158 in spite of the backlight. I like the thinner case... just looks better. Thanks for the review.

I have both. Display on 158 is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter and clearer. Light on 168 is obviously way better, however this will reduce battery duration. I would say unless you're using the watch at night a lot e.g. pizza delivery, go for the 158. The screen clarity really is noticeable. 😊😊

@justajobro1266 It's true the bracelet isn't the best in the world but isn't the worst either. Better than a lot of Chinese microbrands. Side by side the A168 bracelet is better than the 158 IMO. The 168 is made of of smaller links and is more comfy. Not a lot but noticeable. 🫡

H links on the 158 vs standard "oyster" three link bracelet for the 168! 168 feels better on wrist. Agree the display is better on 158, light excluded. @@roadgent7921

Happened to get the 158 for my birthday back in April. Just a real top-tier watch from Casio, not my daily per say (An F91, version is mine). I've got numerous of casios all over 10 years now, but this one has always stood out, only downside to this is the light in my opinion, but other than that, the 158 is ideal, but 168 is just perfected.

I chose the A168 in part due to this review. I prefer the more multi colored lettering, the back light for sure.. and above all the larger size. Even so my big wrist (8-1/4 in.) Dwarfs even this one and I more often wear something bigger from my collection.

I have the same A168, but I have to say I like the color and scheme and less thickness of the A158 better. Only thing is that I think that it would look too small.

What's funny is, he's at least an inch taller than me. I'm about 5'11" and he's every bit of 6' if not a smidge taller. However he has a very slender build. 6" wrist (I didn't measure his wrist at the time.) I was buying him these big G shocks and wondered why he wasn't wearing them. He tried one on and showed me. Yep! They are humongous. However they were a couple Neo Tokyo ones so he still likes them. He's 20 now, his wrists probably aren't going to grow much more 😆
