Casio A158 Display Color Filter and Nato Strap Modification
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- I'm back and I have something new to show you. Lately I noticed display mods getting done using color filters rather than polarisers. Guys from channels @WatchingCasio and @watchNcarry are doing great job with their modifications and like every competent youtuber I decided to copy them, go watch and follow them now!
Combining color gels with different nato straps can get pretty awesome combinations. This is Casio A158 is one of them! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

That orange filter looks suuuuper amazing on that silver A158!!! :D Really needs an LED mod too. Like you did on the F91W.
Looks so clean dude! One of my favorites!
Thanks
I seriously consider that your content is absolutely helpful and entertaining , and inspiring many people (like me) to make these mods ! Great job keep it up 😀
Thanks! Comments like this make me happy!
Great video. You inspired me to get a A168 to mod. Amazon said it just arrived, but sadly it's at my college apartment, and I'm home due to classes moving online. Hopefully I'll get to mess around with it soon!
Oh nooo... hang in there! Thanks for the comment
Nice! I love the display color mods, I'll have to try it some day.
Thanks! They are cool indeed!
ayeee what's up dude your vids are awesome I'm wearing an a158w right now
Ayeee thanks! A158 is my favourite!
it's looks more more fresh , simple and elegant
Thanks!
Las modificaciones en el color del del filtro de la pantalla LCD me parecen fascinantes. Son algo simple de hacer, pero siempre aportan algo nuevo; un toque de frescura al estilo del reloj.
Gran video.
Thanks for the comment!
@@Techsas sabes algo de español?
A little, I use translate ;)
@@Techsas en México son muy insistentes con aprender inglés, creó que por eso yo sé un poco. Solo las bases.
Very cool by the way!
I rebuild F91 and A168w combo watch, which came out gorgeous
How? Is it f91 with a168 module now?
@@Techsas yes...it came out gorgeous ....thank u for the inspiration
2025 and this still looks sexyyyy
Nice video. Love your work, i've got an a168wegg-1bef witch has Electroluminiscence and it looks close to yours.
Thanks! A168 is great I like nato strap on A158 better tho, A158's lugs sticks out so it blends in better.
The thickness of the nato strap puts really high tension on the springbars. You can already tell that they bend slightly on both ends. Temporarily they're going to be fine, but over period of time I'm afraid they're gonna fail.
very nice video!!!
thanks you bro!!
Thanks for your vid! Tried this out with my own A158. Question I have is about how you get the colour gel to sit in place - do you need it to be fastened by both the top and bottom of the white plastic screen window? I can get the bottom lip to fasten over the gel too, but then it curves out a bit which means it will catch the light a lot once it's all closed up. Not a dealbreaker but wondering how you get it to stay where it is and stay flat
Yes, that thing is annoying!!! I found that if it's under the upper lip the result is much better. Another way is to fix a bigger piece to the crystal itself.
@@Techsas Great - thank you! Keep up the good work
your the best!!!!!
No, you're the best!
Oh, thanks!! Thanks for your videos, friend!!!! Blessyou
Mans was really doin this vid at 1 am
Bro, i see you got a rosco filter sample there. Does it stick or how did you apply it?
I want to buy a new strap for A158 can you tell me the strap size which suits it please....!??
Is there a reason to why you didn’t insert the spring bars first then feed the strap rather than placing the strap and then fidgeting the bars around ?
There is very little spaces between the spring bar and the watch impossible to squeeze it in :)
Hey can you please tell me what I need to change the strap on the Casio a700w? What do I need to look for when buying a different strap, and what tools will I need? :)
Not sure what's the strap width... To change it a flat head recision screwdriver is enough.
@@Techsas I bought the cheaper f91 to mess around with first instead xD the a700 is more expensive. Your videos have inspired me during these lockdown times to get into modding Casio's. Wish me luck :p
@@Julie-my6ds Good luck, F91W pins are different tho
I just had an F84w arrive today and I’m curious about trying a mod like this!
I actually have a video filmed putting a nato strap on F84W, but haven't edited it yet. It looks much better than f91w with nato strap.
Can’t wait to watch it! I’ve also ordered a nato strap for my F84w, that should arrive sometime later this week.
Hermoso quedó 👍👍👍
hi where did you find the color filter ?
Look for color lux or lee filters swatch book
@@Techsas wow thx
do you know about B640WD-1A? It's like a168 but 50m wr, and module with more features
Yes I do. They look good with nato straps as well. I don't like the tall display tho, doesn't look like Casio anymore...
Can you reuse the spring bars out of the metal strap?
Hola me gustaría ver un cambio de fondo de display y pasar de gris a verde tornasolado
what does the colour filter do exactly?
Can i know what size of the strap?
Are those pins strong enough to hold the strap??
I hope so
I tried once with a similar strap. After a few weeks of daily use, those pins popped out.
Wow exelent mod. Dónde consigue los filtros?
Thanks!
Were do you hey the filters?
Ebay
Thanks. Have the link
Where did you get the filters?
Ebay. Rosco Color, Lee Filters
Bro what is colour code??
A159wa strap size same as a159w?
Why didn't you just put it over the screen? I mean yeah it's probably better, but harder to change later
Strap size please
18mm
Is it possible to put a nato strap on a casio a168w? i've been trying for hours to put a nato on mine and i can't seem to do it
It's possible, you can see my older video. I used really thin spring bars.
@@Techsas you don't use the spring bars from casio?
@@Techsas you can't use the original springbar?
What is straps size ?
Hey there, I was looking for a good beater watch to put on a Nato strap. Confused between the 158 and 168. Saw both your videos. I really like both the watches but I have a feeling that the 168 with the extra bulk looks a little disproportionate with the Nato. Which one, in your opinion, looks better on a Nato?
Do you have a intsa account? Tjat would be so cool! We could send you our own creations that you inspired us to do, I have a few 😃👌💯
That's a great idea! you can find me on @bytechsas or just tag #techsas !
oh and the end result looks like oil filled f-91w

Oh wow thanks for the link. Apparently waterproofing is not the only reason to fill your watch with oil!
It would be more helpful if you wasn't hiding the watch out of the camera 80% of the time.

His is blacklisted by casio😂
Eu qroooooo
What is the obsession with the nato straps?
They do not fit with the watch face.
At all.
90% of the so-called Casio mods are just guys putting these stupid straps on.
