- For multiple months this #casio has been the most purchased mens watch on Amazon, but I'm curious as to why that is.
**I know in the video I called it the 158W, but it is the 168** Interestingly enough, my caliper measurements have it somewhere in the middle between the two, a technically the 158 is the better selling watch, but overall the points are the same.

It's so iconic, it has lots of character, there's no other whatcha that looks like that unless is another Casio. It's just fun to have something practical, durable, cheap but retro sci-fi looking.
Here’s my two cents.
There’s a big difference between watch aficionados and people who just want to know the time. The first group is tiny and second group is huge. The first group cares about wrist presence, the second group wants to be able to forget they’re wearing a watch until they need to know the time.
I got into watches two years ago, and have watches ranging from 36mm-44mm, divers, dress watches, field watches, quartz, mechanical, etc. I’ve tried nearly every kind of strap or bracelet out there.
After all that time and money spent, the conclusion I’ve come to is that most watches don’t hack it as dailies. They’re too bulky and uncomfortable. I’m seriously considering getting a cheap plastic Casio three hander because I don’t want to tighten a strap like a tourniquet in order to keep a heavy watch from sliding on my wrist.
Casio is a clever company. They give you a watch that has everything you need and nothing that you don’t, that looks good, at a great price.
I think that’s a very logical and likely correct way to look at it
Im 56, each time I look at it I smile and remember teen me lying in bed playing with the buttons at night listening to John Peel on Radio 1.
You cant buy that! 😁
This is a banger of a watch! Gets attention outside and compliments. Casio is the most loved watch brand around the world 😀
Very true
If you're going to get an affordable watch, why not get an classic, iconic watch?
- not going to dive with it
- some other youtuber puts it in nearly 200m pressure to kill it
I just love these cheap Casios
This is just a great looking watch I have one in my collection. To me the size of the watch on your wrist looks perfect. 👍
I was surprised by how not little it felt on compared to how it looks off the wrist
I’m actually wearing this watch right now. Great piece. Inexpensive and easily replaceable if broken.
Wonder if that’s part of their sales numbers, people just rebuying rather than worry about fixing. Could almost just get a new one vs buy batteries to change out
This watch can do it all, it can be dress, sports,and field,make no mistake,you absolutely CAN swim with this on,there is no situation it isn't able to handle.
Its small, WITHOUT being TOO small,it has a very cool retro vibe without being ironic,its a timeless design,in the same way a cartier tank is a timeless design.
Its cheap but in a weird way doesnt FEEL cheap,it weighs nothing and yet it has a real wrist presence.
Its more accurate and tougher than any luxury "tool" watch you can think of,no rolex can take the beating this can take,you dont have to worry about it and yet it takes care of every watch need you have.
In other words its damn near perfect,the only thing id change is the case to a true stainless case,other than that? Why mess with something this cool?
Pretty well said!

Here's why I believe this watch is so revered. It has multiple functions to it, it has the EL backlight which is awesome, the bracelet does pull hair sometimes but looks nice with the watch itself, it's retro design is fantastic. This was actually my first watch in early 90s minus the EL BACKLIGHT. It had the little light node. It's sleek and seems more expensive than it is. Basically, more bang for your buck. I too collect watches but this one is special to me for nostalgia reasons. Walmart has them for usually $21 to $22. For all that you get it's a great value.
i have one. very simple, vintage, retro design, and cool watch, light.. very legible screen, love it.
I love mine even if I don't wear it all the time. Extremely comfortable and I usually wear it when I'm doing something where my watch might get damaged.
I love to beat all my watches to crap lol
Great piece and I am wearing this watch right now. I think is well made and the band is very comfortable along with the fact it looks good for most occasions. It just a good value for the money. I have about 14 watches and this one will be with my collection for many years to come.
Also i own the actual F91-W along with the baby brother which has illumination and the big brother as well they are awesome watches for me 👍👍
(i have the f 105 w)
what most of these casios have that nearly nobody is pointing out is the
good readable digits for their small size.
i even dont use the el untill it is real dark.
also i like that u dont really feel these watches on the wrist, they are so small and light.
the design is of course a big reason , too.
Actually i have that one,and the other one with the gold face and the actual gold one,they are awesome watches to me i give them thumbs up 👍👍
Daily driving for 8 months
Thoughts?
@@NotAnotherWatchChannel wonderful, people do notice the watch and ask about it. I live in Delhi, India
Smart watches brought the style back probably.
Casio is still a branded watch and luxury for me as a student who have to relay on parents for everything 😅
On wrist A168 really has some millennial looks, resembles the watch our parents use to wear. A Classic and timeless design for a watch. ❤❤
Clearly it’s a chic MAGNET!
Classic.
I guess this is the 168w and not 158w
You are correct! I said the wrong one, but my measurements are from calipers so interesting that falls between what they two are said to be
lol man is vexed
Not really
