 Casio MQA-100G Battery Change    (Module 333) Hello fellow Casio enthusiasts from around the World, I hope you are all well. In this post I am going to change the battery in my MQA-100G. The watch had been running well (for over 3 years), until I noticed that the second hand had stopped running and the LCD section had become very faint leading me into a panic to change the battery. I had presumed (wrongly as it happened) that I had a spare battery but I couldn't remember which type it took so I checked an old post to see if I had mentioned it there, but I never mentioned it nor took a picture of the new battery. So that led me to open the watch up to see what type of battery the watch needed. Let me begin... The picture above shows the LCD section is very dim. The second hand has also stopped moving, leading me into panic mode to change the battery. I say panic mode because if the battery starts to leak (and it would have, which I will reveal later in this post) it ...

 Casio AQ-321 Ana Digi Watch (Module 309) 18/10/2023 Hello fellow Casio Watch enthusiasts from around the World. I hope you are all well. In this post, I will be showing you my old, battered, bent and scratched Casio AQ-321. The watch also suffers (as many of these watches do) with an inaccuracy of the mechanical hands. The problem is, the mechanical hands run about 2 seconds a day slower than the LCD part. It may not seem a lot, but over time (yes obviously) the gap increases constantly. However, that doe's not bother me as I love this little watch. I say little as it is quite a small piece even on my small wrist. I would say about the size of a Casio F-91W only a lot thicker and heavier.  Ana-Digi (analogue & digital display) watches and their history. I have been a lover of the Ana-Digi watches since their release in the 1980's, especially the Casio versions. All the major watch manufacturers had an Ana-Digi watch in their collections such as Seiko, Limit International,...

 Casio AB-500G Date Bank Watch (Module 386)  23/1/2024 Hello fellow Casio enthusiasts from around the world, I hope you are well. If you have read the post I wrote about watches that I am always searching for, you may know I have had the Casio AB-500 data bank on my want list for many years. There are some examples still around and for sale. However, they are normally very expensive and in very poor condition as you could image a 30 years plus Casio watch would be.  Therefore an AB-500 in excellent condition will command a price tag of around £500.   Is it worth that kind of money, well, it may be worth that to an avid collector and I have witnessed such purchases. However, I could never ever justify spending that much money on any watch.  Anyway, as I was saying I am always looking for rare Casio watches, with the AB-500 near the top of the list. Well, 2 days ago I found one that I could justify spending the money on, but it is in need of a lot of TLC. In this ...

 Casio AQ-305 Ana-Digi Watch (Module 388) Coming Soon 8/5/2023 Hello Casio Watch enthusiasts. I hope you are all well. I have just purchased the watch below from an auction site (about 30 minutes ago).  It should be here later in the week. Module 388 Looking forward to receiving this watch. "Only needs a battery", the advert reads. I've heard that old excuse before, many times. Let's hope it a good example of an AQ-305, with no battery leakage or internal damage. The watch arrived today (16/5/23) and looks in quite good condition. However, looks can be very deceiving as I have learned before at my expense. Also, this watch is more than 25 years old at least, so I am not holding my breath waiting for high expectations. Buying vintage watches comes with a risk you have to accept, if you want to have that watch in your collection. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. With that said, I only paid £17 including delivery for the watch so I thought it was worth the gamble. ...
