Our Take
The Casio A168WA-1 is a reissue of the classic digital watch that defined an era. With its stainless steel band and case, electro-luminescent backlight, and clean digital display, it's a perfect blend of retro aesthetics and reliable timekeeping.
Features include a daily alarm, hourly time signal, auto-calendar, and a 1/100 second stopwatch. The EL backlight makes it readable in any lighting condition. Water resistant for occasional splashes (but not swimming).
Originally a practical, affordable timepiece, it's been adopted by the fashion and streetwear communities as a statement accessory. At under $25, it's one of the most affordable ways to add a distinctive piece to your wrist.
