Men's Vintage A168WA-1 Electro Luminescence Watch

This is VERY cool, BUT it is VERY small. The bracelet probably has enough length to be comfortable up to an 8” wrist, but the face is only 31mm. Smaller than even the smallest men’s watches. The price is great, the style is great, the function is perfect, even the light up function is awesome, it’s just so slim and small.

I bought this watch in August, 2019 and wore it daily until today. It never ever skipped a beat. I love this watch for all the reasons written in other reviews. But, I killed the start stop button and now cannot reset it to standard time. Over the summer I was doing some painting with a harsh paint over rust paint that is infamously messy and very persistent. I accidentally soaked the watch in it, as a result of paint dripping on it and was unable to get it out of the buttons. So today, I ordered a replacement - an a158 because the 168 is on backorder. Love the price, simplicity, reliability and sisu-level toughness of this awesome watch.

Love the style. Just need to take it somewhere to get the band adjusted. Otherwise, I would recommend. Good value.

A classic.Excellent watch. One of the best designs ever made, in my opinion. Light weight, extremely easy to resize the band. Only downside is that it pinches my arm hair but all metal watch bands do.

a great high rated casio watch. very reasonable price,,amazon rufus helped me pick a good quality watch at a reasonable price, i have large wrists, this watch is 7 and half closed open clasp 11 inches,. rufus said it will fit. it did fit nicely.most bands are to short. i love this watch. thank you amazon rufus. great for school students, or college

I've been wearing the Casio A168WA‑1 for a few weeks now, and it’s a solid pick if you're looking for a nostalgic, budget-friendly digital watch. Its retro styling, complete with chromed bezel and black resin strap, evokes that classic 80s vibe—great if you're aiming for a vintage aesthetic. The stainless steel casing feels surprisingly sturdy and lightweight, making it comfortable for daily wear. The adjustable resin strap fits most wrists well, though on larger wrists it can look a tad undersized. The iconic amber backlight does its job, although it's not as bright or long-lasting as modern LED lights — adequate for checking the time in dimly lit environments, but nothing to write home about. Functionality-wise, it covers all the basics: timekeeping, hourly chime, stopwatch, and an alarm. The watch keeps decent time—Casio rates it at ±30 seconds per month, and that's about where it's landed in my hands. A real plus is the long battery life; mine’s gone strong for well over two years so far. That said, it’s not without its downsides. The small display font takes some getting used to, especially for quick glances. And the light button feels a bit too flat and stiff—pressing it isn’t always intuitive, especially if you're in a hurry. Water resistance is minimal (splash-proof only), so it’s not built for showering, swimming, or even heavy perspiration. Overall, the Casio A168WA‑1 packs in charming retro style, basic yet reliable functions, and legendary longevity—all for a low price. If you want a lightweight, no-frills digital watch with vintage flair, it’s worth a 7 out of 10.

Yes, the style is a classic. But, this is just a great watch. Not bulky, no nonsense. Just a great watch. Yes, it is 2026, and this style is from back then. But, back then, things actually worked. I hope this watch will continue where the old models started. I highly recommend this watch!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: i love the old school Casio watches - well made, waterproof, display lit well when needed, looks great to my liking, a lot better than the hyped up watches. It's affordable such that when the battery dies i'd just get a new one. love it. Fit: great range of adjustability Watch quality: top notch. Functionality: display lit up well. alarm is easy to set. Accuracy: can't beat digital watch accuracy for sure
