Casio launches digital watch classic in large size

Casio has upgraded the A158W digital clock to a retro desk clock. The new DQD-851J-8JF, which also serves as an alarm clock, is cheaper than the original. Unfortunately, it is only sold in Japan.

The table clock shown on the Header image also lacks a stopwatch function and a bell that beeps on the hour. Instead, it has an amber-coloured LED backlight and also looks good in the bedroom thanks to its alarm clock with snooze function. On top of that, it can measure the temperature and humidity.

In Japan, it also automatically sets the time or calendar via a radio signal - one that is not available anywhere else on the island. The function can therefore be deactivated. However, according to Casio, the watch then loses an average of 30 seconds of accuracy per month. The DQD-851J-8JF is powered by two AA batteries, which should last at least one year.

If you don't fancy a DQD-851J-8JF import from the Far East, you can buy the original (A158W) or its extremely popular predecessor (F-91W) in this country.

I find my muse in everything. When I don’t, I draw inspiration from daydreaming. After all, if you dream, you don’t sleep through life.
