Questions and answers
- Which is better for everyday wear?
- The Casio A158WA-1DF. It is thinner, lighter, and its 7-year battery means less maintenance. The Kenneth Cole is bulkier and needs a battery change sooner.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Casio needs fewer battery changes, about every 7 years versus roughly 2 to 3 for the Kenneth Cole. The Kenneth Cole's mineral crystal resists scratches better than the Casio's plexiglas.
- Can I swim in either watch?
- No. Both are rated to 30 m, which covers splashes and hand washing only, not swimming or showering.
- Is the Kenneth Cole worth the extra money?
- Only if you want an analog dress watch. At recent lows the difference was under $5 ($32.49 versus $27.72 on November 4), so the choice is about style, not price.
- Which fits a smaller wrist?
- The Casio. Its 33 mm rectangular case and 18 mm lugs suit smaller wrists. The Kenneth Cole's 44 mm round case is large and may overhang a slim wrist.
