CasioSTANDARD DIGITAL WATCH WITH LED-LIGHT F-91W-1JF

The watch not only looks great, but it feels solid, what for something so light it impressed me, forget I’m wearing the thing sometimes, and for what you get this is a bargain of a price, functionality wise lots of modes to choose from, and anything you might need is guaranteed to be there, especially happy to see they got the ability to switch between 24 hour and 12, as someone who lives in the UK much prefer the 24 hours one for sure, and although this thing is small it’s not a bad thing, I like it’s so light and small, could wear this for days without any issues, I don’t use it, but the alarm function seems solid, and you can toggle between all the settings, but amongst the alarm function options I prefer having it off completely, as I don’t like it particularly on any watch and makes it hard to wear in public spaces. Idk how water resistant this thing is, but it’s withstood the water it has gotten on it through the days naturally very well.

Light weight, it's comfortable if you adjust it right and has great water resistance. Overall good watch if you just want to tell the time.

I bought this as I hadn't owned a digital watch since the '90's. It's a great digital watch with quite basic functions as expected. The face is nice and clear with no reflection problems with the acrylic crystal. The strap is surprisingly comfortable, very lightweight with plenty of holes to fit any wrist. Although due to the material and how the strap is connected I can hear a little creaking noise coming from that area occasionally when it's quiet, but if I just adjust how it's sitting the noise goes away. My daughter liked the watch and wanted me to buy her one so she got a transparent pink one as you can see from the photo. She's 12 and small at that and it fits her wrist just fine. Although I will say the strap on her watch is more plasticky than mine. Also I didn't buy the pink one from Amazon as I found it much cheaper elsewhere.I've had a few splashes on the watch whilst doing dishes and such with no issues whatsoever so the water resistance is fine. The watch hasn't picked up any scratches so far and I wear it daily, even to work.As far as functionality is concerned it has the watch (obviously), a light, an alarm, a stopwatch, day/date display, a chime function and an am/pm or 24 hour display. The alarm is quite quick and easy to set and double beeps every second for twenty seconds if it isn't cancelled. The chime function double beeps once on the hour every hour but can be turned off if you prefer; I have mine on as I quite like it. The stopwatch does what it should and can be paused and restarted but doesn't have a lap element so is limited in its usefulness. EDIT 30/11/24 - I recently discovered that if you press the light button whilst using the stopwatch that it does pause the stopwatch and displays the word "lap". Pressing the light button again takes you back to the stopwatch which has continued counting in the interim so it turns out the stopwatch does indeed have a lap function.You can set the day and the month but the watch only displays the day and date but not the month. I don't have a problem with this but some might. The light is pretty woeful; a small green light on the left that only really illuminates the left hand side of the display. You can read the full time in the dark with the light on but it's not easy. If you ever owned a digital watch in the '80's or '90's you'll probably be aware of what the light is like. There is a mod that can be done if you are so inclined to improve the light. If you search on YouTube for "Casio Module 593 (F91W) Backlight Spreader Mod Installation Tutorial", I may do this at some point.There is no timer function so if you need that I would look elsewhere. I use the alarm as a timer sometimes as like I said it's pretty easy and quick to set (if you hold down the select button for a second or two the numbers cycle faster).All in all I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a cheap, reliable digital piece of nostalgia!

Does the job.

The only things to survive the apocalypse will be cockroaches and Casio F-91Ws. The watch collector's watch - smart, accurate, indestructible, cheap. Does all you ever really need a watch to do. Anything more is pure vanity. Be smart - buy one, buy them all. You know it makes sense.

Love this casio watch, simple in design and comfortable to wear.

There are several flags that this is a fake F91W. No sticker on the tag. There is a slight slant to the display. The display has poor viewing angles. The letter "L" in Light is missing. The backplate says Japan, but even those Casio is a Japanese company these watches are made in China or Thailand. The "u" under resist is too large. Metal on the backplate is brushed vertically rather than horizontally. Screws are different than a genuine F91W. Embossed Casio on the strap has an O that is too square. Inside the rubber gasket is irregular. The arm that touches the buzzer is screwed on to the circuit board rather than soldered. The battery is a no-name brand while the genuine tend to use Panasonic. It has a blue through-hold capacitor mounted to the board. The battery holder is attached entirely with screws (making battery replacement a hassle). The black plastic covering the chip is more sloppily applied.

Setup easy enough. Clear to read in daylight. Light barely illuminated screen in the night. Strap seems brittle.
