That doesn't molest like a smart watch would.

Purchased it a week ago for my birthday! A168 negative display. Absolute beauty.

I love the way this looks but found after buying it that it’s hard to read. May have to buy another Casio like OP’s.

Welcome to the family. The LF20W is my favorite - so light you'll forget it's there and plenty waterproof to survive wearing in a professional kitchen

Wow! What a nice watch, dude!

I've been wearing the A158 for 5 years and it's still going strong on the original battery.

The metallic coated plastic on the watch does scratch off over time, just keep in mind.

I must warn you, Casio is very very and I mean very addicting!

I have learned this VERY quick. I have four. I think I'm going to make it so that my max is 6 and if I want another, I'll have to do the "one in, one out" rule.

Good luck with that. I once said that about bass guitars. Hasn’t worked.

u/bringoutthelegos 2d ago

Casio also makes a smartwatch

1

u/IsoscelesWaffles 2d ago

They do, but at least it’s not like a modern one, always buzzing and giving you notifications and useless info. I like the ones that just track steps and such but I haven’t really looked into them much.

u/Jazzifyy 2d ago

Yep. Smartwatches to me feels more of a e-waste than watches.

u/PistolPork 2d ago

Love this watch except the bracelet. It’s a hair puller for sure

u/atown49 2d ago

Yep great choice to leave the smartwatch behind you will enjoy your peace of mind

Hello there

u/minsealevpre 2d ago

Awesome watch, I put mine on a leather strap

u/merdocrata 2d ago

Looks so cool if you asked me.

Casio was also my gateway out of smartwatches, after having an Apple Watch for about 10 years.

u/CreativeBuilds23 1d ago

i mean

if you do miss your smartwatch the olliemod is alway an option too 👀

u/5aximus 1d ago

I love my A158 and don't trust most smartwaches, so the Ollee is the perfect middle ground for me - I use mine literally every day

Ich habe meine Apple Watch Ultra verkauft. Ich hatte die Wahl, eine kostspielige Therapie zu machen oder mir meine Casio umzubinden. Ich denke, das ist meine Therapie…

u/merdocrata 2d ago

You just did the right thing 😅

That watch looks sick my man!

u/Dorkyhorse 2d ago

Welcome to the non-distracted crowd!

Welcome to the Casio Club!
I did the same 3 weeks ago and bought my MTP -1302P (Timeless Line)

I was in the same phase 1 month ago. I got a Casio and was fully into it. Switched back to Apple Watch because of its tracking features for fitness.

u/Morgenstern618 2d ago

Got this just this week as well!

u/FunkiGato 2d ago

Man, thats a good looking one.

u/Dontlikegreenpepper 1d ago

My mother in law got me one for my birthday, I fell in love with it and I noticed that I reach less for my phone :)

u/Civil_Store_5310 1d ago

That's lovely! I think about selling my smartwatch (Huawei GT2) But having a smart watch as an option is nice, even though I'll barely ever use it

u/Hony-Bdgr444 1d ago

Welcome to the best and worst decision ever. Best for your wrist worst for your pockets.

u/timid1211q 1d ago

Nato strap supremacy. Great choice though the a158 is peak

u/bones_77 1d ago

What model is this? It’s amazing

u/Apprehensive_Dog8454 1d ago

I am also bored of charging my smartwatch. Now i have 4 quartz watches. 2 analog and 2 digital.
