    My thoughts on the Casio A168, and the reasons why I think it's an ideal $29 one watch collection. At the very least, in this review, I go over why you'd want to consider it as your first watch because of the versatility and the build. I love the design, I love the functions, I love the watch!

    For those that prefer the F91W, the A158 uses the same module, 593, but has a steel band.

    For many years it was my only watch in my collection. Always liked its electroluminiscent light.
    From last year I started collecting watches &
    I bought a second one.
    The old one is still works and I haven't changed the battery in 8 years, But it's all beat up.
    You can't never go wrong with an A168w.
    Nice & quick review.

    • @stevealicioustime

      Absolutely! I don't know why a lot of watches have gone back to an amber light, but I love the EL even still today! Great watch! Thanks for watching!

    I have an A168 in my collection with a silver dial which I really do enjoy wearing from time to time. The dial acts like a mirror which can be distractive at times in very bright sunlight. A really great watch for the price though and perfect as an everyday watch. It is water resistant to 50M which is much better than the 30M of other Casio watches under £30.

    I ordered an A168 and an MTGM900, they get here tomorrow! I’ve been using my GW-S5000U but I work outdoors and the small scuffs the carbon fiber strap were hurting me, so I needed an everyday beater, which is what the MTGM900 will be. I’m excited!

    I have about a dozen watches, including a couple that are pretty pricey, and still my $21 A168 gets a surprising amount of wrist time. It's a great watch. Retro fun notwithstanding, it's just a straight-up good looking one too. AND it's a Hollywood watch! James Bond has the Omega, but Wonder Woman has the A168 (Steve Trevor gives her one in WW84). Good enough for Wonder Woman? Good enough for me.

    Classic watch, but I feel like “the only watch you need” would have a countdown timer. In fact it absolutely blows my mind how many digital watches don’t.

      @Solitaire001 4 месяца назад +1

      I agree that adding a countdown time would be a welcome addition to this watch. However, it is a minor quibble for me. To me, this watch is basically perfect. It does everything that I need a watch to do.

    They keep telling me that this is a hipster's watch!! Hell, when I was first wearing it, nobody knew what a "hipster" is! 😂😂😂
    I just re-bought it today and it brings back wonderful memories. It is a piece of horological history, just like other iconic Casio models: F91W, CA53W (the calculator watch) or 5600 series.
    Excellent video, as well!
