    I found two model numbers for this watch, the CASIO A168WGG-1BDF & the CASIO A168WGG-1BVT. These have a little higher MSRP price and are getting harder to find. I've really enjoyed the "stealth" "blacked out" "gun metal" look of this watch. I hope you like this full review video of this great little Casio digital watch.

    **Important Note**
    I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
    Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
    The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
    The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
    Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
    In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
    "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

    It’s one of the best in Casio ‘s vintage series wrist watch. Fantastic review. I was gonna get it but the plastic case was a let down. Nevertheless the negative display and backlight are awesome. Casio has a positive display with same gunmetal bracelet but somehow I feel the negative one is more funky. Been a big fan of Casio digital watch since my school days. F91-W was my first Casio. I hope they make this one in Stainless Steel /metal case soon!!

  • @zahifar3936
    @zahifar3936 8 месяцев назад

    Great concise video! I’ve also been somewhat put down by the fact that the casing is made of resin on those Casio watches and even on the Timex equivalents. But with Timex there’s one T80 model that does have a stainless steel case. Comes in two colours: silver and gold. Has a positive display. Retails for some 110$. Have inquired about it at my local Timex agent and waiting for reply. But if it turns out not to be available, that Casio that I noticed just less than an hour ago, while searching for a ‘dressy’ digital watch, is my second choice, and is available where I am. I might even say it’s my first choice despite the resin case because it’s quite the looker.
    Although the casing doesn’t have a matte finish like the bracelet. Would have to see how I feel about that with the watch in front of me.
    And what I like about it is that the whole screen illuminates. On cheaper versions of those vintage Casios, there’s only one light in a corner of the screen that fades as it travels to the other corner. Not sharp.
    That Timex T80 also has the entire screen illuminating.

And I do wish they would just make all there plastic metal looking watches in real metal for people like me who wear them everyday. Even tho I have had mine for like 3 years and they still look good....just once the battery dies, your better off spending the $20 to get another one cuz in 5 years I'm sure it won't look good being plastic
