Casio's upcoming ABL-100 gives one of their most famous watches a Bluetooth upgrade
Arguably one of the most famous Casio watches of all time, the A168's design is getting a big update with the latest addition to their Casio Vintage collection. The new ABL-100 takes the design of the A168 and freshens it up with a slightly updated look, a 7-link bracelet, and its biggest feature, Bluetooth. The Bluetooth-enabled Smartphone Link feature allows owners to connect to their smartphone for automatically setting the time and it also has an accelerometer for step tracking. The watch also features a 12/24 hour display, multiple alarms, auto calendar, battery status, a countdown timer, date/weekday display, LED backlight, and a dual time function.
The watch is set to launch in Japan this August and additional markets are expected to follow in the coming months.
