Casio Men's Vintage A168WA-1 Electro Luminescence Watch

This is VERY cool, BUT it is VERY small. The bracelet probably has enough length to be comfortable up to an 8” wrist, but the face is only 31mm. Smaller than even the smallest men’s watches. The price is great, the style is great, the function is perfect, even the light up function is awesome, it’s just so slim and small.

I bought this watch in August, 2019 and wore it daily until today. It never ever skipped a beat. I love this watch for all the reasons written in other reviews. But, I killed the start stop button and now cannot reset it to standard time. Over the summer I was doing some painting with a harsh paint over rust paint that is infamously messy and very persistent. I accidentally soaked the watch in it, as a result of paint dripping on it and was unable to get it out of the buttons. So today, I ordered a replacement - an a158 because the 168 is on backorder. Love the price, simplicity, reliability and sisu-level toughness of this awesome watch.

Love the style. Just need to take it somewhere to get the band adjusted. Otherwise, I would recommend. Good value.

A classic.Excellent watch. One of the best designs ever made, in my opinion. Light weight, extremely easy to resize the band. Only downside is that it pinches my arm hair but all metal watch bands do.

a great high rated casio watch. very reasonable price,,amazon rufus helped me pick a good quality watch at a reasonable price, i have large wrists, this watch is 7 and half closed open clasp 11 inches,. rufus said it will fit. it did fit nicely.most bands are to short. i love this watch. thank you amazon rufus. great for school students, or college

I've been wearing the Casio A168WA‑1 for a few weeks now, and it’s a solid pick if you're looking for a nostalgic, budget-friendly digital watch. Its retro styling, complete with chromed bezel and black resin strap, evokes that classic 80s vibe—great if you're aiming for a vintage aesthetic. The stainless steel casing feels surprisingly sturdy and lightweight, making it comfortable for daily wear. The adjustable resin strap fits most wrists well, though on larger wrists it can look a tad undersized. The iconic amber backlight does its job, although it's not as bright or long-lasting as modern LED lights — adequate for checking the time in dimly lit environments, but nothing to write home about. Functionality-wise, it covers all the basics: timekeeping, hourly chime, stopwatch, and an alarm. The watch keeps decent time—Casio rates it at ±30 seconds per month, and that's about where it's landed in my hands. A real plus is the long battery life; mine’s gone strong for well over two years so far. That said, it’s not without its downsides. The small display font takes some getting used to, especially for quick glances. And the light button feels a bit too flat and stiff—pressing it isn’t always intuitive, especially if you're in a hurry. Water resistance is minimal (splash-proof only), so it’s not built for showering, swimming, or even heavy perspiration. Overall, the Casio A168WA‑1 packs in charming retro style, basic yet reliable functions, and legendary longevity—all for a low price. If you want a lightweight, no-frills digital watch with vintage flair, it’s worth a 7 out of 10.

Yes, the style is a classic. But, this is just a great watch. Not bulky, no nonsense. Just a great watch. Yes, it is 2026, and this style is from back then. But, back then, things actually worked. I hope this watch will continue where the old models started. I highly recommend this watch!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: i love the old school Casio watches - well made, waterproof, display lit well when needed, looks great to my liking, a lot better than the hyped up watches. It's affordable such that when the battery dies i'd just get a new one. love it. Fit: great range of adjustability Watch quality: top notch. Functionality: display lit up well. alarm is easy to set. Accuracy: can't beat digital watch accuracy for sure

It's the real deal, press the start/stop button on bottom right side for a few seconds while in time mode and the watch will display Casio. At the 6 o'clock position, below the blue outline is a 'u'. Everything looks great, sorry I took the photos using my Pixel 2 XL in one hand and not in the best lighting. The metal strap is very thin stainless steel and light weight, 30m water resistance is good enough for a splash of water (washing your hands or dishes). It's a great first watch for kids and adults who wants a light, simple, easy to read display and a watch that is under the radar. The elecro luminescent display is very bright at night, too bad that it doesn't have the afterglow function or function to change the light duration to 1.5s or 3.0s after you press the light button. The watch even have drilled lugs! If you want a retro 80's style watch, get this!

I've just dug this out of my drawer tonight and realised that I bought this 12 years ago... and yes it's still running on the same battery! Now I'll be honest, I very rarely wear this watch which probably helps battery longevity (e.g. not using watch functions and light). It's also much too small/light for my wrist (my daily is a 43mm auto so this Casio is tiny compared and feels it), however I can't knock the watch for this as it's a genuine retro classic and I hope they manufacture watches like this forever! As long you're happy with the smaller size, you can never go wrong with this watch, it's up there with the very best based on design, value, mass appeal and just utter retro coolness.

Muy bonito, excelente se observa que es original, me gustó y lo recomiendo

Relógio de ótima qualidade e muito bonito. Meu maior medo era a pulseira ficar prendendo nos pelos do braço, porém depois de quase duas semanas de uso constante isso não aconteceu nenhuma vez.

チプカシの中でも一番のお気に入りです。 運動や汚れる作業の時は別モデルですが、日常的に一番使っています！ レトロな雰囲気と格安、好みです。
