 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

 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

Casio AQ-340 (Module 309) 23/1/22 Hello Casio lovers from around the world. I hope you are all well. In this post I will be writing about buying and restoring (to the best of my abilities) the legendary Casio AQ-340 Analogue & Digital watch that were very popular in the mid 1980's. The very first 80's analogue/digital models were enclosed in a full stainless steel case and strap. A very tough watch indeed. However, that model watch was also very expensive. At around £90 in 1985, it wasn't cheap but it wasn't too expensive either considering the functions it was capable of.  There are sadly very few models of that watch have survived to date.  From the research I gathered, Casio rereleased the watch again around 1986-87. This time the case was plastic, covered with a chrome plate. The strap was still made of stainless steel as was the back of the watch.  I have always loved this style watch not only for it's looks, but also for the many functions it has. It is ve
