 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. ...

 Casio Ediface EFV-550P-1AVUEF  (Module Number 5579) 1/1/2024 Hello fellow Casio enthusiasts and Happy New Year. In this post I will be looking at the Casio Ediface EFV-550P that I received as a Christmas present from my family. It is the first Ediface I have ever owned as they are quite expensive to buy. I am very happy with the watch, however I have not worn it yet and I am unsure of some of the functions it has.  As you can see, the watch is very well made, the case and back are both made of steel. This version of the 550P has the rubber strap but I am sure the are other variants of the watch that are fitted with a full metal strap. I myself prefer the rubber strap, but I may change my mind in the future. I am also sure I have seen other variants of this watch with an orange rubber strap, which looked really cool.  The outer bezel, with the numbers printed on does NOT move and is only for display purposes. The watch face has blue and chrome highlights on the the h...

Casio AB-200 Data Bank Watch Battery Change  (Module 321) 9/10/2023  Hello Fellow Casio enthusiasts from around the world.  In this post I am going to be changing the battery in my Casio AB-200 watch. If you have read my previous post on the AB-200, you will realise I had been looking for a good example of this watch for some years. I bought the watch in June 2022 but have no history of the watch, like when the last time the battery was changed. To be honest, I should have changed the battery when I first got the watch as a battery leak can be fatal for any watch. I have never worn the watch as I have a fear of damaging it or losing it as it cannot be replaced easily. The watch is kept in a case and the case is stored in a drawer and I check it quite regularly. Today was the day I checked my watch and I was horrified to find the mechanical hands had stopped working and the LCD display was quite dim and not as clear as usual. In panic, I quickly grabbed my tools and set ab...

 Casio AQ-450G Ana-Digi Watch (Module 315)  11/5/2023 Updated 10/102023  Hello Casio watch enthusiasts from around the World. I hope you are all well. I have, just won this vintage AQ-450G from auction and is here. It looks awesome and feels substantial on the wrist. The battery is almost flat and the mechanical hands stopped working. I hope this is simply a battery fault.  As I stated, the watch looks in excellent condition for a watch of more than 25 years old. The case, strap, display's and glass have minimal marks of which I am very happy about.   I love the way the strap sweeps up right to the surface face of the watch and the square design buttons that need a good clean.  My only worry is the mechanical workings of the watch and with that in mind, I need to replace the battery as a matter of urgency. As usual, I will remove the strap to expose the watch back clip.  With the strap removed, I quickly removed the back of the watch so I could re...
