The Casio A158WEM-3 is a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic vintage digital aesthetic, rendered in a sophisticated stainless steel mesh bracelet with a striking green-toned digital display. This timepiece embodies the unmistakable character of Casio's classic digital era while delivering the reliability and functionality that have defined the brand for decades. The chrome-plated resin case measures a compact 36.8mm in length and 33.2mm in width, sitting comfortably at 8.5mm in height—a size that works equally well on smaller wrists and those seeking understated vintage charm.
Functionality is central to this model's appeal. The multi-function digital module includes daily alarm, hourly time signal, and a 1/100-second chronograph with split time capability, all powered by a CR2016 battery offering approximately seven years of service life. The LED backlight illuminator ensures legibility in low-light conditions, while water resistance provides everyday protection against splashes and rain. The distinctive teal-green display window—positioned within a chrome surround—creates a unique visual signature that sets this reference apart from traditional monochrome digital watches in the vintage collection.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for CASIO watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer is backed by the manufacturer's international warranty and our own commitment to exceptional customer service. The stainless steel mesh bracelet features an adjustable clasp for precise sizing, and our team at our Mall of the South boutique is experienced in bracelet adjustment to ensure the perfect fit from day one.

It illuminates the entire digital display with a soft glow, making the watch easily readable in low-light or dark conditions. The illumination duration is approximately 1.5 seconds per activation.

Warranty
- This watch carries a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The manufacturer's warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor discolouration or fading of materials.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components with a finite service life.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, submersion beyond the watch's stated water resistance rating, or operating pushers while underwater is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, drops, or damage resulting from unauthorised repairs or modifications will void the warranty.
- To validate your warranty, retain your original proof of purchase from Cassim & Co. Warranty service must be performed by authorised Casio service centres.
- For warranty claims or service enquiries, contact our boutique team, who will facilitate the process with Casio's authorised service network.
Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel mesh bracelet regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and environmental residue.
- For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water, ensuring no water enters the case. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the digital module.
- Do not press any pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as the water resistance rating is designed for splash resistance only.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing near strong magnets or electronic devices.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker or authorised service centre when the display begins to dim. Do not allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch for extended periods.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period (several months), consider having the battery removed to prevent potential leakage damage.
- Avoid impacts, drops, and knocks that could damage the case, crystal, or internal digital module.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the manufacturer's warranty and may compromise water resistance.
