Casio Turns Iconic Wristwatch into a Desk Clock

Casio has decided to turn back time by enlarging the dimensions of its classic 1989 A158 digital wristwatch. The Casio DQD-851J-8JF desk clock, which will bring a retro touch to workspaces, measures 102 x 117 x 48 millimeters and weighs 185 grams.

The old clock, which was prepared as a desk clock, offers a few features that are suitable for modern life in its new version. There's a thermometer and hygrometer, five different sound levels, a customizable snooze alarm, a fully automatic calendar and the option to switch between 12/24 hour time formats. There is also an amber LED light to make it easier to see the time late at night, making it easier to read the display in the dark.

Powered by two AA batteries, the desk clock can run for one year without needing a battery replacement. The watch is available in Japan for around $29.
