Casio has introduced a fresh version of its iconic digital watch, the A158WEGV-9A. This new model keeps the classic design we all know and love but adds a modern touch with a gold-tone finish and green accents.
Design and Build
The A158WEGV-9A sticks to the signature square face and digital display that fans of the A158 series will recognize. It’s built with a resin case and bezel, paired with a gold-colored stainless steel band that has an adjustable clasp. This makes it easy to fit wrist sizes between 150 mm and 205 mm. The watch itself is lightweight, weighing only 45 grams, and measures 36.8 × 33.2 × 8.2 mm, making it comfortable for everyday wear.
Features You’ll Use Every Day
- 1/100-Second Stopwatch: Perfect for timing activities, you can measure elapsed time, split time, and even compare first- and second-place times. It runs for up to 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds.
- Daily Alarm and Hourly Chime: Stay on track with customizable alarms and hourly reminders.
- LED Light: The built-in green LED lets you see the time even in the dark.
- Auto-Calendar: No need to adjust for months with fewer days—it’s already set for February’s 28 days.
- 12/24-Hour Time Format: Choose the format that works best for you.
The watch is accurate to within ±30 seconds per month and runs on a CR2016 battery. With a seven-year battery life, you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon.
Water Resistance
The A158WEGV-9A is water-resistant, making it safe to wear while washing your hands or getting caught in the rain. However, it’s not meant for swimming or extended water exposure.
Pricing and Availability
This new model comes with a price tag of $74.95, positioning it as a premium choice in the A158 series. It’s currently available in the United States, and we’re waiting for updates on availability in other regions.
If you’re a fan of Casio’s timeless designs with a modern twist, this watch could be a great addition to your collection.
