Casio A158WA Vintage Silver
Price shown is an approximate range. Check Amazon for the current price.
See price on AmazonSlimmer and lighter than the A168, with a single LED lamp - the most wearable vintage Casio digital on a steel bracelet.
Where the A168 shouts, the A158 whispers. Same 1990s idea, thinner case, lighter on the wrist, and a backlight made from a single LED instead of an electroluminescent panel. In daylight you would barely tell them apart. At night the A158 gives you one bright spot on the screen rather than an even glow, which is the compromise you accept for 1.5 mm less thickness and roughly 4 grams less weight.

Frequently asked questions
Is the A158WA water resistant?
It handles splashes and rain, which covers everyday accidents and hand washing. It is not designed for swimming, showering or anything submerged.
How long does the battery last?
Around 7 years on a standard CR2016 button cell, easy to replace at any watch counter.
Will the bracelet suit a small wrist?
Yes. The case is a compact 36.8 mm, and the steel bracelet is adjustable, so removing a couple of links is enough to fit a slim wrist comfortably.
What warranty and care should I expect?
The watch falls under Casio's international warranty, with terms varying by country of purchase. Care is simple: a dry cloth for the plating, cool water if you get it dirty, and never any solvent.
