A168 is the best for me ☺️ it keeps the retro look of the A158 but doesn't look too tiny on male wrists. Also the illumination is really usefull. One time i could light my way out of a dark room after electricity failed and i didn't have my phone charged. For water resistance - i had it in the shower very often in the last three years and even went surfing with it a few times. no problems at all
I just bought one, felt like it was time for an upgrade from my f-91w.
A168 is definitely superior
But it is EL light, LED is best
The A168's even, bluish-green glow was the clincher for me. Just like any Timex I buy is probably going to have Indiglo. There's just something about it.
Yeah me too, I had this watch when I was in grade school that was in early 90's. Now its September 2023 and I bought another one. I'm glad casio still produced these vintage watches, I never liked smart watches as you have to charge it every now and then and just when you need to use them they fail you. This watch has everything you need in a wrist watch time date illumination alarm timer all in a minimalist design.
Don't choose, you can buy them all.
Including all the oceanus ones? I certainly cannot buy all of them.. there are sooo many 😉
@Scott Milan Nah, you would never have a girlfriend.
@@artiya4u too savage
Hahaha... True..!! 🙂😇
I'm not a smart man but I think you're on to something
I pray they come up a metal version of A700W. It's a great slim watch but resin is meh.
Absolutely. What other Casios under 100 dollars, would you love to see available in metal?
A168 all hands down! 35 years later and the patina is great and not a single scratch on the glas! Yes this one of mine is from 1980+ ish and still works like a charm!
Doesn't the big red illuminator irritate you?
there's a version of it where the illuminator is in white@@redblazer29
can you tell me about water resist
I know this comment is from 9 months ago, but the a168 was first released in 1997.
@@uto74As far as I know, the first model with this design was launched between the late eighties-early nineties, however, what has changed over time are the modules they use. The current A168W module is the 3298, which was released in 2012, an older one, 1572, was launched in 1997. The interesting thing is that the A168W is apparently an older model than the A158W.
Fantastic round-up and it's so awesome to see someone really championing the retro casio low-budget part of the market. I 100% prefer an affordable quartz digital watch to affordable quartz analog watch. It's form following the function and principle. Electric both on the inside and on the face.
How can I turn off the key tones on this product?(b640-wd)
I wear an A168 every day to work, has been a lovely watch.
I love the A168. Just has a bit of swag that catches the eye of average passing people. To the other watch collectors out there, when they see you wearing this watch they're asking; is he one of us? Lol
How's the thickness? I like the a158 form factor better but I also like the improvements on the a168
Me too is an overall awesome watch. I shower with it without any issues... and once I fell on a lake doing Kayak and I swam with it and it didn´t get damaged!!
How can I turn off the key tones on this product?(b640-wd)
can i see please?? 😔😔
Terrific summary Ben, a great constructive review without bias of decent watches (all of them) that are not only affordable but obtainable.
I can't stress how much I love your channel when it comes to comparisons like this. Your content may focus on the super affordable end of watches, but your approach is so professional and yet approachable that I get very absorbed in whatever you're talking about.
A158 is the most retro one with full of memories and the best one from every aspect!
Nah...Check out the A159. Its built in Japan, not China.
I had been planning to buy the A700 for the last 3 months. Came back yesterday to watch your review on that for the 6th time and finally ended up buying it. :D
I have the A158 and have just ordered an A163 for £17 from Amazon. I think the 63 has the coolest retro look out of them all. Not fussed about the weak light. It does the job and that's how I remember it as an 80s kid. A168 is on steroids and doesn't have that slim, retro elegance IMO.
Same, I've had the 63 for a few months and just picked up an a100
It doesn't get much better than a Casio shootout! Great video 👍🏻
That A700 full silver is so damn sexy.
Great Video Idea, this one will do well and is really helpful for anyone intimidated by the endless Casio catalogue! (which is everyone really 😅)
This is a great video for people like me, who constantly mix all these Casios up. Great as a reference.
I always enjoy your videos. On this topic, I have a couple of metallic Casio watches; the A700 on the mesh bracelet and one not mentioned in the video, the Solar AL190WD-1A, which does not have a back light.
I really love your videos and your sense of humour! Please keep it up, Ben!!
great video Ben. Really glad you said the A700 looked the best too! I completely agree and bought one myself last year.
I've been wearing my new A168 (gunmetal version) for over a week now. Hasn't left my wrist since the first day, such a great watch.
Great comparison.
I prefer the A158 because I think it's the most classic one with the small green light
Now that I realize that not all cool watches need to be over $300, I should start my watch collection again. Those Swatches and Fossils from 20-30 years ago have been missing for quite a while and it's high-time to get things going again. Great to know that Casio has a respected reputation again!!! #LoveThe80s
Avoid Fossils. Awful watches with worse quality control.
Great review. I was so impressed with these watches I bought the whole set. The best time keeper is the A163W which I purchased from Argos. Only changing the watch time at GMT intervals it gains just +5 seconds the others are pretty close. I have a large variety of watches and these are the cheapest most accurate watches in my collection by far. Which proves Casio are the best number one watch maker money can buy.🥇👏
How can I turn off the key tones on this product?(b640-wd)
No vincero, filipo loretti are so better 🤣🤣🤣
I bought recently the b640 because I found it looks good, has a good water performance and because it shows the month. Now, in my wrist I think it looks better than I thought before. And it's so confortable that it feels like part of my body.
I feel a trip to ebay in my near future
Guilty as charged... Just picked up the silver b640
A168, B640 and B650 are on the way. Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Can’t wait to get one, really enjoying my Casio W800H with the negative display. It’s such a sharp, cheap, and casual watch.
Thanks for introducing me to the A700. Cool affordable watch.
I've got a B650 after seeing one in a film. I love it. For anyone with average to large wrists it's fantastic.
Absolute great video firstly. I am getting A168 for Christmas, I am very excited
When I first saw reviews for vintage, budget Casios, I didn't see the appeal. Now that I have a white F-91 and B640, I now enjoy these very detailed reviews of something so cheap.
Just ordered an A700. Less than 30 quid here in Japan. Wish the gold model wasn't so expensive, but the silver one looks great!
I've got the silver mesh A700, love it. Other Casio's are too thick for me.
Excellent comparison! Just a quick note, TH-cam had randomly stopped giving me notification when you upload. I don't know how many other people this is happening to but you might want to let TH-cam know.
This is one of the best comparison videos I’ve ever watched
Man this videos perfect!! Clear, orderly -nice gloves- love all the angles!! Thanks so much
A700 and A700 WE are same?
Great video Ben!
One watch that could of been in this line up is the A178WA-1A
It has a bigger face with large digits, a dual time too and Illuminator back light. I like all of these and want to get next the silver Casio F91w
Great video, really helpful to see the differences side by side. Got yourself a subscriber. Also, I just ordered the A700 :D
I have had a silver A158-WE for years and it's fantastic. I love it and it was only about £15 🤣🔥
I have the A163 (part of a growing collection of Casio's). Great for wearing around the house when I'm working.
The A700 and B640 both look great! I personally would rather prefer the A700 though, I really like the slim look. Now I also know what I'll give my sister for her birthday. :D
I bought a 1978 Casio silver F-100 not long ago and it's become one of my fave watches. Also the bracelet is amazing.
1978 product and still working till now..what a great watch from casio.
My A500WEA turned up yesterday, love it.
I was worried that the B650 would be too big for me, but it fits me perfectly.
It's basically the same size I remember the F-91W from way back when I was a teenager. But this time it's silver and 5 bar water resistant.
Thank you so much for your reviews!
Great video Ben , I have a number of Casio's including the A168 and A700 on mesh, both get plenty of wrist time, I also love my WV-59 which has the date as you like it D/M/Y. keep up the good work, stay safe.
which one would you choose if you had to choose one?
The A700 but WV-59 comes a close second that's just me
I currently own the A168W and A700 (gold with Milanese mesh bracelet)...honestly some of the best value propositions out there!
Great review, as usual, Ben. I really like the A700. Your comment "Brothers from a different mother" was hilarious.
I needed this video !!!!! Love it
Every watch collector should have an F91-W, simply because it's so iconic.
The backlight is awful but most digitals were the same back in the day.
As you upgrade from the 91, functions become more advanced (timers etc.) and you get a full auto calendar and DST settings as well as a better light.
It's worth checking out the module numbers to download or view the online manuals to see exactly what you get.
Was about to order an a158 until I saw this video, now I want an a700
Great Video! Great Conclussions! Much Appreciated!
Thanks for making the video, it's very helpful :)
Dope video can you do one on gold casios as well
I've had the b650 and loved it for 2 years. Then I lost it, and now I wanna buy it again. It's beautiful, the best casio ever for me
Great vid, as always! Thx!
Just received my A-158-a. Absolutely stunning watch for 30$
Hi Ben, here's an idea for a future roundup: why not do a roundup based on interesting features for inexpensive digital watches. Like for examble: one issue I have with the cheaper Casio watches (and even with the otherwise really, really nice Lineage series) is the fact that even though they have multiple alarms, they don't have alarms that can be set on weekdays/weekend days (or a day by day alarm). Since I find it a pain to enable/disable the alarms on these watches, I just don't use them. So if there were a cheap digital watch that did have day by day alarms, I'd probably buy one (and one for each of my children).
Sounds like a good idea to you?
Great video Ben! Let me ask you a question: will you ever do a review of the vagary aqua39 diver with quartz module? I'm quite interested in it as a beater for the summer but I only find reviews for the automatic ones, which is a shame!
Thank you and keep up the good work🤙🏻
I have the F91WM-7A on a grey NATO. it's more comfortable than any of the bracelets or the silicon strap, and it looks perfect too.
A158WA-1 and the A700WM-7A (silver) are my favourite.
Great review! Thank you
Excellent Video Ben! Been watching for a while, especially the Casio videos, love me a good Casio! Keep up the good work 👍
Very interesting and introduced me to new watches, I guess , as has been said already, buy them all!?
Great idea for a video, have been wanting to know this. I've been thinking about buying a retro Casio watch. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoy very much your videos pal. I'd love to hear your opinion on Lacoste watches👍. I'm really considering to buy one.
My new 'beater' is a B640, because as far as I can tell, it is the only one of these with a 24h stopwatch, which is important to me.
For me it's metal bracelet is very comfortable, though I have noticed that it occasionally catches a hair when putting it on or off.
I like the look of the B640, but it's 1.5-2 times the price of the A700 here in Japan. Nice video, by the way.
I have epilepsy and you won my heart when you mentioned epilepsy warning, love you bro ❤
Wearing my A168 right now and loving it.
Gotta buy them all!
Thanks to Ben this segment of the watch market, always overlooked, gets to be seen by those who do not wish to spend a small fortune on a watch. I have over 300 pieces of all types of mechanical watch. Now that I am old, there is no need to sell anything. I recently bought the Casio 159 W. I have most of the others, including GShock Tough Solar. The best watches are those who cost very little. I hope Casio keep making these. The people in Asia are not fools.
Excelente! Comparativo de todos os modelos da mesma família em um único vídeo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The digital watches i use the most are the silver W217 (negative display) on a W734D SS bracelet, A500w and ae1200 (have 3, 2 are modified).
I have the Casio 1000 DW 280 which my mother bought me back in 1982 - works fine and is in good condition.
The A163 was my first watch. When I started collecting
Mine too!!
I wanted this EXACT video. Thanks
Finally my all time favorite.. the A163 on BWC.
Exactly what i was looking for,
bought b650 following this video. Thanks, mate.
I have the A163. For me it looks more retro and beautiful than the others. But i have to say i am not wearing the A163, it is just a display model for me as an collector.
How can I turn off the key tones on this product?(b640-wd)
@@semih2649 That is not possible, i think.
I have the 168, 640 and the 650 which I love the most. I have 20 Casio watches in my collection and you cannot beat them for price and quality imo.
Hey just want to know if i have wrist with 7,5 inch circumference. what should i get, i have the option those of 3 watch u had, thanks.
@@gilanggilang9859 Yes the a168 looks good on a wrist your size
I have a dream, a b640 in brushed steel and (at least) mineral glass. Would be the perfect watch for me!
Casio B600 series is just OP.
Worn the hell out of the black model for a few years now.
You skipped the A-178, at least in my home country it still sells like crazy and is a little bigger than the A-158 and A-168. Great video, thanks!!
I just looked this up. I'll likely buy this model thanks
@@unknownalias5538 it has a 10 year battery too.
thanks for the video bro! I'm planning to get the casio b640 with nike cortez classic leather on july or august after I collect money 😆
I like my b650 but I truly love my a163, it may be completely scratched up and held together with super glue but it lasted my uncle for years and it's lasted me for even longer.
I bought myself A168, it is my first watch and it is great :)
My Casio 168 is working since 2004 with the original battery. And the digits aren't even faded!
Brilliant Watches All The Best To You.
I still use A158 & A168 model and i love A168 very much but A158's screen much more sharp than A168. In future i want to buy A700 cause i loved amber color backlight! Also A164 looks good and reminds me 90's or 80's.
The 6mm ones... There's something really cool about the thinness... they could go a little wider and taller add another option....Until they do an all stainless steel budget offering. I hope they do that one.
I have casio a163 and i love them so much, wearing them for a year almost everyday, still looks good (but paint a little bit destructed near the back cap), i hope casio will make similar steel watches with wva (radio controlled) and solar panel. Hello from Russia !
Привет 😅
@@user-bb2mx9gz4n Привет
Do you fancy the Casio gold variant? I hope you can review those as well. Keep up the excellent job.
I can't say this video was better than you're awesome comparisons to the F-91 variants but it was certainly..... Shinyer 😎
Have the B640 in black.
Only silver Casio at the moment is the A500 👌
very helpfull, thanks bro
Love my a 158 but hate how easily it scratches
Need a sapphire glass version will be happy to shell out extra for it
Exelent video! 👏👏👏
I wish other companies would start making retro style digitals again. Seiko and Citizen were/are iconic.
I’m interested with the A168 because of the colours.
Hey, love that video!! What do you think about the Casio vintage iconic they sell on the snipes website? I can’t find anything about it on the original Casio website 😅
