Best simple digital watch ever! Takes a licking & keeps on kicking!
Love this watch. Have been wearing this model since the 1980s. Sturdy, functional, reliable, accurate & lasts for years & years. Easy to use and set up the date, time, stop watch, timer and alarm. All functions work as they should. Choice of on the hour reminder chime, 12 or 24 hour display and the alarm beeps gradually accend in volume, gently waking the wearer without disturbing those nearby who want to keep sleeping.The back light dims out after several years. The watches themselves have never cracked or broken. Rough on watches. One was replaced when lens became cloudy, covered in an accumulation over time of tiny scratches from repeated contact with rough surface . Another replacedment was bc one of the holes where the bar for the watch strap sits became enlarged & would not hold bar any longer after the strap got hung up & thankfully pop the bar out, saving my wrist. The strap has hung up before, breaking the strap instead of popping out the bar. I'm not 100%sure but I think it was a newer replacement watch band that pulled the bar outBattery & strap sre simple to replace.Oh and this watch can handle being caked with mud, paint, dust, sand, etc..., covered in shampoos, lotions, etc.., and even sprayed with cleaning liquids (bleach, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and moreNever take it off, except to clean it or . It's waterproof in the pool, tub, shower, lake & ocean snorkeling & even held up on a 30 min. shallow scuba dive average depth 20ft.Ladies, if you like simple, practical, watches, but find ladies' digital watches too small and men's either too big and thick check this watch out. I don't even notice I'm wearing it. It doesn't catch on clothing or anything except for when overcome by an occasionsl knucklehead moment and move too fast before looking. Correction. When it's really cold and multiple long sleeve layers are wrapped in sleeves with elastic wrist cuffs,adjust xthe watch location for comfort.and move move way too fast farms, in the barns, corals, pastures and pensBest simple digital watch, ever.

The One To Get
This is the "Classic" Casio to get... not the F91W. It's essentially the same as the F91, but with a MUCH better illumination function. The light on the F91 is useless, and this watch is only a couple bucks more. The size is "small" for a man, only by today's ridiculous standards. This is a perfect, unobtrusive size in my opinion. It's light, comfortable and tells the time and date... I don't know why anyone would want to wear a big, bulky clock on their wrist, other than to have people around them take notice of how stupid it looks, or maybe they're compensating? Might need a longer strap for those with thicker wrists. This is a perfect watch.

Simple, Durable, and High Value
Handles sweat, showers, and rain with ease. I haven't gone scuba diving with it so I can't tell you the exact failure depth, but I think if you keep it reasonable and stay in the swimming pool you should be just fine.The construction is pretty damn good, especially considering the price. I have another Casio of the same type but with the silver body and metal band, it has held up to countless impacts and scratches. This version should hold up even better, given the tough rubber band is the only real functional difference. The body, glass, buttons, and back face are all exactly the same. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!The illumination is even and sufficient, not so much it'll blow your night vision out but bright enough you will easily read the display. The stopwatch function works great too, I use it for timing my running exercises every week.I really can't recommend this watch enough. It is no frills and no BS, just a simple watch that will probably last longer than you will.

Illuminator makes this > F91 in terms of function ππ»
Great daily. Pretty slim wrist here and fits perfect. Lightweight enough to wear to bed, can hardly feel it. I wanted something with a light and the illuminator on this is miles beyond the F91 as it comes from Casio. For $17 itβs a no brainer. Easy to modify as well if you are handy - added a tint film to give it a custom look. Would recommend.

Watch band breaks like clockwork at 3 years
Great watch for the money. I have been buying these for years and looked back at my Amazon orders. The watch never dies, the band breaks and the watch can be used as a pocket watch for years and years afterward if you wanted. I have bought this same watch in 2020, 2017, and 2014 on Amazon. So like clockwork the band breaks every 3 years. Other than that, this is a great watch and I'll buy another one now in 2023.UPDATE: I've been noticing that the alarm does not work on the last couple of these watches that I have bought.

Electro-Luminescence Greatness - My Sleep Watch
This is the watch I sleep with at night because of it's outstanding Electro-Luminescence backlight. It's also so light and comfortable that you forget you are wearing it! This watch is made of resin, including for the display, so expect it to be easily scratched. Accuracy is +/- 30 seconds per month according to Casio, but mine has been much more accurate than this. Features include telling you the time (hah), setting a single alarm, hourly beep/chime, and includes a stopwatch. I'm a fan of the blue bezel, makes it look retro 80s.You can also purchase after-market mods for this watch, which I did. I bought a skxmod case and bracelet, which even elevates this watch to a higher level.Highly recommend this watch, it's a steal for the price!
