Perfect Watch for non watch wearers
I am well accustomed to looking at my cell phone for all things, including time. That said, itâs not always appropriate.I needed this watch because I am a reader at Mass, our Priest likes to be very punctual on time, and as you can imagine, itâs not cool having phone alarms going off during Mass.The time is incredibly accurate, it looks stylish enough to not be a detrimental, nor is it too flashy that it draws attention. Perfectly neutral. Also, the numbers are large enough, and the backlight does work in dark situations.And the cost is exceptional.Just set it one time and youâre done. I only wear it when I need to, but itâs not uncomfortable to wear.If I wore the watch all the time, I would get a elastic band for taking on and off to be easier, but since itâs an occasional thing, the band is perfectly fine.

It’s perfect.
If you’re considering buying this, JUST BUY IT. It’s fantastically affordable. The design is fantastic. Very legible large numbers. Oh, and at least on the blue one, the light somehow illuminates the numbers while leaving the background dark, so that in the dark it looks like a glowing negative display. I don’t know of any other Casio that has this effect. It looks absolutely brilliant. It’s extremely light and the minimalist design makes it sleek. I somehow like this more than I do my G-shock 5610u, which is saying a lot considering how much I love that.

Casio value and function best in watches.
This is a really great watch. It is a good size at 41 mm, shows hour, minutes, and seconds. It also shows day and date, and is programmed to change from 31 to 30 days depending upon the month and February is set for 28 days, so only leap year would have to be set manually. It also has a stop watch with 100thâs of a second and records up to a 60 minutes before you have to reset. It is very easy to program, has a 7 year lithium battery and best of all costs $17. You have to take care not to beat the face up. It scratches easily. I just wear a beater watch or none at all if I know I will be doing something that could easily scratch it. So lightweight and the band is very comfortable and easy to clean with soap and water. Inexpensive, accurate, comfortable, and nice looking, all at a really great price. You canât beat Casio for this type of watch.

Gold and Black version looks expensive
Such a fantastic watch. The functionality is practical and simple. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and find that 38mm looks great – anything smaller wouldn’t look right, for my taste. The black and gold version looks amazing, I love the gold back screen with amber light too. The overall aesthetic looks expensive and elevated. Ive gotten many positive compliments on the watch from other watch enthusiasts – which considering its a$20ish watch is pretty impressive. I would highly recommend.

The F91W Grew Up.
Glad I heard about this watch. My F91W is a good little watch– great value for its price– & justifiably a classic from Casio, the undisputed king of digital watches. But the F91W is smal– more like a boy’s watch– with a truly sorry light & the bare minimum of water resistance. Couple bucks more (truly) gets you this watch, which is grownup size but not oversized & has actually useful water resistance & great illumination. Same functions as the F91W, which means what you need in a basic watch without a bunch of silly James Bond crap you’ll probably never use. Another improvement is greatly improved legibility. Actually the most legible digital I have. The one drawback is the strap. It’s smooth & a bit long for my taste. This keeps the single keeper from holding it perfectly flat, but there is no reason you couldn’t clip a half-inch or so off of it. Certainly no kind of a dealbreaker in an awesome daily-wear watch that cost me less than $20. Definitely can recommend.

Golden display easier to read
Very nice watch, I like the size better then the classic models. FYI, the version with the golden display is easier to read than the other colors. Better contrast.

I love this modern classic
So I bought this as a gag for an 80’s theme party since it’s pretty much an updated version of the classic F91W and retains most of that look in a more modern format. What started as a gag turned into a love story. I got much more expensive and arguably “nicer” watches than this, yet I LOVE wearing this as a daily driver. It’s super legible, comfortable, and resilient. It’s simple enough, yet it has stopwatch and alarm complications that give it just as much functionality as anyone would need. The light on this is actually great, as opposed to the F91W which had a horrendous light. It has enough water resistance for all your usual things: showering, getting in a pool, beach, etc. As long as you don’t go diving, you don’t have to worry about it. Great little watch with a side of nostalgia for less than $20. Can’t do better than that.

Works well I mean it’s a watch

You won’t regret getting this. I have a few nicer metal analog watches but wanted more of an everyday watch. One that I could go hiking, boating, etc without having to worry about damage or losing it.You can’t go wrong for around $25. Here’s a few pros and cons.Pros:-inexpensive-from a trusted brand-simple design, easy to use-can display 24hr timeCons:-I find as a right handed watch wearer that while moving sometimes I hit the button to change between 12 and 24 hr time. I prefer to stay on 24 hr time so I wish the button wasn’t quite so sensitive-as far as I can tell, the buckle on the strap is plastic. Seeing as it is quite thin, I suspect it’ll probably break at some point and I’ll have to get a new band (or for the price, just a new watch).

El reloj es buena opción, para aquellos que solo lo utilicen para consultar la hora, como usar de vez en cuando el reloj o tener una alarma y no quieran tener aplicaciones inteligentes ni nada de eso, pero que se vea bien. Además considero que es buena opción para trabajar y el precio se me hace perfecto, ya que en caso de robo o asalto no te dolerá perder un reloj de este precio a uno inteligente que cuestan mucho más.
