Casio has released two new digital watches in the US market as part of its Vintage collection: the LA680WEM-7A and the LA680WEMG-9A. Both models are currently available for purchase directly through Casio’s US website.
Design Details & Pricing
The watches come with stainless steel mesh bands featuring a pressed, striped pattern that adds texture to their design. They also feature self-adjustable clasps that fit wrist sizes ranging from 125 to 185 mm.
The watch case retains Casio’s standard octagonal shape. It is a relatively small watch, measuring 33.5 x 28.6 x 8.6 mm, and the entire unit weighs 38 grams. The digital display is covered by basic resin glass.
The difference between the two models comes down to the color finish and the price. The LA680WEM-7A has a chrome-plated resin case and a silver-tone stainless steel mesh band. It costs $69.95. The LA680WEMG-9A features a gold-tone resin case and a gold ion-plated mesh band, which brings the price to $99.95.
Functionally, these watches carry the standard set of features found in Casio’s basic digital lineup. The LCD screen shows the time, date, and day of the week, and users can toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats. There is an amber LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.
The watches also come with a 1/100-second stopwatch that tracks elapsed time, split time, and first- and second-place finishes. They feature a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, basic water resistance, and an auto-calendar set to a 28-day February. Casio rates their timekeeping accuracy at ±30 seconds per month.
Both watches run on a single CR1616 coin-cell battery. According to Casio’s spec sheet, the battery will last for approximately five years before it needs to be replaced.
In related news, Casio has recently launched two classic Vintage watches with stunning gold mesh bands in the US, alongside five CMK100 automatic watches featuring titanium cases and sapphire crystals.
