Casio brings green and gold vintage dual-time watches to the US

Two retro designs arrive in the US

Casio has launched two vintage-style watches in the US, according to Notebookcheck. The AQ230GA-3A has angular corners, while the AQ240EG-3A has a rounded case. Both share a deep green dial paired with gold bands and bodies.

The pair had already appeared in the UK in September. Their US arrival now brings the green and gold colourway to American buyers. Prices differ by model: the angular AQ230GA-3A costs $79.95 and the rounded AQ240EG-3A costs $94.95 on Casio's website.

Each watch shows two times at once. A main analogue dial sits alongside a small digital display, so a wearer can read a home and a travel time zone in one glance.

Inside the watches: module, battery and display modes

Both models run on Casio's 5154 watch module, the internal mechanism that drives the hands and the digital screen. The company says the watches are powered by SR920W batteries, which last up to three years before they need replacing.

Three buttons control the digital display. Casio lists date, current time, world time, a single alarm and a stopwatch among the available modes. The company quotes an accuracy of plus or minus 30 seconds per month.

The analogue dial has no second hand. Casio says this reduces power draw and softens the sense of passing time. The textured green background reflects light differently as the viewing angle changes, an effect the company compares to a ray of sunlight.

Sizes, weights and an at-home clasp

The angular AQ230GA-3A measures 38.8 by 29.8 by 8.1 mm and weighs 47 g. The rounded AQ240EG-3A is slightly larger at 40.9 by 35.8 by 8.1 mm and weighs 51 g. Casio describes both as slim and light enough for everyday wear.

A practical detail sets these models apart. The gold-plated stainless steel bands come with an adjustable clasp, so owners can resize the strap at home without a trip to a watch shop. Casio presents this as a time-saving feature.

Buyers who want other colours can look at the wider Casio AQ230 range, which Notebookcheck notes is listed on Amazon.

Why the green and gold look matters

Casio's vintage line has built a following by reviving small, light digital watches from past decades. The new pair follows that pattern but adds a colourway that stands out from the usual black and silver dials.

The dual-time layout suits travellers and anyone working across time zones, since both readings stay visible without pressing buttons. The three-year battery life also keeps maintenance low compared with smartwatches that need regular charging.

For readers weighing the two models, the choice is mostly about shape and price. The angular AQ230GA-3A is the smaller and cheaper option at $79.95, while the rounded AQ240EG-3A costs $94.95 and offers a slightly bigger case.
