About this deal

The light button doesn't automatically illuminate the display for two seconds or so, rather it only illuminates it for as long as it's held down. The resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences. The Casio Collection A168WA-1YES is powered by a long-lasting battery, providing reliable performance without the need for frequent replacements. Its durable construction ensures that it can withstand regular wear and tear, making it a reliable timepiece for long-term use. It’s an overall simple watch on the functionality front. However, it has more to offer than basic analog watches double its price like the Timex Weekender. Construction The watch does have a pretty basic water resistant rating at 30m. 30m or 3 bar as it’s also known, make this watch suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and fishing. Casio A168W-1 Watch Specifications

However, I think the fact that people have this expectation is a testament to its efficient design and reliability. Some A168WA pros include affordable brand recognition, reliability, a quintessential retro style, lightweight wear, and excellent function and design for its price. The digital face itself doesn’t take up too much room, which gives this color scheme the spotlight. As mentioned, the case isn’t real metal, but it’s pretty reflective and legible at all angles, even at night. It certainly looks like an affordable watch, but it doesn’t look like it’s cheaper than it is.Overall, its size doesn’t draw attention, but it’s well-designed and certainly esteemed by discerning watch enthusiasts. Final Thoughts As mentioned, it has crossover appeal and that includes respect from high-end collectors. Perhaps they love the A168WA-1 because it reminds them of their first digital watch, or perhaps it’s the fact that this Casio visually encapsulates a whole defining era of technology.

If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. I like how the bracelet graduates into the watch face for a clean silhouette because it adds to the sleek vintage aesthetic. Moreover, the hook and bar deployment clasp makes the watch easy to take on and off, as an everyday beater should be. I love the A168WA’s sleek and retro digital design. Vintage fans and the nostalgic are its main audience, but it has plenty of crossover appeal. Men with small wrists who are looking for an affordable digital watch love it. The strap is made of a silver metal and fastens with a clip over style clasp. These are quite popular as they’re very easy to adjust the size of. It measures about 18mm wide going well with the casing sizes.

Some notes about features of off the top of my head that I don't know if I've heard of before or not (exception being the fake test): After a “prime” amount of time the Casio A168WA arrived. I unboxed it and then stared at it. It was so much different than my many mechanical tool watches. My mind raced for nostalgia as I struggled for a connection. I needed help. Those who simply need an understated reliable timepiece love it. It’s also popular among the techy set, the hip and ironic crowd, and collectors with high-end tastes who appreciate a watch with heritage and lore, price aside.

One notable feature of the Casio Collection A168WA-1YES is its water resistance. With a rating of up to 30 meters, it can withstand light splashes and brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for swimming or diving. Following the success of this model, Casio released the A168. I guess this was designed as its direct replacement, given the visual similarities. In fact, let’s start by covering the clear similarities between the two. The thinner links do make it more flexible and adjustable. Though I should mention that some men have complained about hair pulling.

Manual

Themany functions featured on the watch include alarms, a weekdayand date displayas well asa stopwatch. Housed within the watches is what I believe to be the same movement; though the watches do vary somewhat in terms of functionality. I don’t regularly wear watches and tried out the Casio A168 for a few days. The casing of the watch was plain on purpose and has no frills. It even has an old school “light” button. I like the concept and the simplicity behind the design but feel that it could have done more. As such a simple watch, the chromed paneling looks and feels cheap. It didn’t feel good on my (albeit small) wrist. Personally, a watch this simple should have a more simple design for being outside in any condition. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy wearing the watch as a person who doesn’t wear watches every day, so I’ll be waiting for a different watch to incorporate into my everyday life.” This Retro Casio watch is a little more expensive than the previous models, and with that comes a better quality glass. The watch has a mineral crystal glass that gives you a good level of scratch resistant, as well as being fairly shatter resistant too. During the “Quartz Revolution” in the 1970s, Casio expanded and became one of the first brands to create quartz watches which solidified the brand as an innovator in horological society. The brand’s timepieces are affordable and long-wearing, making them a favourite to both enthusiasts and everyday people. With the large variety of wristwatches and their commitment to progress, it is no surprise Casio has remained amongst the giants in the industry.

I wore this Casio this watch drinking in the city [New York] over the weekend. I didn’t use it to tell time or anything, because I use my phone. It was just like whatever. But I didn’t lose it. Nobody really said anything about it because it was under my sleeve. A168 arrived today, and it looks a tad different from the ones I've seen online. Mainly the addition of the "Water WR Resist" at the bottom. Can someone tell me if this is just a redesign or European variant, or if it's a fake? The daily alarm reminds you of events that recur every day, by emitting an audible signal at the set time. As far as water resistance, some guys have told me that they’ve safely showered with this watch on. I’d avoid this if you want to play it safe though, especially if you take long hot showers.I bought a Casio A168 and an F-91W (latter yet to arrive) from: https://www.zalando.no/casio-a168wa-1yes-sportsklokker-solv-c15-dzw-0021-99.html The Casio Collection A168WA-1YES is a wristwatch designed for both men and women.
