Casio AQ230A-7DMQY Vintage Ana-Digi Watch Launches in the US for $59.95
Casio has introduced a fresh version of its classic AQ230 series, bringing another retro-inspired ana-digi watch to the US market. The new Casio AQ230A-7DMQY is now listed at $59.95, offering a clean white dial, a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet, and the familiar mix of analog styling with practical digital functions.
The AQ230 collection has long been a favorite among fans of affordable vintage watches. First introduced in the mid-1990s, the lineup follows the design language of earlier Casio ana-digi models, combining traditional two-hand analog timekeeping with a small digital display. The layout is simple, easy to read, and intentionally minimal, with the analog hands positioned so they do not block the digital screen.
The new AQ230A-7DMQY sticks closely to that proven formula. Its white dial gives the watch a bright, understated look, while the silver-tone bracelet adds a classic everyday style that works well with casual or smart-casual outfits. For buyers who like compact watches with a vintage feel, this model keeps the proportions slim and lightweight.
In terms of size, the Casio AQ230A-7DMQY measures 38.8 × 29.8 × 8.1 mm and weighs 47 g. It uses a resin case body with a chrome-plated bezel and a resin glass crystal. The stainless steel bracelet is adjustable and fits wrist sizes from 140 to 205 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of users.
Despite its simple appearance, the watch includes several useful features. It supports dual time, a 1/100-second stopwatch for elapsed time measurement, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar. The digital display can show time in either 12-hour or 24-hour format, while the analog display handles hours and minutes. The digital section also shows seconds, a PM indicator, month, date, and day.
Battery life is rated at approximately three years using an SR920W battery. The watch is also listed as water resistant, which should help protect it from minor splashes during daily wear, though it is not positioned as a swimming or diving watch.
The Casio AQ230A-7DMQY is available now in the US for $59.95. With its low price, slim case, retro design, and practical everyday features, it should appeal to anyone looking for an affordable vintage-style Casio watch with both analog and digital functionality.
