Cooler than the Brat Pack on Ice
This retro classic is peerless. It's the simplicity of it that is so good. It's reliable, it's lightweight and it's cool. It's cooler than Steve Mcqueen and James Dean and Marlon Brando all smoking gitanes on a triumph motorcycle reading jean Paul Sartre and sipping metropolitans. It's cooler than Don Draper shaking up a Negroni whilst 45 Dave Brubeck plays on 50s Jukebox.Its cooler than Serge Gainsborough singing Bonnie and Clyde whilst on a vespa scooter with Jane Birkin on the back wearing high boots and a bikini and nothing else. Its a classic that's can't be improved upon.

Reliable at amazing price
Timeless classic piece. For the tag price it’s a no brainier. You get a classy watch with vintage vibes for your every day commute. Paired with a cool leather jacket or a basic white or black t shirt it just works as a charm

Perfect Time.
I had one of these watches for 18 years until I accidently broke one of the Lugs but it's still working. Now unable to wear it I've bought this replacement. Best watch I've ever had. *****

The watch I received was sightly different
Although the watch looked genuine I returned it because I didn't receive the model in the pictures. The one I received was the one with wr printed between the water resist text and it also didn't have the letter u under the blue line framing the face of the watch. Again everything else looked genuine, I just wanted the exact model in the pictures.Standard delivery was very fast so problems there.One minor inconvenience was when returned it using ups, the instructions tell you to print out couple of documents but when I took it to the ups drop off, I was told I needed 3 copies of the invoice which was not mentioned in the return instructions. The teturn and the refund was confirmed very quickly which is a plus.If you don't mind the couple of visual differences I think the watch itself was quite nice and I would recommend it.

A true icon in the watch world.
A timeless classic, the Casio a168 combines the rugged toughness and reliablility associated with the Casio pedigree, with a sleek stainless steel construction and clean digital display, to produce, in my opinion, the perfect budget watch.Any watch collection wouldn't be complete without a vintage casio digital. Wear it for any occasion, super versatile. The features are super intuitive and easy to use. The timekeeping is immaculate.It's just stupidly cheap for what you get. Solid, amazing quality, accurate, reliable, the battery is ridiculous, lasting 10 years plus before needing a replacement. Buy it for life, replace the battery once per decade, kind of a no brainer for the price.I know a guy with a watch collections worth over 30k, and his old digital Casio gets more wrist time than his Rolexs, Omegas or Cartiers.5 stars all day.

You can’t not like it.
It’s a Casio digital watch, nothing more nothing less. It’s an infamous watch, everyone knows it, has seen, had probably had one before. It does the job a watch does flawlessly. It looks stylish without looking flash, understated yet underrated.I bought it to wear when my smart watch is charging (so everyday) and there are time me I have to admit I’ll keep it on. I like the alarm, hourly chime and the fantastic blue full screen backlight.It’s a proper Casio, the way they should be. If I had one niggle, it would be not having a stainless steel case, but that’s because of its price bracket so I’m at peace with it. Buy it and you’ll love it.

Still going nearly 3 years later
I've had a few Casio watches over the years and this one's been great great far. I bought this one around the end of October 2018 so coming up 3 years old at the time of writing this review.It looks nice and feels good enough on my wrist. The design hasn't changed much since it's release.I use this watch a fair ammount, its one of my 'general' watches I use and apart from a few scratches and marks, it's held up well.The waterproofing on the watch is good and has held up in the rain and whatnot. I will also add that the battery so far is still going strong although its supposed to last around 10 years.The timekeeping on the watch isn't bad, it's lost about 7 seconds of time over the last 6 months or so. The LCD is nice and clear to read too and the LED light is much better than the one on other models, I can see the time perfectly in the dark.I will say, the only criticisms I have are that it can get a little uncomfortable at times especially when the wrist strap catches the hairs on your arms and the clasp on mine has become a little dodgy over time. (It doesn't quite clasp as well anymore)Still, a great little watch for a good price! It has gone up in price since I bought it but not by a huge amount.
