    This watch has the heart of a lion. I bought it back in 1989, when I started my basic training in the U.S. Army. It survived everything we threw at it. The horrible humidity of New Jersey, the sand, water, mud, and of course, non-stop action in the direst of conditions in turning me into a real, badass soldier. The Casio laughed at all that and got me through basic training easy. It survived for several years during my Army tour of duty. The straps, after being tortured by sweat, grime and all the elements from cold to extreme heat and endless hours of physical training finally went out. But the watch itself never did. I wore that thing until it could not be worn no more. It is the Toyota of watches. It may not be attractive, but it will never let you down. And that is a beauty all of its own.

      @@yousefalkhudair4420 There are some places on the world, where 8 dollars is quite huge amount of money; in Poland, in the beginning of the 90's, this watch, as well as many others, was a symbol of wealth, futurism and cool breeze from west - it wasn't cheap, because taxes and traders wind up their price, but it was still affordable for everyone. Now times changed; 45 zlotys (10 dollars) is half of the money you get here for one day of work for least legally payed job. If this guy, that want to save 8 dollars is not an adult with job, and he lives in one of those not as wealthy as west countries, I can believe that he has to save that amount of money for a little while.

    I bought a Casio W800H in 2012 while stationed at Ft. Hood for about $20. It has been great for me. My wife liked it so much that she asked me to get one for her. My wife has a habit of frequently breaking or losing her wristwatches. So ,a few months ago, I bought an F91W for her for $10 . My W800H broke where the band connects to the watch a few months ago, so I bought an F91W for $10 for me. My wife lost her first F91W, so I bought her another one for her birthday. Her birthday was about two weeks ago and she still has it. Now both of us have the same model again.It has been a very nice watch for the price. I am happy that I bought them. I have also noticed several people at work who have the same model wristwatch.

    I used one for 20 years straight. My father gave to me when I was 12 years old, and I took it off when I was 32 years old because the screen became too dim, too faded and it was becoming hard to see the hours. I can guarantee it's crazy water resistant, you can swim all day long using it how many times you want. I had some scratches in it from my teenage years. I never used another clock, since now we have clocks everywhere we go, but if I was to buy another one it would have to be this one.

      I just bought a random watch the other day so I can wear at work and not worry about scratching my cell phone etc. It was the only small digital watch in the shop which wasn't one of those biffy watches, so I bought it. It was the w-59, same watch as f-91w but with slightest bigger buttons. Today RUclips randomly recommends this video and saw it in the thumbnail. I don't even watch similar channels! This may be the best purchase I made for 20 euros.

    I got mine in the 90's but lost it in the house until a year ago. I was shocked when I saw that it is still working without the batterie ever changed in all the years. And what is even more unbelievable is that the time and date is still right. The only thing is that the wrist band is broken on one side, so I ordered a new set to replace it, hope it comes in the next few days. But all in all a really good watch.

  • @Spekkfps
    @Spekkfps 5 лет назад +164

    After field testing it, rather literally, I thought I would share a few remarks about this watch for potential buyers.
    1. Looses about 1 second per month
    2. It is more water-resistant than marketed. Wore it for swimming, multiple showers, hand washing and general water involved work. There are also records of it being used in Scuba diving, and examples on this can be found here on RUclips
    3. Very lightweight, low-key, and durable. There are multiple destruction videos of this watch on RUclips, and they all showcase the same thing: it´s tough!
    4. Offers alot of functionality for the pricepoint.
    5. In hot climates, there might develop a bit of sweat underneath the stainless steel back and your wrist which gets trapped, and can cause some discomfort and annoyance. Remove the watch, rub off the sweat, and put it back on.

      @@eeyyaakk6801 Could be minutes, my bad. Also heard different numbers from different people, so there might be some inconsistencies with each individual watch. Regardless, amazing watch and something I cannot recommend enough. A usual complaint is the backlight, and that there is a more premium version with a better backlight. My take on this is that it is completely irrelevant to the function of the watch, as the backlight in the F91W works just fine for its intended purpose. Those words also reflect the watch very well; it´s just fine!

    I own a GWM-5610 G-Shock, it has a higher quality strap, an atomic clock that’s always accurate and never needs to be set, solar battery that will last a long time, an automatic backlight. And it’s a G-Shock, the thing can go through hell and still display the time. Yet I find myself wearing the F-91w way more than my G-Shock. This watch is not just a simple bit of nostalgia or a piece of plastic with numbers on it, it’s an icon. I knock it against the wall while working, ding it up against the table constantly, and all it has after several months is a few small scratches after being banged on metal all the time. Put a bit of polywatch on there and it looks almost new besides the scratches on the strap. I work as a dishwasher and had my coworker once look at me like a madman when I put a bit of dawn dish soap on it and wash it. This thing gets soaked at my job and all I do is just wipe it down if it gets too wet, if it can withstand the power of a restaurant dish sprayer, I think it can stand a bit of swimming or a shower. Casio is the undisputed goat of watches. Like someone else said they may not look the best but they are way more practical and will get the job done way better than those fancy watches will, especially G-Shocks. I wish my G-Shock could be the size of the F-91w because that would be the perfect watch. All those features combined with the comfort of the F-91w, plus it won’t interfere with long sleeves really at all which is an issue with the G-Shock, plus it doesn’t stay on one place on my wrist which gets annoying. Buy it. I think it might actually be the best watch I’ve ever owned or at least Top 3.

      Yeah he doesn't know the full line. A168 is the electroluminescent version of the A158/159, which in turn is the metallic version of the F-91W.

    This watch can digest most abuse, and may outlast you. I bought Japanese one in 2000, battery replced once in 2008 and still running in 2021.

    All the watches I've had ever since elementary school was Casios. Using a smartwatch now for the extra functions but Casio will always have a special place in my heart. You make me wanna buy one again!

    The review was overall right on the money, still I like to add a few points. While one may find similarly low priced watches in the market, if he is looking, the Casio F-91W is a branded quality watch, which is famous for its longevity and reliability. Also it's a unique design, with an in-house movement. Upon inspection of the watch, one admires its honest build, which is rare this day. It uses every square millimeters inside, to accommodate an oversized battery, without charging extra for it, beside the larger than usual movement. That is also rare. For comparison sake, let's take a typical low priced 'fashion watch' which may look good on the outside, but it doesn't deliver. The watch and the case designers usually put a tiny Myota movement in, with the help of plastic spacers, to fill the emptiness inside. This tiny movement obviously has an even tinier battery inside, which in my experience won't last much longer than a year.

    The best timepiece ever. It tells time. I'm a practical man, I prefer function over form, I've bought one idk how many years ago, all I know is that I've replaced it's battery twice and it's still going. It's been my alarm clock when camping, it's been my chronograph when working out, and it's been telling me time. All I could ask from a watch.

    My absolute favourite watch was a Casio, it had both Analogue and digital time with the clock face being the colour of a classic LCD display, the analogue time was displayed through physical hands and the digital time was displayed by an LCD display that overlayed over the hands (I personally had the digital display show the date over the hands which showed the time) I wish I still had that watch 😪
