Only Watch You Need - Casio A168 Review!

[@stevealicioustime]

Let me know if you own one!

[@davidlocke1668]

Mine arrived today, Casio bug got me

[@HGates-hl4eq]

I used to have one years ago. I ruined it by swimming with it. I found a new one at Walmart on sale for $15.00. I love it for nostalgia aspect. 👍

[@cone2724]

I got my first casio ever a168 today

[@l-dot5848]

I have one!

[@Noobin3358]

I got one today

[@gyges5495]

The a700, a158 and the a168 are all awesome - when comparing those three the a700 comes up first (excellent legibility from any angle, thinnest watch ever). The a168 is a bit blocky so if you like Minecraft this is for you. The a158 backlight is horrible bit a great watch. Overall they are great - get them all they are cheap enough! Love them all

[@jalenjohnson6187]

This watch is very underrated

[@stevealicioustime]

Absolutely! Especially for the price!

[@Angelos_92]

I Love casio especially this piece.

[@albert09]

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!

[@billtinnell2206]

I've got this 168,158,and the super thin 700. The 700 is the best of all of them! I've also replaced the watch bands on all of them to an adjustable, expladable band that makes them a snap to put on and take off.

[@gyges5495]

So true the 700 is the best legibility of any digital watch

[@edwardkeeter762]

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.

[@machfront]

Said it on other channels but this watch is one of my faves, especially winter as it looks perfect with a black pea coat! Great balance between sleek, and tough and practical….just like a pea coat!

[@WATCH-4U]

Totally agree this is casios one watch collection has everything you need like the F91-W with added better EL light.... Mind you i have lots a vintage casios lol fav being the A700 for me ...But what an iconic piece this is... Great review of a ONE WATCH COLLECTION !!!

[@KingFozzie1]

Rocked an A700 for a couple of weeks, gave it away to a friend because she likes how thin that one is and my A168 should be coming in today. Thanks for your video!

[@stevealicioustime]

You will enjoy it!!

[@150FreeShrugs]

Are you still glad you bought the 168?

[@KingFozzie1]

@@150FreeShrugs yes very much! It’s my go to whenever I want a break from a smart watch

[@OhJodi69]

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

[@gyges5495]

And the 158 is a great looking watch

[@rm9sbg93zxjzg]

I got this today and is cool, wish it had a timer like the 3294 modules. I might start collecting squares since diving in the automatic watches was boring.

[@ednammansfield8553]

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.

[@tngchinghwa]

that model is really hard to find, been looking for it

[@dennyterrio1942]

A friend of mine wears this one and he does actual cowboy stuff-horses, roping cows, herding stuff, ranching., as well as Field and Stream level outdoorsy stuff. Can't go wrong then... Yee Haw!

[@stevealicioustime]

Absolutely!

[@codrupaun8070]

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!

[@stevealicioustime]

Thanks for watching!

[@adsagp]

Good video, looks very versatile. I'll probably be getting one of these.

[@OhJodi69]

I have the A168WE, which has a gorgeous oxblood face and plaid band. My first Casio! And now I have five Casios, LOL

[@tundra75]

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!

[@150FreeShrugs]

Still enjoying the 168?

[@tundra75]

@@150FreeShrugs it’s still in the collection, but my collection has grown two about 13 watches now so it doesn’t see much wrist time now

[@connorjensen9699]

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.

[@stevealicioustime]

That's true, more than you think don't have it!

[@Solitaire001]

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.

[@sanjtreks]

you can always set the alarm as a countdown effect

[@dsous4704]

I have one. It's a really nice watch at a very reasonable price 👌

[@stevealicioustime]

Definitely! Hard to beat for under $25.

[@edward-rist]

I have an A168 in my collection. I agree, it's a simple but elegant and functional watch. Even James Bond could wear this watch. I think, it just looks a bit small on a large wrist.

[@stevealicioustime]

Yep! Fits in almost everywhere!

[@deanwaller8283]

Wear it looser and it fits way better

[@LamarFaciane]

You mentioned tennis players wearing Casios, Serena Williams wore a ca53w for her last match at the U.S. Open. ✌🏽

[@gyges5495]

The a158 is nice too - not as blocky

[@janiyota6576]

I have both A158 and A168, I swapped their bracelets, and surprisingly, they look even better now, both of them.

[@stevealicioustime]

I'll have to take a look at that!

[@benboomer5632]

Just ordered one this week… love the look.

[@stevealicioustime]

It's really sharp! Classic design. You will love it!

[@Captainsting]

Love it but my only gripe is that the plastic scratches easily!

[@stevealicioustime]

Yep! Do have to be careful with surfaces as the paint on the plastic will chip away.

[@Captainsting]

@@stevealicioustime wish they make a stainless steel version at some point!

[@zoltannagy0121]

@@Captainsting Casio A1000

[@deanwaller8283]

​@@zoltannagy0121no,we need an actual a168 in steel,not the hideous a1000

[@GlynDwr-d4h]

If you want to put some money into it, you can mod this watch. There's a kit you can buy where you pop the module into a stainless steel case with scratch resistant sapphire crystal.

[@mitchyt7906]

Bought the clear strap on today and got 3 different straps too. My last Casio lasted 6 years haha, god dam I love Casio

[@stevealicioustime]

Where did you get the clear strap? Been looking for that!

@@stevealicioustime Casio Collection A168XES-1BEF that’s the reference. I bought it with it, I bought a white silicone and black silicone separate

[@YDM.]

I own the gun metal version of this, it is by far the most versatile watch in my collection.

[@stevealicioustime]

Absolutely!

[@nicholaspietrzak9992]

I know a logger who wears these, they’re tougher than they appear!

[@RobertNES816]

It is true this watch is indeed the only one you could need. It ticks all the boxes for what a basic watch should do.

[@stevealicioustime]

Definitely!

[@robertkovacic4623]

Just ordered one😃👍

[@stevealicioustime]

You'll like it!

[@dj1relaxmind]

I need minimum 3 alarms and individual reminders (Timex Ironman Classic) This is no longer suitable for me but i have more than one Casio A168 in my collection :). A168 is a legendary watch. Good ones are Casio DB360, SPS300, F201, W734

[@SniperRU]

По моему было бы удобней, если бы кнопка подсветки была справа а не слева.

[@3jasom]

they will by waaaay better with steinless steel or some metal case. I plan to buy the anyway :D

[@tko8218]

3:33 Battery life?

[@stevealicioustime]

I think it's 7 years. Whatever I said in hours, I meant years lol.

[@tko8218]

@@stevealicioustime My smart watch has a 7 hour battery life, so 7 years sounds great!

[@wtfmrb293]

Had one running since 2016 so yea a long time. If u don’t use that cool light or the functions that much. Even longer, who knows 10 years

[@rm9sbg93zxjzg]

LIke wearing it more than my 5610u

[@yajkushal1995]

Is display of 158wa a little bit better and clearer than 168wa?

[@fahd3228]

The digits on the 158 screen are more crisp , I have both :)

[@jodiwilson7299]

I put mine on an 18mm oyster bracelet. It rocks it, as both are polished & the bracelet adds heft.

[@stevealicioustime]

I bet! That sounds great, actually.

[@arnipinill8145]

Do you have the AQS810-1AV that topcat has been saying is a good watch for a while now?

[@stevealicioustime]

I do not! They look good, though! Those are cool looking.

[@6400ab]

I'm not a collector of anything. I don't want to collect watches. Why do I now have 8 different Casios?

How can you tell if a Casio watch is fake ?

Who cares if it's fake? It cost $20 😂

[@Solitaire001]

To confirm it is a real Casio, press and hold the button on the lower right-hand corner. If it is a real Casio "Casio" will appear on the display.
