Sale history: Casio USA launched it at US$74.95 (Nov 2024); casio.com/ca-en lists it without a CAD price and Canadian retailers sit around C$100-110. US dealers run US$89.95 and resale sits US$89-93, so the Casio MSRP is effectively the floor.

Pros

  • Gold ion-plated multi-row bracelet with adjustable clasp
  • ~7-year CR2016 battery, far longer than the A158WA
  • Classic 33 mm retro case, 45 g, green LED backlight
  • Stopwatch, alarm, hourly chime, auto-calendar

Cons

  • Three times the price of the plain A158
  • Splash-resistant only, no depth rating
  • Resin case with gold finish scratches and wears
  • Scarce in Canada; typically C$100+

Why it is on the owner's desk

The beater; the one that goes on when the Tudor should not. The question it answers for a buyer: Why keep a C$109 watch next to a Tudor?

From the owner · T.R.

“I bought five of these in March 2026 and one more in June. One is on my wrist most days the Tudor is not.”

Specs that matter

  • 36.8 x 33.2 x 8.5 mm, 45 g
  • Resin case, gold ion-plated steel bracelet
  • CR2016, ~7 years; ±30 s/month
  • 1/100 s stopwatch, alarm, hourly signal, LED

Alternatives weighed

  • Casio A158WEA-9CF (researched, ~US$22): the plain gold A158 at a third of the price
  • Casio A168WG-9 (researched, US$79.95): the slightly larger gold classic
