A.P.C.'s little Casio AQ-240 is a collaboration I can get behind

The silver and dark green A.P.C. Casio is a pretty good-looking little watch. The rounded rectangular shape, the narrow digital display and the fairly quiet dial make it feel like something I could wear without thinking about the collaboration every time I looked down. I'd give the pair 83 out of 120 bezel clicks, with the silver one comfortably my preference.

Casio America announced these on November 11, 2026. AQ240EAC-3A is the silver-and-green execution at $110; AQ240EGAC-9A is the gold-colored execution at $135. They share the AQ-240 platform, so the finish and dial choices stay together on this page. Current US stock and a completed checkout have not been verified.

A small display with room around it

The hands occupy most of the face, with a thin digital window crossing the lower half. I like the proportions of that window. It gives the watch its analog-digital identity without turning the dial into a dashboard. A.P.C.'s name is small enough that the Casio shape still comes first for me.

The green looks particularly good with the silver-colored case and steel bracelet. The gold version is more conspicuous, and I don't like it quite as much in the supplied photographs. I'd want to see the finish in ordinary light before deciding whether that warmer color feels pleasant or a little too shiny.

Casio's listed case dimensions are 40.9 mm long, 35.8 mm wide and 8.1 mm thick, with a weight of 51 grams. The case is resin with a plated finish; the stainless-steel bracelet doesn't make this an all-steel watch. At this price I can accept the material choice, but I'd rather know it clearly than assume a silver-colored case must be solid metal.

Straightforward quartz convenience

The analog and digital combination provides dual time, a stopwatch and an alarm. Casio specifies an SR920W battery with an approximate three-year life, and resin glass. I wouldn't expect the same resistance to scratches as sapphire. For a small everyday watch, the appeal to me is the shape and convenience rather than an expensive list of materials.

The product information calls it water resistant without establishing a depth rating in the material used here. I wouldn't translate that into a swimming recommendation. I also haven't tried the adjustable clasp or checked whether the bracelet catches hair, which can matter rather more than the appearance suggests on an inexpensive metal bracelet.

The chart uses the $110 silver model's announced US price, checked November 12, and retains the $135 gold option alongside it. Japanese presale and release dates reported elsewhere aren't being treated as US delivery dates. Before ordering, I'd confirm the local seller, return terms and actual availability; the green dial is worth seeing clearly enough to judge its contrast against those hands.
