Casio Collection Unisex Adults Watch A168WA

Product Information

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 It sports a fun and retro design, a versatile case size, and easily-operated functionalities. An update of A158WA, this timepiece is effectively and universally reminiscent of 80s and 90s technology as an era.

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 A168WA is legible in the darkest situations thanks to its thin, lightweight, and flexible Electro Luminescent panels. EL panels use minimal power consumption (one of the reasons that the battery lasts so long) and are so durable, they work even after being punctured. 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.

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. 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 CapabilitiesCasio sources their parts from their factories all over this South East Asia region, hence the Cambodia bracelet does not suprise me eventhough I myself just realized about this, so thanks Skeptical Seems nowadays all A168s are assembled in China DH factory I guess. Dial Digital display. The window lens is made of mineral crystal glass which is specially hardened to offer a good level of scratch resistance 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. Méretek: 32x10 mm Nem: uniszex Meghajtás: Quartz (elem) Kristályüveg: műanyag A tok műanyag A számlap: digitális A számlap színe: LCD A tok színe ezüst Az óra formája: szögletes A szíj: rozsdamentes acél A szíj színe: ezüst Típus: divatos, retro Dátum: igen 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!”
