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. 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.

In keeping with the most dominant trends, this timepiece from Casio is punctuated with a square, edgy case and is complete with a day and date display window. 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. Firstly, I think the watch feels better than the newer version. It has a better size to weight ratio, meaning the watch feels proportionally more substantial. With the Casio A168, the watch is bigger but isn’t much heavier, making it seem less dense on-wrist.Some cons include its plastic construction, average water resistance, and potential hair-pulling from the bracelet’s thin links. 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. Overall, its size doesn’t draw attention, but it’s well-designed and certainly esteemed by discerning watch enthusiasts. Final Thoughts 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. However, I think the fact that people have this expectation is a testament to its efficient design and reliability.

If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. 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.Some A168WA pros include affordable brand recognition, reliability, a quintessential retro style, lightweight wear, and excellent function and design for its price.
