Nowadays when we talk about Casio, we almost always refer to the tougher G-Shock range. However this Japanese company which created its first digital quartz watch namely the Casiotron in 1974 has continued to innovate over the years. The ’80s and maybe even early ’90s was a time of funky retro style and the popular A168W which is a cousin of the equally popular A158W both share the same DNA from the legendary Casio F-91W.<\/p>\n
Tracking down the production date of these models seem to be quite a challenge with the only help from this Casio catalogue from 1984<\/a>. The A152 looks to be the predecessor of the A158W and we can only assume that both the A158W and A168W could’ve been released around the late 1980s or in the 1990s. Also the A168W which retains that retro style seems set to have a prominent screen time in Wonder Woman 1984<\/a>.<\/p>\n For a watch to be still in production and still looking relatively the same after nearly three decades only shows how popular it is. While I personally do like the retro look of both the A158W and A168W but it was the recent release right around September 2019<\/a> which caught my eye. It’s a variation of the slightly thicker A168W in a more monochromatic color scheme. Coming in both a negative (A168WGG-1B) and positive (A168WGG-1A) display, it definitely piqued my interest.<\/p>\n
