    The Timex T80 on Amazon - amzn.to/3HOaSdK
    In today's video we have an exciting head to head battle between two budget friendly digital watches! One is the Casio A168, that I've dubbed the "stealth" and the other is the Timex T80 in black! I hope you enjoy this detailed watch comparison!
    The Casio model in the video is the CASIO A168WGG-1BDF or the CASIO A168WGG-1BVT. I've seen it with both numbers listed online. It can be a little hard to find today.

    **Important Note**
    I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
    Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
    The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
    The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
    Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
    In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
    "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

    I’m a huge Casio collector & I saw this Timex in gold & had to have it. The things I like about this watch over the Casio a-168 are: I like this style of bracelet better & think it’s less hair pulling, I prefer this stretch fit, no clasp bracelet & I love how the display turns a glowing green when the watch display is viewed at certain angles in the light. 🔥

    I think you undervalued each for durability. I know Casios can take a lot more of a beating and water than they are rated for, and I’m sure the same is true for the timex.

      I couldn't agree more. They might be cheap, are made of cheap materials and some say - not my opinion - they even look cheap. But drop them and drop a multi-thousand dollars mechanical watch with steel/titanium or whatever case and sapphire crystal, my bet is on the el-cheapo digitals😊

    I prefer the looks of the Casio over the Timex. I am building my affordable watch collection. I'm not buying for investment, just to please me. My collection at this time consists of three brands: Casio, Citizen, and Timex. I really enjoy your channel. The Town Watch was the first watch channel I subscribed to in 2021.

    I was working in a factory back in 1997 when I decided I needed a basic digital watch to sync up with the time clock at work. I went shopping and chose the Timex. This style of watch never left my wrist for over 20 years. They usually last 6-8 years before the tabs on the lug would break. I believe I'm on my third one now. I don't wear it as much anymore and typically use an apple watch. I think the expansion band is a big advantage for comfort and ease of taking it off and on for hand washing and such. It's a watch that you can just put on and forget about it. It's just a good practical watch. My only complaint is that you can not turn on the light while in stop watch mode. In that category the Casio wins.

    I have quite a few Casio watches in my collection which includes an A168 but with a positive display and a all silver coloured dial and it is a really good watch. I only paid £28 for it a few months ago here in the UK. I don't own a Timex digital watch and the only Timex that I do have is a Timex Expedition one and I really do like the Indiglo function of that. I really like the Timex T80 and am thinking about getting one sometime. I have recently purchased two Armitron watches from Amazon US which are the Armitron 'Rubik' and the Armitron analogue/digital 'Ridgemont after watching reviews on both watches by a couple of UK reviewers. Armitron is not known here in the UK mainly because they only market them in the USA being an American brand. I purchased both of my Armitron watches because they are fully stainless steel and are much cheaper than a Casio A1000 which I also like the looks of but I think they are expensive at around £100 here. The Armitron 'Rubik' is a really good watch but like the very early digital watches the lume is terrible. The Armitron 'Ridgemont' is a really excellent watch in my own experience though and the lume is good on the digital display. I purchased both of my Armitron watches for only around £70 in total which included free delivery from the USA and import duty included. I know Armitron is a budget brand in the USA but they really are good value for money watches. I wear both mine regularly as they are so comfortable because of the better quality bracelets on them compared with the Casio bracelet on the Casio A168 and other Casio watches at this price point. I would love to see you do a future video on your thoughts about the two Armitron watches that I own as I am very happy with mine. I forgot to mention that both of these Armitron watches have a 50M water resistance also which is another plus for me. Thanks for your review of the A168 and the Timex T80 and I have subscribed.
    Greetings from here in the UK.

    This comparison was excellent, puts the one I did to shame haha, although the one I did compared two diff styles altogether, but the timex won in my comparison.....Casio squeaked by with a win in this one, and the result I can't disagree with. Thanks for doing this, absolutely spot on the way you did it too. I agree, Casio wins this one, but not by much for sure...thanks Josh!

  • @MarkM58
    @MarkM58 Рік тому +6

    Both watches come from long historic lineage. But only one company is in the God Tier of watches and that is Casio. Timex's quality has slipped significantly over the years. This Casio also has an in-house Casio Japanese quartz movement whereas Timex uses Chinese quartz movements. So that tells me, as a semi-serious watch collector, that the Casio will keep better time and last longer. As of right now, you can buy the Casio for $23 US and the Timex is $69 US. To be fair, there were folks trying to sell the Casio for $69 but far more (including Walmart) were at $23.

  • @HAMBURGER-s1l
    @HAMBURGER-s1l 8 місяців тому

    I have both and prefer the T80 better....the negative display(hard to read) and the band of the Casio a168 makes it look blocky and bad. I have the T80 with the link adjusted looks and feels great...It has more curves on the face than the a168 so for me the Timex T80 comes on top of this one with a wrist size of 6.5 " is fantastic to have. Great video...keep rockin!

    Personally I wouldn't pay over $25 for a low end digital watch like those. Cheap plastic case, horrible bracelets and only the bare bones digital functionality. Why anyone would pay $60 for one of those when an entry level Pro Trek or Gshock is about the same price is baffling. Heck, that's twice the price of the Casio DW-291H which is probably far more durable, has a 10 year battery and 200 meters of water resistance.

      This Casio is < 60. G-Shock are bigger, worse strap, not in "classic" style but more for sport, teens etc. Disadvantages are: plastic scratching case cover and screen, hairs pulling strap, badly placed buttons, mb bad water proof. A1000 are made better, but have shiny and fancy look and strangely short battery.
