Casio Men's Digital Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet

Product Information

You can use the bottom left pusher to cycle through the watch’s various operations. First is the alarm function. Then the stopwatch, which is pretty intuitive-start/stop on the right and reset on the top left. Finally, you get to where you can set the date and time.

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 Some cons include its plastic construction, average water resistance, and potential hair-pulling from the bracelet’s thin links.The thinner links do make it more flexible and adjustable. Though I should mention that some men have complained about hair pulling. I’ve certainly been guilty of minor watch snobbery. For me, much of it has revolved around ‘fashion’ watches and the brands hawking them. I’m also a believer in being patient when I invest in something. I appreciate quality and craftsmanship, not only in watches but in other things I buy as well. Steam can sneak its way into the inner workings of the watch, and 30m of water resistance doesn’t protect from prolonged moisture exposure.

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

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.

The watch case of the A158WA-1DF is made of durable resin material, contributing to its overall sturdiness and longevity. This material provides resistance against everyday wear and tear, making it suitable for regular usage. A downside to the watch is that it only has a 30m water resistance rating. A 30m or 3 Bar rating makes this watch suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and fishing.

Sometimes, when people first get a taste of higher-end timepieces, they fall into the trap of looking down on cheap ones. If you’re not splashing a lot of cash, what’s the point? The watch isn’t worth your time or money. The irony, though, is I bought this for the bracelet and not watch itself. The bracelet makes a great substitute for another bracelet on another watch, moving that watch closer to looking like the real thing. Why I Love It So Much 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 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.

This watch features many of the popular extras you find on most retro Casio timepieces and more. There’s the stopwatch, alarm, date display, chronograph, lap timer, 24 hour time display, and light up display. On the dial is a crisp LCD screen displaying the time-hours, minutes, and running seconds. You can also use the pusher on the right to toggle between 12 and 24-hour time. Above the time, between the hours and minutes, you have the day of the week. The date sits over to the right above the seconds. However, I think the fact that people have this expectation is a testament to its efficient design and reliability. Housed within the watches is what I believe to be the same movement; though the watches do vary somewhat in terms of functionality.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. Really the best part about this watch-other than the price point-is the way it looks. It’s got a great retro style and feel, which if you grew up in the 80s like me, gets those nostalgia juices flowing. Why Did I Buy This Watch? 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. The linked bracelet is stainless steel as well. One interesting point to note is the contrast between the brushed appearance of the bracelet and the polished look of the case. Some may find it a little weird, but I think it’s a nice contrast and adds subtle visual interest. Powering the watch is a common Japanese quartz movement. Quartz movements are popular due to their accuracy and reliability requiring very little in the way of maintenance.
