As the world fully embraced quartz technology in the late 20th century, the 1980s became a golden era of innovation, giving rise to some of the most unique and futuristic digital timepieces ever created. The Casio A130 brings back the best of ’80s gadget aesthetics, blending retro-cool charm with everyday practicality in a sleek, modern digital watch.
Watch Name Casio A130WE-1AEF Movement Digital Case Diameter 40.5mm Case Materials Plated resin case, stainless steel bracelet MSRP ~$77 USD (£59.90 GBP)
The A130WE-1AEF is part of the new A130 series, (which also includes the all-silver A130WE-7A, the gold A130WEG-9A, and the gunmetal A130WEGG-1A). It features a resin case, a stainless steel bracelet, and a multi-function LCD display with a hybrid digital-analog layout—reminiscent of something Roger Moore might have worn. Despite its bold design, it’s surprisingly lightweight and slim, measuring 40.5mm × 33.9mm × 9mm and weighing just 54g. Packed with features like world time (48 cities), multi-time zone support, five alarms, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, and a full-auto calendar, the A130WE-1AEF is a stylish throwback we’d gladly wear daily.
Best of all, its incredibly affordable price—ranging from approximately $76 to $71—makes it an easy recommendation for any collection.
