More than anything, I wish Casio would give us a premium A168 with an actual stainless steel body, upgraded crystal, and maybe a little love for the bracelet. The A1000 came close but came in weird colorways and doesn't have the same charm. Maybe one day the aftermarket will tackle it, like they have with gshock squares and the casio royale.

I got this watch for my Dad on his 2021 birthday. He used to visit Japan in 1970s and it reminded him of his early twenties. He is 73 now. Its a brilliant watch !!

I see so many young people in their 30s wearing Casio vintage here in Europe, it is amazing!

As someone who wore a gold casio calculator watch during my master’s graduation, I support this video.

This casio never gets old what a timeless piece

I have one of these, and I’ve worn it as much as my Speedmaster professional. No one ever looks or says anything about the omega, but the gold Casio gets commentary everywhere, overwhelmingly positive too.

Just bought one today and yes, it is hip and charming. I used to think digital watches lack personality but boy was I wrong. Teddy you’ve made me a watch fanatic now !

This is my first watch in prolly a decade and I'm glad I chose it with the help of your video. It's everything I want. Stylish, vintage, beautiful, affordable yet subtle.

I have 10 watches and the a168 is arguably my favourite. Timeless, classy, comfortable, affordable and surprisingly useful (I use the stopwatch at gym and alarm in the mornings). I do prefer the gold with the black face though 👌

When the 35mm PRX came out in full gold, I knew it was time to live my Tony Soprano life, but I had never worn gold before and didn’t know if it would look good on my wrist. So I got one of these to see and I wear it all the time. It’s actually putting off my PRX purchase bc I like it so much.

Love the Casio World Timer. I sprained my ankle recently and all the functions really help me throughout the day when i cant move to use alarms.

Robert Lewandowski fittingly just wore one to the Ballon d’Or awards. Super cool watch!

This man's ability to articulate exactly what sort of image this watch conveys is absolutely bang on 🎯 bravo, sir

[bazatul]

went online and made the order right after watching this video! Amazing watch for the money.

I saw Idris Elba wearing one, and immediately bought one. It's my go-to for any kind of fancy event. I even wore it to a fundraiser at John Stamos' house. My only issue is that I have hairy arms, and it gets caught in the 100% worth it though.

i love mine, was so excited to when i saw the title lol

it’s such a self-aware, classy piece, and has a neat vintage-like appeal. it’s such an interesting design where anything that could be seen as a flaw about the watch, quickly turns into charm when you put it on.

close runner-up for me are some of the all gold Seiko 5’s. a couple bucks more, but also brilliant ❤

I went surfing with my a168 today, resin model but I LOVE this thing! Stoked to see it on your channel Teddy 🤙🏽

[wnysnoopy]

Just ordered mine. Can't wait to get it soon.

Honestly when you do more affordable watch reviews I actually feel somewhat compelled to buy some of these watches. Especially that last video you did on the $300 watch
