At some point who cares? It's $10 and tells the time well. There's nothing challenging to emulate in an F91W, so who really cares if it's authentic or not?
Oh I didn't know that, that was my first Casio which I still have after like almost 9 years now. It's been through a lot because I am not a stable person lmfao but it still looks fine and works like the first day I got it from Walmart
If you are allowed to choose only one watch between these. Which one will you choose? Casio 158w, 168w, f91w, gshock 5600 tough solar, casio 1200wh royale, casio a700?
5600. My GW-B5600 is really fine. it has a red display and inverse silver characters. some say it’s hard to read but i never had a problem with it. I tried to buy another one but they don’t make this exact one with the red. It doesn’t have a battery indicator tho’ (only in the app)
1. Fakes do it too 2. Fakes do it too 3. New original casios don't have it anymore Best way i found is: 1: the shade of blue on the face should be normal blue, not a light blue 2: when folding the band backwards onto the watch, fakes have horrible moulding which can be seen on the band 4: lots of fakes say japan DH on thr back 3: if you wanna be completely sure, open up the back and make sure the battery mounting is via clips and not screws, and that the buzzer prong is golden and soldered onto the board. There are many differences on the inside, but this one is easiest to see
I bought today from the official Casio Store on Amazon the same exact one, but nowadays I think the tiny "u" is gone, and the light colour is changed to yellow (probably because it's more visible?).
I have a BGD560-7 (Baby-G version of the classic G-Shock), and if you hold the 2 left buttons and bottom right button, it will display all those characters. No small u, and no CASIO display that I'm aware of, though.
I wear the casio 007 tank, pretty much just a cartier cooy cat. But I keep the f91 strapped to my bag because it been through a lot with me Casio and Cartier are my favorite watch brands. Still dont see the reason on spending over 1000$ to tell the time though. I know it wouldn't devaluate but I just can't bring myself to swipe my card for that lmao
Greetings friend, I had purchased a new 5600 G shock from Casio India website two days before. The watch displays 3495 but the documents which came with it, printed as 3496! What do you say? Is there any difference between the 3495 & 3496 modules?
I did the test and they all worked, I have the w-59. I recently bought the A159w and they all passed this test, but it sticks to the magnet, will it be a well-made replica?
Because the fakes bring in some of the money of potential buyers. Say for example 1 million dollars of consumers is potential in sales, counterfits can snag a piece of the action. Example 300 thousand out of the million is still good money
Also price is a good indicator. I paid $2000 for mine so I know it's genuine, besides I know the bar were I bought it pretty well so.. I doubt the guy there would be selling knock offs.
I definitely think mine is fake. It can do all those 3 things but the print quality on the texts are just not the same on videos I see here on youtube.
i have bought casio f91w in 1993. one of the three test is not performing in my watch. that is not showing CASIO after long press right side button.... is my watch original?
Just got a new one. The letter U isnt on it. I think it's from Thailand. I got a new one from Amazon. The button tests worked but has no U or any mention of Japan. I'm looking at the back and says made in Thailand also has the letters ED.
Yep, the latest versions don’t have the tiny “U” anymore. I just got mine from Amazon here in Canada and no “U”. I find the only real way is to try to buy from reputable sources like Amazon (not third party sellers though) and Casio themselves.
I have a Casio watch which isn't original and I bought it for just rs 650. It looks the same as of Casio vintage series and it do follow first two things
When i held the right side button casio was not displayed And u was also not written But when pressed all the three button the same characters were displayed
I just bought my Casio F91W from my local Walmart and everything adds up to it being real, but the letter "u" is not present under the "RESIST" text?? I know the watch is real but does anyone know why the newer Casio F91W's do not have the letter there at all??
Ok my one does all of that, however, within 1 week the part that the wrist straps attaches to broke, so its been useless for almost a yr now. If anyone knows how to fix that, let me know..
Yes, I saw a fake F91w yesterday, but you could say it was fake without the button combo, no tiny U present as well - the display was crooked and when I pressed the buttons you could see the display moving to the side, it also blinked 😂😂😂
Man, here I thought buying from malls that are retailer of Casio watches sell authentic watches. Just bought mine for like around $20, I don't have the small "U"
I wonder how could people possibly buy a fake casio f91watch (accidentally). It costs 20€, i wouldn't buy it in weird sites but on trusted stores or amazon
Are people actually taking the time to fake these watches? I am a die hard Casio man and I am asking in earnest. Get the GW-9400 and be done with it, get all of the models while you’re at it. It is the best watch ever made and you will have to search no more my Casio loving friends! Rejoice!
Latest models doesn't have 'u'
Can confirm
Same
True!
The way I was about to send this back to Amazon when I couldn’t find it!!
@@ichi5974me too 😂
The first one is sadly not accurate anymore, some fakes do it now too. The rest are good though
fakes always getting better! crazy they counterfeit this watch
@@sneakypetesproductreviews I know it is right.
Mine does all three but it's first copy the fakes are getting better and better everyday man 🤯
Or bought from authorized retailers!
At some point who cares? It's $10 and tells the time well. There's nothing challenging to emulate in an F91W, so who really cares if it's authentic or not?
The tiny U is discontinued now.
Only the green f91w has it consistently.
“-u-“ it has the two lines as well
I have the green one since like 2020 and it does not have the u, I bought it from Walmart
If not mistaken, the green F91 that have -u- only certain year of production... Or what we call it "limited edition"
@@kenAjun didn't know that, thank you
Where is it exactly?
Newest ones don't have the U. Mine is new and bought from the Casio store on Amazon.
this brought me so much joy to discover these features i've been wearing this watch for years and never saw them 😂
haha that's great!
I have a black one the same as this but no tiny U, I got it from a genuine Casio reseller so not sure if the lack of a U is indication of a fake.
No friend I got in Chinese shop a 5 dollars perfect copy with the little U and everything else...😊.
I got mine from Argos and I have no tiny u. Surely a massive company like argos are not selling fakes 🤔
It's still authentic. As long as the other two indication of authenticity is there.
Mine also do not have the U. I bought from the authorized casio dealer. The U doesnt matter.
@@TruesdaleTVI got mine from Walmart just now with no u also
That is so cool. I have a casio Illuminator (50m). Top left button is the one you hold down to display CASI0
Oh I didn't know that, that was my first Casio which I still have after like almost 9 years now. It's been through a lot because I am not a stable person lmfao but it still looks fine and works like the first day I got it from Walmart
I don't have the U, everything else is the same. Not to mention the flawless craftsmanship. I don't think it is fake tbh.
thanks for watching!
Mine too.
Same and I got mine from Amazon
Guys new one removed u just 😎
If you are allowed to choose only one watch between these. Which one will you choose? Casio 158w, 168w, f91w, gshock 5600 tough solar, casio 1200wh royale, casio a700?
the 5600 tough solar probably

Mine was from a genuine casio supplier in the box...no U but has the casio display shows.
I have this watch, but my favorite is the forester.
I got the forester as a graduation gift and I love it. That thing goes with me everywhere!
Same for the F105W by my eye.
1. Fakes do it too
2. Fakes do it too
3. New original casios don't have it anymore
Best way i found is:
1: the shade of blue on the face should be normal blue, not a light blue
2: when folding the band backwards onto the watch, fakes have horrible moulding which can be seen on the band
4: lots of fakes say japan DH on thr back
3: if you wanna be completely sure, open up the back and make sure the battery mounting is via clips and not screws, and that the buzzer prong is golden and soldered onto the board. There are many differences on the inside, but this one is easiest to see

Came across this video at two in the morning and got up to check if mine was legit which I knew it was but I had to check. Haha. It’s legit !!! 👊🏼🤙🏼
Love the Iced Earth shirt
I am wearing a replica bought at a flea market. It does the 3 button thing, but not the Casio on the display one.
I have a BGD560-7 (Baby-G version of the classic G-Shock), and if you hold the 2 left buttons and bottom right button, it will display all those characters. No small u, and no CASIO display that I'm aware of, though.
This authenticity check was only implement in 2011, plus now fake manufacturers are coding this “easter egg”
Yep
I have purchased two from separate trusted retailers and neither are made in China and have the u
Thanks so much appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Any time!
I wear the casio 007 tank, pretty much just a cartier cooy cat. But I keep the f91 strapped to my bag because it been through a lot with me Casio and Cartier are my favorite watch brands.

No way!!! That’s awesome
Greetings friend, I had purchased a new 5600 G shock from Casio India website two days before. The watch displays 3495 but the documents which came with it, printed as 3496!
What do you say?
Is there any difference between the 3495 & 3496 modules?
Just want to check can there be a possibility if the watch is fake post its warranty checks ..?
Works with w86 too!
I did the test and they all worked, I have the w-59. I recently bought the A159w and they all passed this test, but it sticks to the magnet, will it be a well-made replica?
I have the green one and doesn't have the u, but it does the other two things
Got me worried because it's not showing casio but when i hold all the buttons it shows the numbers
works with casio a164 to wich I believe is basically the same module.
This watch is about 20 quid why would anyone bother to make a fake. Great watches btw
you got me, it’s odd but true
Because the fakes bring in some of the money of potential buyers. Say for example 1 million dollars of consumers is potential in sales, counterfits can snag a piece of the action. Example 300 thousand out of the million is still good money
Very useful video, thank you
Thanks for checking it out!
Also price is a good indicator. I paid $2000 for mine so I know it's genuine, besides I know the bar were I bought it pretty well so.. I doubt the guy there would be selling knock offs.
mine does everything but the showing of casio when holding down the right button
0:13 almost 7 minutes to 420 !
Thanks
No problem
Mines has every feature but no tiny U :(
I still like my watch very much, I got it from a mall in PR for like 35 bucks
what's the really really tiny thing to watch for at bottom?
The letter U
Bought one from a well established jewelry shop and it doesn’t have that small letter u. Does it mean mine is fake?
Everybody needs to have a Casio.
I ordered mine from Amazon and it's country of origin says China is it authentic?
Yes they make them in china malaysia and Japan
@@anton0529Thailand too. The new F91Ws are made in Thailand and come without the tiny “U”.
when i look at it in some angles, the glass is not clear. Is it normal?
yah usually not good at all angles
The watches are so affordable, why would anyone buy a counterfeit?
they often don't realize it
Because they sell 3M of these units a year. Why wouldn’t you copy it?
Or care if they did?? Both made in China
They cost like what, 20 bucks. Well, for some people it's actually makes difference to buy $10 copy and not $20 original
Nah i got a159w it's made in japan @@seanlinnan2719
I had no idea there were fake ones! 😮
I know right? insane to counterfeit an inexpensive watch like this
I definitely think mine is fake. It can do all those 3 things but the print quality on the texts are just not the same on videos I see here on youtube.
What is the price?
Very inexpensive
I purchased mine for 2 dollars and it shows none of the above. Is it automatic?
hmm might not be authentic
Mine does everything except it doesn't have the u
Not only, the og have a slight greenish display and a fine viewing angle👍
Mine does everything except have the u i just hope its a good watch thats all i want it to be.
New batches do not have the "U" anymore. Mine doesn't too... I successfully registered mine on Casio website and got the warranty too.
@@srikar9 thank you 😎
No u in my new watch, but I got it from a Casio showroom
Same the new watches don’t have it
Yeah I bought two from Bic Camera in Akihabara and they don’t have the u.
I wear a Casio A168WE since 6years everyday and did not know the watch can do this
i have bought casio f91w in 1993. one of the three test is not performing in my watch. that is not showing CASIO after long press right side button.... is my watch original?
I would imagine it probably is I don’t think there was nearly as many fake ones back then
3 functions are also available in fake one now i am confused
🤐
Just got a new one. The letter U isnt on it. I think it's from Thailand. I got a new one from Amazon. The button tests worked but has no U or any mention of Japan. I'm looking at the back and says made in Thailand also has the letters ED.
My f91w doesn’t have the u but it is a great jellyfish colourway. Is it fake??
probably not if you got it from a licensed retailer
I have the first two indications but the tiny u is absent. So what is the result. is it authentic?
tough to say, might well be

I have the U and the information but sadly no casio.... Is it real or fake
