Collection Unisex Adults Watch AQ-230A

Fantastic. Great value. Looks elegant and stylish.

Nice watch at a decent price. Not too bulky and heavy on the wrist, but big enough that it doesn’t look too small. Very pleased.

This watch is one of a series with different cases and dials. I purchased a gold coloured version back in 1996 which finally started to give trouble a few days ago. This appeared to be caused by the sealing ring which had not been changed since new and had allowed dirt to accumulate inside. Despite this the movement was still working perfectly and I later cleaned out the case especially the buttons which were stiff and it now works again.However due to the age and the fact that the case is not metal, it has lost its good looks and at the very reasonable price it is available for on Amazon I decided to get a new one. This time I chose the chrome coloured version with a white dial and black digits which provides a very easy to read face.I very highly recommend this watch in all versions as it is very accurate (within +/-30 seconds a month) and has a separate digital display which can show the time, date and day of week, Alarm, Stopwatch and a dual time which can be set for another time zone if required. It is also very slim and elegant and looks more expensive than it is.The method of operating the watch can be downloaded as a pdf by going to the Casio Watch site ([...]) and selecting Support/Manuals/Timepieces/Watch Manual Archives and entering Module No:1301 in the edit box.New sealing rings are available (at just over £5 including P/P) from Casio Spares department (Tel 020 8208 9567 M-F 9-5). It uses a Silver Oxide Button Cell Type SR920 (1.55v) which is not difficult to purchase and should last about 3 years. The back is easy to remove and the battery is easy to change. The sealing ring can be changed if necessary at the same time. If the movement is accidentally disturbed check that the buttons are still operating the contacts properly.

Dual time zone function useful. Battery life is quite good but only indication that new battery required is digital display dimming to unreadable and / or watch stopping. Consider watch to be good value for money. Strap length can be adjusted quite quickly but really needs small screwdriver.

Perfect! Exactly as described. Does not look a “blue/ green silver” as the pictures shows, which is a good thing. It’s a clean looking silver with a white face. Can’t go wrong.

Firstly and vitally, this watch is identical in size, shape and function to the white-faced silver case/strap version AQ-230A-7DMQ and the gold-effect AQ-230GA-9DMQYES although this one is described as "small". The strap is also the same length as those of the other two, although it is described as "ladie's". I am male with a not too big wrist and it fits me fine. The strap has an adjustable buckle, so there's no need to mess with links.Functionally these watches are in my opinion almost perfect. You get time analogue & digital, perpetual date, once in 24hr alarm, hourly alarm (both can be on or off), 1/100th second stopwatch and a second "dual" time function, useful for your home time zone when you're abroad. Setting is simple. Setting the analogue time is slow, you press the button on the right and the hands turn quickly, but not very quickly. I have one for UK winter time (black face), one for UK summer time/European winter time (silver) and one for European summer time (gold), so I don't have to reset the analogues.In my opinion Casio should offer a top-grade version of this watch, with a titanium case/strap, sapphire lens, higher contrast LCD and solar power. I would still buy 3 if they were ten times the price of these babies.

I have been wearing this particular watch model for about 25 years now. Have bought two of the gold versions previously , but the finish gradually wears off (particularly where the buttons are), probably due to chemicals in my perspiration. However , to be fair , it's worn every day , and considering the low price , it's very accurate and looks very stylish too. Battery life seems to be about 3 to 4 years.When the time (no pun intended) came to replace it , I decided to have a change , and go for the version with a silver bracelet and black dial. It arrived today and I'm really pleased with it.It's predecessors took a number of hard knocks over the years , but still kept going , and I'm sure this one will do the same. They are a doddle to set up , and as I have a thin wrist , the small dial and slim case , means it doesn't look bulky and ridiculous , unlike so many of the modern "trendy" watches I've tried on.If I had to find fault , I'd have to agree with other reviewers on here , that if only it had luminous hands and a back-light , it would be even better.Overall , I think it's brilliant value , so I hope Casio continue to make it , and Amazon and other retailers keep stocking it , for many years to come.

Let me start by saying that this is a nice timepiece. As others have said, it's light, comfy and looks smart.However, not all the information in the description is accurate and, in fact, it is quite misleading. It states in the 'Description' that it is water resistant to 3 atm (30m). Contrary to that, the 'Features and details' state a ridiculous 'water pressure resistance' of 50 bar (500m)!According to Casio the watch conforms to ISO 22810 (http://www.casio-europe.com/euro/watch/collection/aq-230a-7bmqyes/), which in turn defers to the manufacturer's description of what activities are permitted within the warranty. Casio state that the watch is only "resistant to minor splashing. Any greater water contact should be avoided."As such, the other claim in the 'Features and details' section that it is water resistant to 30m (massively different to 50 bar!) is misleading because it suggests bathing and swimming with the watch on is OK when according to the manufacturer, Casio, it is not. Bathing and swimming with the watch on will void the warranty.So, if you're after something that you can keep on your wrist all day every day for pretty much any daily activity including washing, then this watch is not for you.However, if, like me, your regular practice is to remove your watch for showers or baths or swimming, etc, then this is a great little watch.All in all, be well informed.

Une montre magnifique, qui nous faire penser à notre jeunesse, merçi....

Authentic with all the stamps and warranty certificate

Casio'nun kötü saati yok diyebilirim, ara ara farklı modeller alıyorum son iki saati vintage tarz aldım ve çok beğenerek kullanıyorum.

Muy elegante a la vez que sencillo. El tamaño perfecto. Me encanta

What great value! The product comes as expected, although the band does not feel like real metal, but I understood this when purchasing. The appearance and color is great, really easy to adjust the strap, and super easy to use the instructions to set up the time displays on the watch. I would definitely recommend!
