| Casio’s new MQ-24 watches |
Casio has just expanded its Singapore online store with four fresh additions to the beloved MQ-24 family. The catch? They all come with durable stainless steel straps while keeping the iconic resin casing.
For watch enthusiasts who love the no-fuss charm of Casio’s analog MQ-24 series but wished for a more premium feel on the wrist, your wait might be over. The brand has quietly listed four new variants under the MQ-24D and MQ-24G ranges, and the headline feature is unmistakable: a sleek metal bracelet replacing the classic resin band.
Meet the Newcomers: Silver and Gold Options
As spotted on Casio’s official Singapore e-store, the lineup includes both subtle and statement-making designs. If you prefer a clean, uniform look, the Casio MQ-24DA-1A (black dial), MQ-24DA-2A (blue dial), and MQ-24DA-3A (green dial) each feature a silver-toned case matched with a silver stainless steel strap.
For those wanting a touch of warmth, the Casio MQ-24GA-1A stands out with its black dial and a gold ion-plated band, offering a two-tone aesthetic that punches above its weight class.

Under the Hood: Same Reliable Simplicity
Don’t let the new metal outfit fool you—inside, this is still the ultra-reliable, minimalist MQ-24 we know and love. The watch retains a resin casing (which keeps weight down) paired with a stainless steel strap featuring an adjustable clasp.
Key specs remain true to the series:
- Dimensions: 38.8 x 34.9 x 7.8 mm (that’s roughly 1.53 x 1.37 x 0.31 inches), making it ideal for small to medium wrists.
- Weight: A light 45 grams (about 1.59 oz).
- Accuracy: ±20 seconds per month.
- Battery Life: Approximately three years on a standard SR626SW cell.
- Water Resistance: Standard everyday water resistance (splash and rain ready, but no swimming).
The dial itself carries the minimalist sunray finish that fans adore, with three simple hands and raised indexes that match the case color.
Singapore Pricing and Availability
Here’s the best part for local shoppers: All four models are priced at just S$69 (~$54 USD). That’s remarkably affordable for a quartz analog watch with a metal bracelet from a heritage brand like Casio.
The product listings currently label the watches as “coming soon,” with no exact release date pinned down yet. It also remains unclear whether Singapore is the first market to get these or if a wider global rollout—including Casio’s home market of Japan—will follow.
Should You Wait for One?
If you’ve been hunting for an everyday beater watch that looks dressier than a standard plastic F-91W but doesn’t break the bank, these new MQ-24 models hit a sweet spot. The combination of a lightweight resin body (no freezing cold metal on skin in air-conditioned rooms) with the durability and appearance of a stainless steel bracelet is rare at this S$69 price point.
Given Casio’s track record, these will likely sell out quickly once they go live. Your best bet? Keep an eye on the Casio Singapore online store over the next few weeks.
In short: Casio has refreshed its entry-level analog lineup with four metal-strap MQ-24 watches in Singapore. Prices start at S$69, and they are listed as “coming soon.” A silver-black, silver-blue, silver-green, and a gold-black variant are on offer.
