Vintage Edgy AQ-800EG-9AEF Watch

The Watch

A true industry leader, Casio continues to captivate with its digital creations. Once futuristic, Casio watches have become must-have accessories for every fashion enthusiast. Inspired by the iconic AQ-450 concept from the 1980s, meet the AQ-800EG-9AEF watch from the Vintage Edgy collection. It blends retro style with elegant design, perfect for any wrist - day or night. Its rectangular case, crafted in gold PVD-coated resin, measures 40.60 mm in length and 32 mm in width, with a thickness of 8.70 mm and a weight of 52 g. The pushbutton on the right side lets you set the analog time, while the two pushbuttons on the left side handle the digital time and function settings. The dial is protected by an acrylic crystal that guards against everyday scratches and knocks. Finally, the snap-on caseback ensures water resistance to 30 meters.

The Dial

This watch stands out with its stunning analog-digital display, where practicality meets elegance. Accentuated by the case's angled lines, it pairs an analog dial with a digital screen. The square dial, in a bold yellow color, features a grid-pattern finish and is swept by two hands and a slim seconds hand. They point to a minute track and stick-shaped indices, keeping you informed of the hours, minutes, and seconds. At 12 o'clock, the brand name and movement type are printed, with "Water Resist" noted at 6 o'clock. On the other side, the LCD screen shows the time in digital format along with all available functions. Its black background is marked with "Alarm Chrono" and "WR", along with various labels indicating the purpose of each pushbutton.

The Functions

3 years - 1 battery

The Movement

This watch runs on a Japanese-made quartz movement of exceptional quality - the Casio caliber 5696 - which powers both the analog and digital displays for precise, reliable timekeeping. Its battery delivers approximately 3 years of life.

The Strap

The watch's retro look is complemented by this stainless steel bracelet, whose clean, streamlined links elevate any outfit. With its ion-plated finish, the horizontal links - long and slender in shape - wrap around your wrist with effortless style. Designed for wrist sizes from 150 to 205 mm, it fastens with an adjustable clasp. The lug width is 21 mm.

Water Resistance

With water resistance rated at 3 atmospheres - 30m - this watch is made to shine at social events, not underwater. It'll handle rain, splashes, or a bit of sink water just fine, but that's where it stops. Skip the shower, the bath, and definitely the pool or ocean.
