@safat abdalwasi If we are talking vincero . Their marketing strategy unfortunately works too well. One of my best friends genuinely thought that vincero are high quality watches because of their marketing. And he is an intelligent person no less but for non watch people cutting the "middle man" sounds logical reason for the price decrease. I told him that the price of a watch is determined by many other factors but not the so "middle man" but who knows how many more fell for that trap. Edit: spelling mistake

It's small, light, amazingly comfortable, slim, very legible, super affordable (even If I personally overpaid in jewellery store in Paris, although to quote Rhett Butler "frankly my dear I don't give a damn") and I love the 70s/80s retro styling. Love Casio's and this one is no different. Enjoy 👍

Let me just say this because people are hating on the fact that the case is resin and not stainless steel like their daddy's seikos or citizens? But casio did make these models in stainless steel versions back in the 1980s a few off the top of my head are the AQ320/321 AQ350 and I have an AQ410g that is ion plated. The aq230 is what has sold very well and isn't the priciest to assemble so they kept it. But look on ebay if you want a stainless steel version and they look better than the aq230 as well!! They're out there.

Another super good Casio ana-digi is the AW-80. It was the first watch I ever got, got it when I was 8. I'm 19 now and I still haven't had to change the battery after wearing it every day and fiddling with it constantly for about 9 years. The modern ones are slightly worse because they slashed the water resistance from 100m to 50m but it's still a bargain for around €30.

Great features, lightweight and an excellent upgrade for someone who wants something like the F91W but with a decent backlight, a timer and even the ability to put other 18mm straps, all for around 20$ for the resin and around 35$ for the metal band.

I found and bought one of these little casio anadigis at my local Myers store, the only one they had on sale, i had to have it, i always wanted to have a retro-style anadigi watch. Mine is a silver band with a black face It's a nice little light weight watch and fits well on my wrist. Sadly, it has no backlight,its only a cheap base model after , I have other watches with all the fruit in my collection If I want to wear something more feature packed on the wrist. Such as my Seiko SNJ025 Arnie and my Casio G Shock DW5600E Tough Solar. But over all the AQ230 is a cheap, stylish little retro style piece!.
