The Casio A158WA-1 is an icon reborn — a vintage-inspired digital timepiece that marries retro aesthetics with reliable quartz precision. Housed in a distinctive square stainless steel case with a classic chrome-plated finish, this watch captures the spirit of 1980s digital design while delivering modern functionality. The grey LCD dial with its crisp segmented display sits beneath a mineral crystal, framed by a striking black surround with blue and red accents that harken back to the golden age of digital horology.
Measuring 36.8mm across, this compact square case wears comfortably on wrists of all sizes, secured by a robust stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp. The dial displays time in 12- or 24-hour formats, with a built-in 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, and LED backlight for low-light legibility. Water-resistant to 30 metres, it handles daily splashes with ease, while the quartz movement ensures accuracy within ±30 seconds per month. This is vintage styling without compromise — a watch that looks the part and performs with Casio's legendary dependability.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: The A158WRef-1 is water-resistant to 30 metres, which means it can handle everyday splashes, hand-washing, and light rain, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or submersion. For aquatic activities, we recommend exploring Casio's dive-rated models with higher water resistance ratings.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: Casio quartz digital watches typically offer battery life of approximately 7 years under normal use. Battery replacement is a straightforward service — contact our team when the time comes and we'll handle it swiftly.
Q: Can I adjust the bracelet myself?
A: The stainless steel bracelet uses pin-and-collar links that can be adjusted with the right tools. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing at our Mall of the South boutique, or our team can guide you through the process if you prefer to adjust it at home.
Q: Does the LED backlight illuminate the entire display?
A: Yes, pressing the light button activates an LED that illuminates the full LCD display, making it easy to read the time in low-light or nighttime conditions.
Q: Is this a men's or women's watch?
A: The A158WA-1 is designed as a unisex timepiece. Its compact 36.8mm square case and neutral styling suit wrists of all sizes and genders — it's a versatile icon that works equally well as a daily wear or a style statement.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dust, and moisture.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and strong magnetic fields.
- Do not operate the buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- If the bracelet becomes soiled, clean it gently with a soft brush, mild soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Replace the battery promptly when the display dims or becomes erratic — a depleted battery left in the watch can leak and cause internal damage.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from humidity and direct heat sources.
- Have the water resistance checked periodically if you regularly expose the watch to moisture, particularly after battery replacement.
