What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Choose an analog Casio if you want to read time from hands, a digital model if you prefer numerals, or an analog-digital watch if you want both displays. Those categories describe how the time is shown—not a guaranteed set of functions. Compare the exact model’s features, fit, power source, band and water-resistance rating before buying.
What each display type means
Analog: time shown by hands
An analog watch uses hands on a dial. That describes its display, not how it is powered: Casio notes that analog watches may use battery, solar, automatic or mechanical drive. Casio’s analog range includes traditional dress and sport styles. See Casio’s analog-watch guide.

Digital: time shown in numerals
A digital watch presents time as digits. Stopwatch, timer and calendar functions are common examples in Casio’s digital-watch guide, but features vary by model. Check the exact listing rather than assuming a digital watch includes a particular function. See Casio’s digital-watch guide.

An analog-digital, or ana-digi, watch combines hands with a separate digital display. The digital portion may show information such as the date, day, dual time or chronograph functions; not every model has all of them. Casio describes the category as blending traditional analog hands with a digital display. Browse Casio’s analog-digital category.
#1 Best Overall
- RETRO 1980s-INSPIRED ANALOG-DIGITAL DESIGN The Casio AQ-800E-7A reimagines the iconic AQ-450 design from the 1980s with a modern vintage aesthetic. A separate analog dial and LCD display combine classic watch styling with convenient digital functionality, while the grid-pattern dial, simple bar indexes, and angular case create a distinctive retro look.
- SLIM, LIGHTWEIGHT CASE WITH STAINLESS STEEL BAND Measuring 40.7 × 32.1 × 8.7 mm (L × W × H) and weighing 52 grams, the AQ-800E-7A has a slim profile designed for comfortable everyday wear. The case features a resin/chrome-plated construction and resin glass, while the stainless steel band with adjustable clasp fits approximately 150–205 mm wrists.
- DUAL TIME & 1/100-SECOND STOPWATCH Keep track of another time zone with the Dual Time function, while the 1/100-second stopwatch measures elapsed time with a capacity of up to 59 minutes, 59.99 seconds. These practical functions add versatility without taking away from the watch's clean vintage appearance.
- DAILY ALARM, HOURLY TIME SIGNAL & EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE Stay on schedule with a daily alarm and hourly time signal. The watch also features an auto-calendar, 12/24-hour format, and separate analog and digital time displays showing hour, minute, second, PM, month, date, and day.
- WATER RESISTANT & POWERED BY SR920W BATTERY Designed for everyday wear, the AQ-800E-7A features water resistance for routine situations such as rain and hand washing. A SR920W battery provides approximately 3 years of battery life, while quartz accuracy is approximately ±30 seconds per month.
Compare the display styles
| Style | What you see | Why it may suit you | Check on the exact model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analog | Hands on a dial | You prefer a familiar, hand-based time display or a traditional dial style. | Dial and hand legibility, functions, band, power source and water-resistance rating. |
| Digital | Numerals on a display | You want a direct numeric readout, with model-dependent timing or calendar functions. | Confirm each desired feature and whether the display is easy for you to read. |
| Analog-digital | Hands plus a digital display | You want both a hand-based display and a separate screen for additional information. | Which extra functions the model has, and whether its combined layout is clear to you. |
Choose by how you want to use and read the watch
Start with the display you find easiest to read
If you naturally read time from hands and prefer a classic dial, start with analog models. If you prefer to see the time as numerals, start with digital models. Choose ana-digi when you have a reason to use both displays—for example, keeping hands in view while checking other information on the digital screen. These are practical selection considerations, not claims that one format is objectively easier or better.
List the functions you actually need
Write down any must-haves before comparing models: a stopwatch, countdown timer, calendar, dual time, illumination, solar charging or radio-controlled time adjustment. Casio’s category guides describe some of these as available functions, but availability depends on the specific model and variant. Verify each one on the product page or in the manual.
Rank #2
- Dual Time, Daily Alarm
- 1/100 second digital stopwatch (Measuring capacity: 59'59.99", Measuring modes: Elapsed time)

- Accuracy: +/-30 seconds per month, Battery SR920W,Approx. battery life: 3 years

Check fit, band and water resistance
Consider case size and whether the dial or screen remains legible in the settings where you will wear it. Then check band material, power source and water-resistance rating against your intended use. Casio’s Collection catalog provides filters for display type, strap type, solar charging and water resistance. A category label alone does not establish a watch’s suitability for a particular activity; consult the exact model’s specification and manual.
Casio families to use as starting points
Analog-digital: GA-2100 series
Casio’s European guide uses GA-2100 family watches as examples of a hybrid display. The guide describes functions including a stopwatch, countdown timer and illumination for the models discussed, along with shock resistance and water resistance up to 20 bar. Treat these as specifications for the cited examples, not every watch with a similar name: confirm the exact suffix and regional listing.
Rank #3
- Band is made from Bio-Based Resin, and is produced from renewable organic materials
- LED Backlight aids visibility in darker environments
- WORLD TIME function includes 31 unique times zones, 48 cities, and features a daylight saving on/off & Home City / World Time City Swapping
- Additional features include 1/100-second stopwatch function, (5) daily alarms, and an hourly time signal
Analog: MTP and LTP families
Casio’s guide points to CASIO Collection MTP and LTP watches as examples of traditional dial and dress-watch styles. The catalog includes different designs, so compare the particular model’s size, functions and specification rather than choosing by family name alone.
Digital: F-91WS-2 and LF-10WH-1
Casio names the F-91WS-2 and LF-10WH-1 as digital-watch examples. Use them as category references, then check the precise model listing for the functions and specifications that matter to you.
Rank #4
- Multifunction watch featuring LED light, world time (30 cities), 1/100 second stopwatch, and countdown timer
- Additional functions include three daily alarms, hourly time signal, auto calendar, 12- and 24- hour formats,40 mm stainless steel case with mineral dial window
- Quartz movement with analog-digital display
- Canvas band with hook-and-loop closure
- Water resistant to 50 m (165 ft): In general, suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not diving or snorkeling

- Check that the case, dial or screen and band suit your wrist and intended setting.
- Confirm the power source and the model’s water-resistance rating in its regional product listing or manual.
- For watches with similar names, compare the complete model number and suffix; do not assume variants share every feature.
