch stops, typically every three years. Do not allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch, as leakage may occur.
- Avoid dropping or impacting the watch, as shock can damage the quartz movement and digital module.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or the clasp shows wear, bring the watch to Cassim & Co. for professional adjustment or repair.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the manufacturer's warranty and may compromise water resistance.
