Is the Casio AQ-230A-1D good for everyday wear?

Yes. It is slim, light and runs on quartz, so it suits daily office and casual wear. It is not built for swimming or rough sports.

Does it have a backlight?

No. The digital display has no light, so it is hard to read in the dark.

What does the digital screen show?

It shows time, date and alarm information alongside the analog hands.

Is the crystal scratch-resistant?

It uses mineral crystal, which resists light knocks but can scratch over time. Sapphire would be more durable.

Can it be worn in water?

It handles splashes and rain but is not made for swimming or showering.

How does it compare with Casio's all-digital models?

It adds analog hands and a dressier metal case, but gives up the larger digital display and backlight of models like the F-91W.

Our take on the Men's Classic Watch Quartz Mineral Crystal AQ-230A-1D

The Casio AQ-230A-1D is a dual-display watch: an analog dial with hands sits above a small digital screen for time, date and alarm. Its rectangular stainless steel case and matching bracelet give it a retro, dress-casual look that echoes Casio's 1980s designs. It runs on quartz movement and a mineral crystal, so it is a low-maintenance everyday watch rather than a rugged sports model. Owners like the light, slim feel and the vintage styling; the trade-offs are a small digital readout and no backlight on the analog side.
