Vintage Watches Popular for Over Three Decades: Casio AQ230

Simple design: Easy to read, easy to wear

Minimalist watches at their best, the Casio AQ230 series has been popular for over three decades for two simple—but significant—reasons: an easy-to-read style coupled with Casio reliability. These vintage watches offer an analog-digital dial but are designed so that the analog hands do not interfere with the digital LCD: easy readability is a hallmark of the AQ230. The stainless-steel band and chrome-plated bezel give the retro look a classic metallic charm, and the thin case ensures the Casio AQ230 is a comfortable fit. This allows the AQ230 to be worn all day, and Casio durability gives you the peace of mind that these minimalist watches are reliable when complementing casual or formal wear. With their era-spanning popularity, it’s easy to see how these vintage watches continue to capture attention and esteem.

Heritage of the Casio AQ230 Minimalist Watches

The Casio AQ230 has its roots in the 1982 Janus AQ200 watch, the first Casio combination model to feature both analog hands and an LCD. The watch quickly gained popularity for its ability to pair well with more refined, dressed-up attire. Continuing the tradition of affordable minimalist watches, the Casio AQ230 was introduced in 1995 and continues to delight with its analog-digital display and classic style.
