Casio AW-48 Ana-Digi watch

The more I cover, the more I realise I don't understand the numbering system of Casio. Some of the numbers such as DB being data bank watches os obvious, but the AW range today is more of a mystery as it covers different styles of watches from many ranges, but they are all Ana-Digi models (but not all Ana-Digi models are AWs).

This model is the AW-48H by Casio, and seems to be the variant AW-48HE-8A. It is a small and light resin case Ana-Digi watch with a resin strap (part number 642 EA1 16 PUR). The analogue display is an electronic 2 hand dial which is set using a button on the right side. The two buttons on the left control the digital display which is a 6 digit LCD. The watch uses a 3321 module, and has dual time, alarm, and stopwatch modes. Strangely, the top button is the mode and the bottom is the adjust which feels the wrong way around.

It seems that this watch has been produced for a while with other variations still on sale (with a numbered dial rather than using shiny markers like this variation). Saying that, I don't know when this watch is actually from.

  1. I think that the "W" in the name is used for Water resistant minimum to 50 meters. "A" i for analogic. If you think of a W-59 it's 50m water resistant, while F-91 or F-105 or so on are only WR.
