Casio and A.P.C. have returned to the AQ-240 with two deliberately simple finishes: silver and deep green, or full gold tone. Both keep the same compact analogue-digital layout and functions, so the real decision is which finish fits your wardrobe.
Casio America lists the AQ240EAC-3A at USD 110 and the AQ240EGAC-9A at USD 135. They are due through Casio, G-SHOCK and A.P.C. stores from 17 November 2026. UAE pricing and availability have not been confirmed.
The quick choice
| Reference | Finish | Official US price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AQ240EAC-3A | Silver tone, deep green dial | USD 110 | Everyday wear |
| AQ240EGAC-9A | Full gold tone | USD 135 | Stronger dressy look |
AQ240EAC-3A: the easier everyday option
The silver-green AQ240EAC-3A is the easier everyday choice. The cool case and bracelet keep it close to a normal steel watch, while the dark dial gives the collaboration enough identity without making every outfit about the watch.
Its USD 110 price converts to about AED 403.98 at the USD/AED 3.6725 reference rate checked on 13 November 2026. That is an indicative conversion, not UAE retail.
AQ240EGAC-9A: warmer and less subtle
The gold version is the obvious choice if the finish is the point. It is visually louder than the silver model, but the plain dial and slim rectangular LCD keep it from becoming cluttered. Its official US price is USD 135, about AED 495.79 at the same dated reference rate.
What both watches share
Both references measure 40.9 × 35.8 × 8.1 mm and weigh 51 g. Casio lists a resin case, stainless-steel adjustable bracelet, resin glass and everyday water resistance. The display combines two analogue hands with a small digital screen.
- Dual time
- 1/100-second stopwatch
- Daily alarm and hourly signal
- Automatic calendar
- 12/24-hour display
- About three years on an SR920W battery
Verdict: silver for flexibility, gold for the look
Choose the AQ240EAC-3A if you want the collaboration details in a watch that can pass as a compact steel everyday model. Choose the AQ240EGAC-9A if you specifically want the warmer full-gold finish and do not mind paying USD 25 more. The functions are effectively the same, so there is no technical reason to pay extra.
