 Casio Ana-Digi AQ-340 Battery Change. 18/2/2023 Hello fellow Casio watch enthusiasts, collectors and anyone else that is interested. As the title suggests, I going to be changing the battery on my 1986 Casio AQ-340 Ana-Digi or can be also known as a combi watch. This means the watch has a traditional handed display and also an LCD display. The LCD normally combines an alarm, stop watch, hourly chime and dual time. These watches were first released back in 1983-84ish and I've loved them ever since. I love them so much, I bought two models. As the watches are very old, they do have a lot of defects but this is to be expected due to their again. Remember these watches are 40 years old, so their condition is fair to say the least. I bought these watches around 5 years ago and they were very cheap but had parts missing. The prices of these watches are now starting to appreciate due to the rarity. I rarely wear them, therefore I do a check every now and again to see how the batteries ar

 Casio DBC-32-1A Data Bank Watch Strap Replacement 11/2/2023 Hello Casio enthusiasts from around the word.  I hope you are all well. In this post I will be replacing the black strap on my DBC-32. Not there is any damage to the black strap, it's just an aesthetic change I like. I had seen a version just like this whilst browsing and I had to do it. The only thing was, I couldn't find the correct strap until a couple of days ago. I obviously ordered it immediately as it was the last one the supplier had. A couple of nervous days later (as normally, with my luck, it's out of stock on the last one's), the strap arrived safe and sound.  It's a very vibrant colour, maybe too bright for me to wear but I do love it and it's a great contrast. First of all, I need the DBC out of it's box. It's looking a little dusty so I'll give it a clean whilst I'm on with this little job. I was going to change the battery, but there's no need as it has a 10 year bat

 Casio A-210 Data Bank Watch (Module 1637) 3/2/2023 Hello Casio enthusiasts and thanks for joining me! Above is a picture of my well used and beloved Casio A-210. I have owned the watch from brand new and purchased it in early 1999. At 23 years old, it still does what it was designed to do with all those years ago. As you can see it has the blue "Illuminator" back light that still works well and the big "light" button on the front of the watch. The watch has seen some hard times and has the scars to prove, yet it is still fully functional. As well as having a 30 name and number directory, the watch has many other functions that I will fully explain as we move on. As you can see from the above pictures, the LCD display is very clear with no dead segments. This is very important for the various other functions of this great watch. Equipped with a 30 name and number telephone memory (remember this was on the brink of everyone owning a mobile phone, never mind a smart p

 Casio MQA-100G  3/2/2023 Hello Casio enthusiasts from around the World. I hope you are all well. The watch above is an old Casio MQA-100G, from the mid to late 1980's. It is identified as an analogue and digital watch. The watch above is the actual watch I bought at auction tonight. I took a gamble on this watch, as it is not running and "only" requires a battery. It should arrive next week. I have hope the watch can be revived, to some of it's former glory and I look forward to working on it. As soon as it arrives, I will update you on the condition of the watch. I am trying to find a new battery to check the function of the watch. The battery arrived shortly after I wrote this post and unfortunately the watch did not work. After closer inspection, I found that the old battery had leaked into the watch causing substantial damage. The leaked acid had travelled quite a distance in the watch destroying various components along the way.  The main PCB (printed circuit bo

 2023 Casio Watch Projects Hello fellow Casio watch enthusiasts from around the world. Let me also wish you a belated Happy New Year too.  I hope you are all well.  In 2023, I hope to have many projects to show you and I am always on the hunt for lesser known Casio gems. For me, this is an ongoing project to find many of the used watches that I always wanted growing up as a Casio fan. Many of the watches I am looking for, were far too expensive and out of my reach, and all I could do, was dream. I have, in the last couple of years, managed to purchase some watches I was after. However, the list is long and funds are few, and so the Casio watch hunt is always on. You may also be aware that the price of used and unique Casio watches has risen considerably. This is a good situation for some, and bad for others.  Two further projects I need to complete are my AQ-321 and AQ-340. The AQ-321 (white dial), needs a new strap as a couple of the links are damaged. It also needs another deep clean
