CASIO 1970s-80's Vintage Style Digital Watch

With a new twist - black background watch face with blue/green backlight and translucent strap.

If you're looking for the very definition of the classic digital watch, look no further than the Casio A158. Reintroduced and updated for the 21st century, the design stays true to the 20th century original and very little has actually changed in the 50 years or so since it's first appearance on our wrists. 

Design and Aesthetics

That said, this new dial - or screen if you prefer - features improved legibility and an inverted black background with a matching surrounding bezel. The strap now comes in several colour choices too, with this rather unusual looking clear translucent version fitted to this model. 

Movement and Functionality

As ever, the battery in this quartz powered watch will last for years (Casio quote up to 7 years, we think that might be a stretch though if you use the backlight often), and replacement batteries are easily obtainable. Don't be ripped off elsewhere with stories of needing a specialist battery. The Casio A168 takes a standard CR2016 battery, available right here in our store. 

As you would expect with a digital watch you get full automatic calendar and stopwatch capabilities, daily alarm and a blue backlight at night which lights up the numbers rather than the background. It's not the strongest light, but it does the job. 

Build Quality

While this is no G-Shock, the lightweight design and almost bouncy feel of the lightweight translucent strap and the resin case means that this isn't going to crash to the floor if you drop it. The display isn't bulletproof but the watch will take most bumps and knocks without causing your heart to miss a few beats should the worst happen. We'd call it durable if not as rugged and indestructible as a G-Shock and it's certainly stood the test of time like no other watch.
