New Affordable Casio A158 Classic Watches Available for Pre-Order
Casio has launched pre-orders in Japan for two refreshed versions of its A158 classic digital watch. The new A158 WEM-3JF and A158 WEM-7JF models include a stainless-steel mesh bracelet and are priced at ¥7,700 (about $50) each, with shipments beginning in November 2025.
Design and Specifications
Both watches retain the recognizable A158 square case crafted from chrome-plated resin and accented by printed bezel text, a central element of the series since its debut. They include a compact case measuring 36.8 × 33.2 × 8.5 mm, a seven-year battery, an LED light, an alarm, and a stopwatch.
Mesh Bracelet Details
The newly added woven stainless-steel mesh bracelet introduces a refined appearance. It features a subtle longitudinal press texture and a Nakadome clasp, allowing quick length adjustments for wrist sizes from 150 to 205 mm. The bracelet adds a dress-casual note while maintaining the affordable character of the watch.
Color Variants
- A158 WEM-3JF: darker, green-tinted dial surround.
- A158 WEM-7JF: lighter, neutral gray dial surround.
“The mesh bracelet is a huge upgrade for these models, pushing the classic A158 style toward a more refined look without increasing the price.”
Summary
Casio refreshes its vintage A158 with new mesh-band versions that mix retro styling, compact design, and a stainless-steel finish — remaining affordable and stylishly versatile.
