Casio Alarm Chrono A158W

After the flashy watches for Christmas, it's back to an old classic again today.

This watch is one of the retro LCD watches by Casio, and is called the A158W. It is actually a current design, reissued sometime in the 2000s, and aimed to have the charm of the classic 80s models. Looks wise, it's quite hard to tell the age, but the green LED light let's you know it's a newer model.

The A158 models are quite cheap, being in the order of $20, but still good looking and functional. It is a lithium model, and water resistant, with that title being prominently displayed on the face, but without any indication about the rating. There is a clear 2 line LCD display showing the time in 6 digits, with day and date above.

Inside, there is a 593 module, and the watch has alarm and stopwatch modes. It comes with a stainless steel Casio strap with the part number S-515DV.
