This is a new release news post. Prices below are what Casio listed at the time of writing. They can change, so confirm the live brand or retailer page before you buy.
Casio is adding the LF-40W to its Classic digital line in three colourways. The series uses a tall LCD that mixes a normal time readout with bar-style graphics that track seconds and mode status. Casio’s international product page for LF-40W-1A marks the watch NEW 11/2026 with no price shown. Casio Japan lists LF-40W-1A, LF-40W-2A and LF-40W-8A (JP codes LF-40W-1AJF, LF-40W-2AJF and LF-40W-8AJF) for November 2026 at ¥4,400 tax included per colour. Casio’s Australian distributor Shriro lists the same three colours at AU$109 each. Casio has not posted a US price for the LF-40W on a Casio US product page at the time of writing.
What The Display Does
The vertical face puts the time on top and three rows of bar-type windows below. The upper row links to watch modes and shows on or off status for the alarm, hourly time signal, operation sounds and daylight-saving. The middle and bottom rows sync with the seconds, lighting elapsed time in 10-second steps and 1-second steps. The face reads as a classic digital with an extra graphic layer for seconds and status.
