Its design effortlessly channels the best of 80s and 90s digital watches, making it a perfect accent for any casual outfit. It's a statement of classic simplicity that feels both nostalgic and utterly modern. The silver resin case paired with the stainless steel bracelet gives it a surprisingly sophisticated edge for its price point.-- Unbeatable Value & Legendary Durability: At an astonishingly low price, the A158W is accessible to everyone, yet it sacrifices nothing in terms of resilience. The internal Casio quartz movement is renowned for its reliability, and the battery life seems to stretch into eternity. This is a watch that's built to last, making it one of the best bang-for-your-buck investments in timekeeping you can make.-- Feather-Light Comfort & Perfect Size: Despite its metallic appearance, the resin case keeps this watch incredibly lightweight (only 20g!), making it almost imperceptible on the wrist.

If you’re looking for a minimalist watch that pairs effortlessly with any outfit yet still feels premium, this Casio is worth considering. I’ve been wearing it for a month and love how light and comfortable it feels on my wrist. It also feels solid and well put together. The design is clean. It’s an easy choice if you want a stylish, understated watch that works for every occasion.

Ha. This is a watch of contradictions. Cheap, yet well-made. Small, but noticeable. Old, but it feels so damn new. The watch performs flawlessly and despite mentions of it being retro, it is slick, modern, and even better looking in person.I will say, however, that I found the included contract unusual and potentially disturbing. When I placed the order, a prompt I’d never seen before appeared, inviting me to read and sign a contract. The document stated rather explicitly that the watch was for “handsome guys” and that I would not be permitted to wear it if I was a “major uggo”. Whatever. I signed the contract and placed the order. What happened next was the truly unexpected...Two days after placing the order, I received a knock on my door very late at night. I wish I could tell you what time it was, but I did not yet own the watch so it is impossible to say. I peered through my peephole and saw the figure of a tall man in a long coat. Slowly, I opened the door and asked him what he wanted. It’s then I noticed a wristwatch with the largest band I’d ever seen wrapped around his forehead. It was analog, so I couldn’t tell the time. The man introduced himself in a voice so quiet his words were almost drowned out by the ticking of his pretentious headwatch. “I’m with Casio,” he says. Or maybe “Dime sith mass E oh”. Hard to say. Still confused, I asked him again what he wanted. It was then that things took a turn for the worse.Uninvited, he stepped into my home and grabbed my face with his cold, dry, watch-tuning fingers. I tried to resist and found my body unresponsive. I’ve later theorized that his stupid, unreadable headwatch was in some way hypnotic and temporarily robbed me of my senses. By the dim porch light, he jerked my head around, carefully but methodically inspecting every angle of my face. It obviously wasn’t the first time he’d conducted this sick facial analysis.Suddenly, he stopped. With me still immobile and deathly frightened, he took a step back, gave me one final, fleeting check and muttered “Acceptable. Seven out of ten.” Having said this, he promptly tapped the dial on his gaudy headwatch and I fell to the ground, exhausted and overwhelmed by my experience, but released from his spell.The next thing I knew, it was morning and someone was calling for me. “Sir? Sir? Are you okay?” I looked up and saw my door was agape and the mail person stood above me, package in hand. Embarrassed to have been defeated by the mysterious man and his unfashionable watch, I simply nodded and began to stand. Obviously unsettled, the mail person handed me the package as I rose and told me to have a good day. It was my watch! And boy, what a watch it is!The moral of the story is this: the watch is incredible, and at $20 perhaps the finest entry-level watch money can buy.However, potential buyer, I caution you this: if you are any less than a 6.5 or 7 out of 10, don’t kid yourself. Perhaps you’ve got more a F91W or G-Shock type of face, and that’s nothing to feel bad about. Not everyone can be handsome! Just be careful - I’ve heard the watchman and his hideous headwatch do not look kindly upon the unattractive.

Very nice little watch. Unfortunately, the strap is very delicate and feminine; as for the rest, it's a beautiful watch for collectors like me.

The A158 is the f91w “metal” version but still resin. But is lightweight a retro like the f91, a great tan look really good metal strap not too much of a hair ripper if your not moving your hands crazy. The only downside is just like the f91 is a bad backlight led green side light only covering the left side and you can read it in absolute darkness other than that you can read only half of the screen. The a158 is a great watch but it’s the same basically as the f91w and other watch’s in Casios line up it’s all preference in look and functions, 7 year battery life +/- 30 sec a month so more accurate than much more expensive watches. The features are time alarm stop watch and that’s it and being fr it’s all you need. So get it
