My first watch in 2 years…for 2024 picking up a gold Casio A168WG to complement my silver one. After much consideration I’ve decided to grow my digital Casio collection and this will be my 3rd Casio to join my 5600 G-Shock and silver A168.
Why Casio? The value proposition as the price and functionality are perfect. I’m also finding it a lot more convenient as I’ve grown self conscious at times with the Rolex and bored of the Apple Watch. Both still are nice and I’ll wear the Apple Watch for workouts and the Rolex when I’m feeling nostalgic.
Initial impressions. The clasp is rock hard and requires effort to open and adjust, but it feels solid and durable. The gold resin case really pops and shines, exuding some confidence.
It’s true though that the display is harder to read and the buttons are also harder to push than the silver A168. But otherwise this is a great watch. I’ll need to wear it for a few weeks to get a better feel for the gold version.
One week review. It’s a great watch and I’m finding it better than the silver A168. The strong clasp makes it perfect and I’m able to wear it 24/7 and not care. It’s so lightweight I easily forget it’s there.
If you can, owning both the silver and gold A168 provides multiple options.
