Lots of Walmarts have been selling Casios on clearance for probably 5 or more years now. You can search it up. I don't know why they are getting rid of Casio. But they are.

 

Not so in my area. Casios seldom discounted at Walmart.

 

Is the watch case locked or open? I went to one Walmart and there were plenty. I t had a locked cabinet. You had to ask to get a watch. I went to another and could not find what I wanted. That case was not locked. Casio could shift production to Vietnam if tarriffs are an issue. Our Wal marts are farther apart in North Dakota. If I went to 5 it would take all day.

 

Tariffs have nothing to do with it; Walmart has been slowly phasing out their Casio line for years now.

 

Demand is just too high.

You'll need to go to a Casio AD and ask very politely if they're willing to put you on the list. They're more likely to do so if you buy another Casio first, to build a relationship with the AD.
If they offer you an A158 instead, be sure to take it, and flip it later if needed. You'll get the call for that F-91W eventually.

For goodness sake, they're CASIOS. I don't think Casio plays games like Rolex does anyway.

 

Same local to me. Casio likely shifting their sales to their stronger partner (or "AD") Amazon.

Their in-house brand OEMs are sliding up and cover any impulse sales at B&M.

 

Walmart has been trimming back watches ever since they took axed jewelry counters. You could check your local TJ Maxx

 

My Walmarts moved the watch racks and still have the same (for now) shelf space for Casios, Timexes, and the $11 watches (and another brand - Tru Time or similar). Just the Casio shelves are empty. It’s weird.

 

Visiting 5 Walmarts on the hunt for a $10 watch...

Tell us you’re retired without telling us you’re retired.

 

I work from home and do much of my shopping at Walmart so I get around 👍

 

Walmart around here, Casio seems to me among the stolen, judging by the jumble of empty boxes and stands.

But, I did score a closeout step counter model for $6...

 

Nine months ago, I became a Walmart Plus online member for $49 a year. It has been a life changer. I used to go to Walmart (seven in my rotation depending on what I was looking for) a minimum of twice a week for groceries/hardware/fishing lures/detergent etc. Now I just order online and free delivery to my house (tip is optional)

 

The key to finding a very specific item on the Walmart Online app is to search the specific item in Google + “Walmart”

 

Target and Fred Meyer in my area long ago phased out selling watches in the general merchandise areas.

Honestly, considering the lengths my local Walmart has gone towards preventing shoplifting of what watches they do keep in stock, I'm surprised they also haven't just given up and replaced the area with something else.

 

I've been seeing this since early this summer. Here's what it's looked like at my neighborhood WalMart (Casios have always been in the left side of the cabinet):

January 2025 -- this is what it's looked like for years.

Unless it changes soon I'm just going to switch entirely to Amazon Prime. Order and have it delivered in a couple of days.

 

The Kohl’s down the road from my house closed six months ago. RIP

Amazon and Walmart/Walmart online are unstoppable forces of nature.

 

The Wally Worlds in my area severely shrank their jewelry depts during the pandemic, and the selection and deals are hard to find there now. I still walk past that area when I am there, but i don't expect to find a good deal, and never do lately.

 

Kohl's still sells watches online but not in any stores I have been in for a couple of years. Watch counters replaced by Sephora counters.

 

*the following will contain generalities and conclusions derived from generalities while understanding that there are exceptions

In general, women do more shopping in physical stores than men. They tend to enjoy it more. The most profitable (largest profit margins) items include makeup (lipsticks, blush, eyeshadows and such). These items cost pennies to make (wax/clay plus coloring dyes) and they can sell for hundreds of dollars. They are also in tiny packages/containers that hardly take up any space. They don’t require any maintenance like winding or changing out batteries to put on display. Not surprising that watch counters have been replaced by cosmetic displays across the land.

 

Agree. Our WM's used to carry various Casio models, but nowadays they are few and far between......

 

And be aware that Walmart.com has been using their .com site as a platform for other sellers, be careful who you're actually buying from. You may be paying Walmart but in reality you're doing business with a third-party seller.

 

A quick search on Amazon pulled this up for me, you almost had me worried. It's a $16 watch.

 

Come to think of it... I didn't see any Casios at Sam's Club yesterday and there's usually a few.

 

I am shocked that people actually buy groceries and shop around for $15-20 watches at a Walmart. JMHO

 

Everybody needs a hobby 👍 I have always enjoyed seeing what watches are for sale locally since I first saw watches in the Timex display at our local drug store as a kid.

 

Today’s offerings…
Looks like Invicta is taking over.

 

Yes; not all Wmarts are equal. Choose wisely.

The people who shop at Walmart in Devils Lake( I mostly shop there.) are farmers and just regular people. I have not noticed the women wearing skimpy clothes and outrageous outfits you see on you tube. What really gets my attention are women in skirts or dresses. You rarely see that. I don't look down on walmart shoppers we are all imperfect.

 

I will also mention spare key making machine and barbershop. Truly an American marvel. If Walmart doesn’t have it, you don’t need it.

 

I haven’t seen a photo center at my local Walmart, but I could’ve missed it. I have seen that key making machine. I think my local CVS still prints photos.

CVS and Walgreen still prints photos. I don't need to print photos other than my yearly passport photos for International Driving Permit (IDP) but cost to take and print 2x2 passport photos is ridiculous. Most places want $17-$25 just for 2 basic photos. Costco was like $5 for passport photos and it was great and convenient until they stopped photos and got rid of all their photo machines during Covid. But thanks to AI, it's easier than ever to take a picture with smartphone, edit, crop, and duplicate in 2x2 size on 4x6 paper to make DIY passport photo. Gives me 4 pictures on a single 4x6 paper so I have 2 years passport photo supply for 16 cents vs paying $40. I need yearly IDP so I can rent a car in Japan, South Korea, China, and others while I travel.

 

Check the lost and found. Should be a few in there.

 

Currently, the U.S. has a higher tarriff rate on watches shipped from China than the Philippines. Wondering if this is the issue. Most of the entry-level Casio watches come from China. In contrast, 80% of Timex watches come from the Philippines, which currently has 19% tarrifs on watches. This could be a or the main factor. We will see.

 

Current, the U.S. has 120% tarrifs on watches shipped from China. Wondering if this is the issue. In contrast, 80% of Timex watches come from the Philippines, which currently has 19% tarrifs on watches. This could be a or the main factor. We will see.

Current US tariff on China imports is 30%, not 120%.
