Casio is the Toyota of watches

[@SkywalkerPaul]

No. The best watch there is.

[@shaneukken]

Really? I’ve heard people say Seiko is the Toyota of watches and Grand Seiko is the Lexus version

[@shivanshsaxena2527]

​@@shaneukkenwell seikos are more expensive than casios in general and both have great quality and reliability. So seiko is a bit expensive toyota.

[@TheEchelon]

@@shivanshsaxena2527 Seiko's are not expensive. Casios are just cheap.

[@shivanshsaxena2527]

@@TheEchelon bro the starting price of Seiko watches in India is 200$ maybe in your country it's different that's why

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!!

[@indexoptions]

Can’t wait to order this. Such a beautiful, yet simple, time piece.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@mogret7451]

3:50 This is pretty sturdy plastic, there is a video of a guy running over the cheaper f91 several times with his truck. The glass and display broke but the plastic case actually looked like it hold up rather well when he showed the result.

[@TheGalacticEmperorOfLabels]

I now have the A168 WEMB - like this but with the mesh bracelet. Instant favourite in my collection. For those interested, the A1000 is all steel but personally I prefer the look and the price of these 168 variants.

[@exkal215]

I actually like these a lot. My daughter has a Casio collection between the A168’s and F91W’s. Nice vid.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@charlesnorwich5932]

What is special about Casio, is this, they're a budget brand but its watches perform 100 times better than their price suggests. Not to mention its level of finish

[@Yashagrawal47.]

They are like fine 🍷

[@kamaldeepsingh486]

Just ordered this one. It will be my everyday watch. ❤

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

When I was 10 I would’ve considered this high end luxury. 😂 It’s seriously a cool retro piece with some current influences like the “blackout” negative display and gun metal. Neat piece.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching and COMMENTING my friend!!! 👍😄

[@johngamboa999]

I remember you putting up this watch on your community post and I have been looking it up ever since 😂

[@denist7085]

Yep. When we were 10 the 7 melodies no name watch from HonkKong made you a king of the school ) No to say black market price was equal to monthly engineer salary (welcome to USSR 🙂).

[@deanwaller8283]

The a168 range with a stainless case would literally be the greatest watch of all time

[@selenia919]

Good performance, very nice model, if its body was metal it would be great. As a child I had a Casio Universal calendar, and since then for nearly 45 years I have only worn Casio models.

[@TheTownWatch]

Casio is great! Thanks for watching!

[@pscion12]

Nah, I would disagree, to me having it made as plastic and affordable is part of its charm. As sort of a middle finger to expensive watches. What i would like to have, however is bigger digits while maintaining the same size case.

[@TheTownWatch]

Good point! Thanks for watching!

[@pedroalves8369]

[@ernestb.2377]

Like, although I prefer a positive display. I like the simplicity of the dial, compared to a much colorful standard model (I have). Considering now the one you have there and swapping the modules with the classic one. Once you buy these little things you keep buying mode models 😀

[@felo6035]

Very cool piece Josh. Casio makes so many great watches. I have several and very happy with all. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend my friend 👍 🙏👏🙌

[@TheTownWatch]

Yes! Casio is awesome! Appreciate all you support Felo! Send me an email sometime and show me your collection! My email can be found in my "about" section on my page.

[@juliuscastillon9554]

I was going to buy Casio A700 but i saw this and get it i really Love it

[@emerobo]

This watch in all steel would be a market killer IMO. There would be no reason to buy something like a prx 35mm quartz

[@adsagp]

Nice review. I think I would find the negative display hard to read as legibility is important for me. There is the same model but with a positive display, that is the one I would go for. As for the plastic case, I don't think it would be any less fragile than the F-91W which has shown it's toughness. Anyway I have a G-Shock Rangrman 9400 as a tough watch. Thanks for the review.

[@bricomage]

difficult to read in low light w/o backlight on... Negative display is not a good idea but quite nice...

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@adri8907]

This watch is scratch less or scratchable one

[@The........PiKE.........]

Really solar powered? Can you tell me the model number?

[@zahifar3936]

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.

[@Sdivleli]

What's the size of this one ? I checked 159 but it was super small eventho my wrist size is very thin.

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

I just bought this today and I love its versatility.

[@alessandrorighi3379]

What's the difference between 168 1BDF and 168 1BEF?

[@koskey06]

I'm a lover of these Casio watches, I have like 4 diff models that switch wearing everyday. But $70 is just crazy. 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

[@p_dang]

There are two colors in this model one is silver n another one is this gunmetal color soo my skin is fair like yours tho I'm confused which one to buy Can we see negative display under sunlight or normal display is better under sunlight?!

[@TheTownWatch]

The negative display is pretty good on this one in my experience. Thanks for watching.

[@p_dang]

@@TheTownWatch okei thanks bro ✨️

[@TheMertolumert]

I just order one but i wish a titanium model for this. Full titanium, safir screen and full black. pitch black

[@isitchiklu]

Is this watch as good as g shocks because they can bear any attack does there vintage good if we can throw it doesn't have anything?

[@TheTownWatch]

It is not as durable as a G-Shock.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Friend of mine, whos not really into watches, buys these in every case version so he can put the blacked out mvmt in them. Why? I haven't a clue. He just digs it. The cheapness of it probably has something to do with it.😅

[@TheTownWatch]

That's interesting! Especially for someone not into watches! 😅 Thanks for watching friend!

which casio should i get the casio A168WEM-1 or the casio A158WEA-1

[@TheTownWatch]

Up to you!

[@lukthere2]

I feel like the plastic case just makes it more durable. Just like the old phones. All plastic and you didn't care if you droped it from your pocket or from 5 meters.. 😂

[@TheTownWatch]

😅 Thanks for watching!

[@renecabascango6058]

Creo que es el CASIO que más me ha gustado. Me lo compraré 💪

[@denist7085]

Thank you for review 🙂 To me black style looks better. Isnt it? I was thinking classic 168 till I saw this one. PS Strange, but I do not like my 5600 with black screen at all and changing it for classic look. Could be 5600 has screen much deeper hence worse visibility 😱

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching! Totally up to you!

[@Hajun_2109]

Liệu dây đeo của nó có bị trầy hoặc ngả màu bạc theo thời gian không ?. Tôi nghĩ nó sẽ bị trầy và có các vệt trắng trên dây đeo 😢

[@TheTownWatch]

Sorry, I don't understand.

[@arcticfilmsgta3956]

is the a168 recommended for a person with 7 inch wrists? or it will appear to big? should I consider the a158 instead?

[@TheTownWatch]

I think it would fit fine. Thanks for watching!

[@augustogonzales001]

Is a g-shock but i love it. Pluss the bracelet is awesome. Its so light and dont get scratch as I thought. Check the model GWB5600BC

[@TheTownWatch]

Will do! Thanks for watching!

@@okanabdul12 there is a clasp on it so you can easily adjust the size

[@AlecGrinage]

Really wanted to like this watch but the bracelet is a deal breaker. I think I hate it. Constantly either falling off my hand or squeezing my arm to the point it’s digging into my arm and ripping arm hair out. If anyone has any strap options for this watch let me know.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear that! Mine doesn't pull my hair.

[@Ash_18037]

This watch looks awful. The gun metal bracelet doesn't match the gloss case at all, making it look even cheaper. Would look far better if the case was a matte gun metal too. The negative display as usual is terrible for readability unless lighting conditions are perfect. To top it off, it doesn't even have the functionality of the b640 (timer etc). The only good thing is the clear backlight, but get used to changing batteries as you'll be using it all the time in broad daylight.

[@denrudenko7724]

Много уродских часов у Casio и непонятные цены, вот представленная модель из пластика ,вот что так тяжело корпус стальной сделать??и стекло нормальное??Идиотизм делать корпус пластиковый а браслет зато стальной))))
