CasioF91W Series | Digital Watch | Water Resistant | LED Light | 1/100 SEC Stopwatch | Regular Time Keeping (HR, Min, SEC, PM, Date, Day) | Daily Alarm | Lightweight | 7 Year Battery

I ordered this watch to have a basic, functional wall before a backpacking trip. It's easy to set, is slim and light, and it looks just the right amount of old school dorky. I'm not taking it scuba diving, so I didn't need the water resistance of a G-Shock, so this is a great value for the money when you need a basic watch to tell time, and know it will keep running accurately.

This is hands-down the best budget daily watch I’ve ever owned. It’s sleek, durable, and super comfortable—you can wear it all day without even noticing it’s on. The classic Casio design looks great and goes with anything, and the bright backlight is a nice bonus for low-light situations.What I love most is that it’s helped me check the time without constantly reaching for my phone, which has actually helped me stay more focused throughout the day. If you want a no-nonsense digital watch that’s built to last, this is the one. Highly recommend.

Simple, cheap, reliable, timeless design (pun intended). Replace the plastic band with a sturdy NATO strap for a durable and iconic style.

Great watch for every day use. Comfortable and long lasting. I've been wearing this watch daily for six months now, and it's holding up great with minimal scratching. I wash my hands with it on, but I do not shower or swim with it, so I cannot truly attest to water resistance though it seems okay. Watch quality:Decent. Time display:Has a light that is decent quality. Great low price watch.

I had been looking for a relatively cheap digital watch, preferably from Casio, as a simple watch to start the New Year off with. When I searched "casio digital watch" this was about the second product listing, so I knew it had to be a decent watch. I had worn it for a day or two and have since replaced it with the [insert link here]. Here is my review of the Casio F91W-1 and an explanation of why I replaced it.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Design & Build:For just over $10, this Casio has great build quality and a cool retro design. In fact, the Casio F91W has been produced since 1991 and even has its own Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W) page! The design of the Casio is simple and classic and is probably one of the reasons why this watch is still successful after 25 years! The watch is very thin, - only 8 millimeters - especially for a digital watch, which is about the same thickness as an iPhone 5. The watch face is made of plastic and is not recessed into the body, meaning that while it is flush with the casing it can be scratched easily. The casing of the watch is made of resin which is pretty standard in most digital watches. The band is also made of resin and is comfortable enough for a $10 watch. One complaint that I have about the watches build quality is the material of which the band buckle is made of. The band buckle is made of ordinary black plastic which I can see breaking in a year or two. While I can't vouch for the longevity of this watch, I can almost confidently say that that plastic buckle will be the first part to break. Other than that, the watch features nice easy-to-press buttons which stick out from the watch a millimeter or two. The buttons are very easy to press, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing as they might be pressed accidentally. The top left button activates the display light which is very weak and only lights up from one side of the display, meaning that the left part of the display is kind of bright while the further you get to the right side of the display the light dims drastically. This seems like one of the areas Casio had to cut corners with in order to cut the cost, however, it is only a minor complaint with a $10 watch. The light shines a green light and only turns on while the button is depressed, which is kind of annoying. Digital watches I have owned in the past stayed on for a few seconds, but again, this is only a minor complaint with a $10 watch. Finally, the Casio features water RESISTANCE, not waterproofing, therefore I wouldn't go swimming with it, however, other users have reported diving with it so the decision is ultimately up to you. Overall, the Casio F91W features a simple and timeless design, as well as pretty good build quality for $10. The display light has some issues and the watch is only water resistant, but these things don't matter too much in a $10 watch.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fit:I have around a 6-inch wrist and this watch fit great. I used a hole more towards the end of the band away from the case and it fit comfortably while not being too loose. The watch is very light and once it is on you almost forget it is there. The case is also thin and doesn't add much bulk to your arm. For me, the watch face was a good size proportionate to my wrist. It might have been a little small for my liking but it definitely didn't get in the way. Overall, I am happy with how the F91W fit on my wrist.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Overall:This watch is a great watch for the price. While I can't vouch for the longevity of this watch, I can say that it features a great design and decent build quality, as well as a good and comfortable fit (at least for my wrists). To conclude, if you have a bit over $10 to spend on a digital watch, you really can't go wrong with the Casio F91W.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pros:- Classic simple design- Decent build quality- Comfortable- Thin and light- Easy-to-press buttons- Good fit for me- Accurate time-keeping (Casio claims that the watch is accurate to ±30 seconds per month due to the quartz movement of the watch)Cons:- Weak plastic band buckle- Easily scratched plastic face- Weak and poorly designed display light- Buttons may get accidentally pressed- Only water resistant---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why I Replaced it:Even though the Casio F91W is a great watch for the money, I decided I wanted something a bit nicer, even if it meant spending a little bit more money. After browsing Amazon for other Casio watches, I came across the G-Shock G100-BV Men's Black Resin Sport Watch. The reason why I replaced the F91W isn't because it isn't a good watch, instead, I replaced it because I wanted something a little nicer with a more rugged design. To conclude, I replaced the F91W not because it wasn't good, but because of personal preference.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you found this review helpful I would appreciate it if you clicked the "helpful" button below this review.
