Brand Story

Casio

With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good watch but
    Reviewed in Canada on December 16, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This is my third Casio watch in thirty years. The first was retired because its strap got full of paint. A generous soul took pity on me and offered me the same model. From the back of the drawer, this first watch still continued to tell the correct time for many years (except during Daylight Savings Time). For the second one, after ten years of good service, its adjustment buttons have become more capricious and an attempt to repair has been lethal to it. I found the same model on 鶹 but unfortunately all I received was a message from the carrier advising me that the package had been damaged and that I would be refunded. The second attempt was no more successful, this time I got no message, but 鶹 promised me a refund. A third attempt, with Prime next day delivery, was more successful, but delivered 5 days after the promised date. Too bad finally because the watch was $10 less at Walmart.
    The watch looks just as good as its predecessors. I recommend it but do not attempt to repair it or change the battery yourself. Also, check Walmart first and don't believe Prime delivery.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Improvements on the A158W
    Reviewed in Canada on May 3, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Used the Casio A158W as a disposable work watch for almost 30 years. Had at least 5 of them. When I broke last one thought I’d try this. Watch band same. (I like). Face about same size but redesigned so more usable space leading to bigger numbers. (Easier to read) Illumination is improved. I like the new approach to time setting. Negatives…the bigger numbers are elongated and look a bit wonky. The elongated numbers need to be viewed almost straight on to read time ( I constantly find I have to tilt my wrist when I check time) if viewed from an angle (say 45*) the time gets lost in the background. All in all I think I have a new disposable work watch.

    This is my fourth buy of the same watch over the years. I like it a lot. It functions trouble free, years. Bracelet functionality is also more than satisfactory. Only trouble with the watch is its adjusting knobs. After five or six years, they gradually loose their functionality. Eventually, each and every one gets stuck. I suggest spare knobs and/or assemblies inclusion for a long lasting watch.

    Jaha, då var det dags igen. Ytterligare en Casio A178. Har ett flertal, då det är en av mina favoritbeaters. Har en i guld oxå, bara för att. Ger bort en då och då, och då blir det oftast att jag köper två till för att ersätta den jag givit bort, de är så billiga. Är oxå bra att ha några extra för festligare tillfällen som inte är slitna av arbete och fritidsaktiviteter.

    Klockan har ett reptåligt mineralglas (vilket är ovanligt på casioklockor i den här prisklassen), en extra tidzon, stop watch, grön och skön belysning, är enkel att ställa och har ett 10 års batteri. Displayen är lätt att läsa av och siffrorna är stora. Klockhuset är av resin belagd med chrome. Man får repor, chromet släpper lite men det gör det på alla casioklockor av den här typen det är inget som sker på en gång det tar tid. Tål förvånansvärt mycket. Den funkar för både jobb och fritid men även för festligare tillställningar. Saknar dock timer, vilket är irriterande. Men man kan inte få allt.

    Jag älskar den här modellen, det är en underdog bland casios klockor och det finns förvånansvärt lite rewievs av den bland casio communities, desto mer finns på A168, en superklocka det oxå, men den här är bättre och alltid billigare. Brukar betala mellan 300-350 kr för dem. Den som söker han finner.

    Jag rekommenderar dem varmt, man får väldigt mycket klocka för pengarna. Det enda problemet med casios klockor är att det är så billiga att det är lätt att köpa för många.

    The media could not be loaded.
    Primero compré un modelo muy similar con caja de plástico y correa de resina (el Casio F201-WA) que me funcionó muy bien, aunque quería algo igual de bueno pero un poco más presentable. Este Casio A178W resultó la opción ideal.
    Es un reloj con muy buen estilo: el acabado del brazalete y la caja son excelentes.
    En cuanto a funciones tiene las básicas: alarma, aviso horario, cronómetro y tiempo dual. Me hubiera gustado que tuviera cronómetro de cuenta regresiva (timer) porque es una característica que suelo usar mucho. También puede dar la hora en modo AM/PM o en formato militar de 24 horas.
    Tiene una batería de 10 años lo cual es muy bueno para no estar preocupándose porque se acabó la pila.
    Me gusta mucho que tiene números más bien grandes (ya no veo muy bien) y son muy legibles, aunque no es un reloj excesivamente voluminoso.
    Es resistente al agua; funciona perfecto en caso de bañarse, lavarse las manos y uso casual (no es sumergible para nadar, etc.)
    Sobre sus puntos débiles: ojo porque aunque diga "illuminator" no es electro-luminiscente, sino que se ilumina con un pequeño foco interno de color verde y no dura demasiado encendido (puede verse en el video) pero tampoco me parece que sea un motivo para no comprarlo; simplemente hay mejores sistemas de iluminación pero este cumple bien su función. Y el otro punto débil es que el brazalete tiene a pellizcar, a veces, los pelillos del brazo.
    Tiene un estilo retro muy atractivo y no es tan informal como los modelos con caja de plástico y correa de resina. Una cosa que me gustó es que es una buen alternativa a otro reloj muy retro de Casio, el 3298 A168, que tiene números más pequeños y es más conocido. Este es una buena opción para lucir diferente.
    Sorprende que los maquinados sean realmente tan buenos para un reloj de este rango de precio.
    He comprado muchos relojes Casio y son de una excelente calidad que nunca decepciona, aún en los modelos más sencillos. Este no ha sido la excepción, me pareció una excelente compra y estoy muy contento con este reloj.
