Casio Collection Unisex Adults Watch A168WA

Product Information

Themany functions featured on the watch include alarms, a weekdayand date displayas well asa stopwatch. If you have a generously-sized wrist and often go for larger round watches, you might consider the A168WA for the superior ergonomics it provides. Watch sizing can only be generally carried out on watches with metal bracelets, steel, titanium, gold, etc. 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. 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.

I couldn’t help but feel like I was missing out on some form of nostalgia the watch was designed to induce in Gen Xers, or hipster irony that might appeal to Millennials. Maybe I’m just too much of a pragmatist. But ultimately I thought the Casio was a low frills, neutral looking watch that could be worn with almost anything, anytime. If only I was so inclined!”The daily alarm reminds you of events that recur every day, by emitting an audible signal at the set time. 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.

The watch mechanism is electronic, ensuring precise timekeeping. The LCD dial provides clear and easy-to-read information, including the time, date, and other relevant functions. This is really similar but is slightly newer and features some upgraded features. So, in this post, I thought we’d compare the two, so you can decide which may suit your needs the best. I’ll also reveal which of these I’ll be wearing moving forward.Made from stainless steel, both the case and band of the watch are durable and resistant to corrosion. This ensures the watch remains in good condition even with regular use. The Casio A168WA-1YES is an electronic bracelet watch with a rectangular stainless steel case and band. The watch features an LCD dial with Arabic numerals as the marker style. Its design can be described as casual. If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost.

Some A168WA pros include affordable brand recognition, reliability, a quintessential retro style, lightweight wear, and excellent function and design for its price. 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. ConstructionTechnical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes. At the heart of the A168W-1 is a Japanese quartz movement. This is a reliable and accurate movement that requires very little maintenance to stay running for years. Some cons include its plastic construction, average water resistance, and potential hair-pulling from the bracelet’s thin links. Many say it isn’t ideal for men with bigger wrists but I think it’s a matter of taste. Since vintage watches are expected to be smaller, I think the A168WA looks great on most men.

I’d say the display on the A158 is slightly clearer and, in person, is definitely easier to see from different angles. I’m unsure why this is the case, as you’d expect them to be the same. 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.

Manual

The quartz movement is obviously reliable. According to Casio, it has an accuracy of +/- 30 seconds per month, which is better than any budget mechanical. Bonus points for its seven-year battery life, and that it won’t need much maintenance in those years. Functions and Capabilities Since this was anything but a typical TBWS formatted review, I’m going to make my assessment very simple: In my opinion, this watch’s cons or par for the course in this price range (hair-pulling aside). However, the pros punch far above its price-point’s weight class. The Casio Collection A168WA-1YES is a wristwatch designed for both men and women. With a classic silver-tone stainless steel band, it has a sleek and stylish appearance that is suitable for various occasions. The watch features a digital display that shows the time and date, making it easy to read and use. Elapsed time, split time and final time are measured with 1/100-sec accuracy. The watch can measure times of up to 1 hour.
