Your brief point about fake Casios and how “just a few dollars” can be such a big deal for some people was honestly a sobering thought. Makes one thankful to be able to live so comfortably. I appreciate you’ve got that perspective. I won’t name names, but I feel many people in the watch community don’t.

Right, I recently gave someone a watch as a present, nothing real fancy (compared to my collection), but an ok-ish microbrand watch. During a conversation later with their significant other they were saying how nice it was and how expensive it must have been, my response was "no not really, I mean it's a nice watch and it looks much more expensive than it is, but it's only around $400." Well their jaws dropped, they were amazed and completely shocked that someone would spend that much on a watch. To me, it's the kind of watch I'll buy cause I'm bored and it looks cool, but to them it's pure luxury. Really gives you a little reality check.

It is all the watch 99% of people will ever need. Cheap and cheerful. I wore one as my daily in the 90s. It lasted almost a decade until the strap fell apart, never had to change the battery. Bought a second F-91W for $12 a few years ago and gave it to my son. He loves it and wears it often.

It is a masterpiece of industrial design.

Thanks for pointing that out . I still didn’t know what size his wrist was after watching his videos many years

Didn't expect such a luxury piece on this channel.

I’ve been collecting watches for years and never owned one of these. An hour after watching your video I went to my local supermarket and bought one for £11. Ive officially been influenced

I own this watch as well amongst many others more premium watches. I mean, the springbars on my Tudor costs more than this. I bought my F-91w in Phnom Penh (a genuine Casio store) in 2008 and it still works. Same battery. It's crazy. Also, I wore that specific watch to 5.500 meters height in Nepal and when I got dive certified in Thailand, so about 15-18 meters depth. Somehow, that watch just wanted to go explore and live to tell the story. I did however have to replace the strap about 10 years ago. I still take it out from time to it, its fund and cool and great for running.

I wore this watch for years without worrying and it was the best feeling I had ever had. I remember I had a luxury watch and I had an anxiety that I would scratch it or even drop it. That's why, this watch is beautiful and awesome!

I owned a couple of these in the military and I now own another. These are resilient beautiful watches. I have gifted these to every one of my nephews when they turned 6, great watches for them. I, like you, have several other nice watches and I rarely wear this one as it is small, but every now and then I grab it.

suddenly you realize that every watches you previously owned is now redundant after buying a f91w 😂😂😂 i personally call it " watch-collecting dysmorphia "

I’ve swam with “30 m Water Resist” Casios hundreds of time, never an issue. My favorite is the A168W, a bit larger than f91w, electroluminescense, and a metal bracelet.

@SinnerAndSaint

Another great review from what is quickly becoming my favorite KZread watch channel. I came on here to look up something productive but when I saw that you're terrific uploaded, I had to see and I was not disappointed.

It's a great piece. I remember looking through a Jafco catalog and spotting one for the first time. 40 years later, I got one.

This was one of the best videos/reviews yet.

That’s not a Casio catalogue, it’s an Argos catalogue (a UK catalogue retailer that certainly used to be the biggest watch retailer in Britain, don’t know nowadays though). In the old days you needed a 7 inch wrist to lift their catalogue! 😂

I realy apreciate you acknowledging that there is a whole world out there. I've seen so many people that just can't understand this even when you try to explain it to them. Very little money is a lot of money at the same time.

I have gone diving with an F91w, it worked well. I now have the metal version of this watch the A158w.

Great video, love your humility my man ❤

Brilliant review as usual. Thank you Please keep it up I really enjoy your channel and videos

Very cool. Just ordered my W-59 yesterday. Can't wait for that little guy. A little thicker case, better water resistance, bigger buttons.. W86 is another great one, with a good back light

This is top watch content on You Tube. God work Evan.

I have a pretty vast collection of watches but the F91 ended up on my wrist on most days, I don’t know how. This watch plays tricks on me in a weird and wonderful way

Bought my F-91W last week, and I have been loving it 😆it's a great watch 😃

Brilliant watch. I love this and the Duro. Cheers.

The alarm can wake me up when it’s time to go-go.

Took mine to military camp a few years back Went in the mud, walking/swimming up a river, did obstacle courses... Basically everything you could thing of that could harm the watch In the end its crystal was badly scratched but it survived (and I love it even more now because of those scratches)

Think this might be my favourite review of this fantastic watch 👍👍👍

The F-91w is utilitarian design brilliance.

I love wearing my F91W, almost as much as I like watching the expression on my Mr's face when she sees me walk up to my watch box wearing a hideously expensive watch and she asks me what watch you wearing this weekend and I go this one. She just looks at me like I'm a fucking maniac. Lol 😂

Yep. Love mine even though I don’t wear it much

That's because 30m of water resistance is a lot of water resistance. Watch Harrison Elmore's video where he talks about water resistance.

Finally. You are now a proper watch collector.

Nice touch with the tweezers

Yes....mine is running +10 seconds over a year.....just fantastic watches! Everybody deserves one.

It's a good watch, makes a great gift. My USAF pilot buddies love them

The ONLY watch I consider mandatory for each watch collector in the world. I own one an a few other iterations of this watch and I'm absolutely loving it! WR is absolutely underrated as well btw. I wore this watch during Spa and it went trough a lot of hot tubs and hot pools and it was just as unimpressed as I'm being of your 7" wrist.

Love this watch

I felt the same when I bought my F-105, which is basically just a slightly thicker F-91 with exposed lugs, a good back light and without the annoying space between day and date. And now you'll never unsee it.

I had this as a kid, and now my kids now have one each (sky blue for my daughter). We swap them around and share, and we’re planning to get the 50m water resistant model for our summer holidays and the pool and beach. It was also shown the catalog shot and looks unchanged! It’s called the w59 and I believe it has a better backlight (and 7 year battery life)

Get F-105W instead, basically same watch but better full dial backlight, night and day difference.

Looks great on your SEVEN INCH WRIST.

Yay, what a great review! The F105 and A168 both have a similar design but with a Super Illuminator backlight that is leagues better than the F91W. You should check out the SKX MOD metal cases/sapphire crystals that fit the F91W/F105/A168, or even the Casio LCW-M100 which has a sapphire crystal, titanium case and bracelet, 50 meters of WR, dual time zone, atomic and tough solar for under $200(!).

When one of my kids asks for a watch they get one of these (or one of the variants). It's cool that it fits a six-year-old and they can wear it for the rest of their life if they want. The functionality/simplicity is great for kids as well.

I thought the asymmetrical backlight on my Casio F91W was broken, until he showed the same issue on a new one. That's just how it is. Still a great watch.

I haven't even watched it yet, but if you disrespect the GOAT in anyway, I'm coming for you Buddy.

great kids watch but it’s small AF for anyone with in middle school. The g shock 5600 crushes this 🙌🏻

no doubt about, I love it.

I’ve a modest collection of ten more pricey watches ($100 to 1000). I boughts a f91 on a whim last fall for sports and knockabout. Perfect time and function. My impressions went up huge after it accidentally went thru a full wash/dry laundry cycle in February. No effect and dry as bone inside.

F91w ❤🔥🔥🔥

This is your terrific watch that beat all your collections.

I bought one and caved into the hype a few months ago, so no worries. It’s quite the cool watch and it matches the hype. I still don’t wear it more than my 5610, but I wear it a fair bit. Then again, I also impulsively bought a $1000 meteorite and titanium bulova lunar pilot 🤣 My impulsiveness usually works in my favor as a collector, we will see.

Don't have an F-91W but I have the bigger version of it. Absolutely freakin love it. It's my go to for a beater if im not wearing my smart watch.

Last year I took this on a (my only one) 12m dive. Survived it without any harm… :)

I bought a Ritche Canvas Quick Release Watch Band in black/blue trim that matches the Casio F-91W perfectly on Amazon for $19.99. It's the watch I wear most these days besides my modded Casio Royale. 😊

It's an outstanding watch, probably one of the best ever made. Never be ashamed of not being able to afford the fancy stuff. This is perfectly fine.

Bought them as first watches for my sons. Both were under six years of age at the time. It’s all the watch almost anyone needs. But the backlight is horrendous. And if you have old eyes it can be hard to read. Still a great watch which is why I have five different colors.

F-105 is a similar thing, slight step up with the EL backlight. Good pajama watch, because it's barely there

I use mine on an Erika's originals and it looks amazing.

The GOAT

If your “worried” about the swimming and bathing part. There is the W59 with 5 bar water resistance. Looks exactly the same and i wear it everyday, surfing, lap swimming (in a pool) and ocean swimming (in the ocean) Even bathing!

I also think the Casio MW-59-7B is right up there with this watch. They both just look amazing on everyone. As a sidenote, this watch actually has great water resistance. I have taken it for the past three years to the waterpark with my kids and I swim with it and it’s been perfect. At least that’s my experience.

I had this watch until my little nephew decided it was the perfect gift for himself last Christmas. I've been missing it ever since! 😅

Oh man, I am so getting you on this☝🏻😉. I went around living too long without this god tier piece 🤷🏼‍♂️. Yet I gave it to my nephew when he turned 11, so I didn’t enjoy it for long.

The a500w series is a substantial upgrade, with multiple time zone tracking, perpetual calendar, and countdown timer in addition to everything you get from the f91. It costs three times as much, but everyone deserves to splurge every now and again.

The definitive detox watch ! Plus, it happens to be much more durable and though that the "water resistant" mention would suggest. ❤

Harrison Elmore just tested this bad boy and it can handle at least double 30m. Swim with confidence. You can even dive with it.

I've got one and for some inexplicable reason I still take really good care of it. Still use gshocks as beaters. But this? This one deserves to stay nice.

Golly, I think you might really enjoy a Freestyle Shark. Similar case shape to the f91w, and similarly ultralight and ultra affordable, but featuring a great backlight and a second time zone. But more importantly, check out all those colors! You love colors! Plus, it has a cool history of being an authentically important tool watch for a whole subculture (surfers during the Rad Era) because of a pretty elegant technical innovation--buttons that you can push underwater without compromising the water resistance. Lemme know if you wanna borrow mine (it's hot pink and neon green).

This is why I love this channel. No pretentiousness here! I used to own one of these! I got made fun off so much in college for wearing this..

God tier as they say

Came in to bash but by the end, subscribe. Good job fancyboy!

I never liked wearing a watch until i started working for the post office as a mail carrier. I wanted a retro casio and got one of these from Walmart for 13 bucks. It's comfortable. It's perfect. It's simple. I love it. I feel naked if I'm not wearing it. Oh yeah, the backlight is ass. My only complaint

strange thing about this watch is that you're not actually allowed to hate it. even if you do hate it with every fiber of your being, you somehow lose "watch cred" if you say you hate this watch so you have to say you love it - at least in public. it's some sort of reverse snobbery juju.

Not a sports watch but a favorite of runners still.

If you have to choose one digital watch, will it be this f91w or the g shock (which ever)?

30M WR....pfffft. I do not take mine off for anything. It gets wet daily, shower and or swim etc. (it's 11 years and going strong) FYI, Putting it on a single pass NATO bumps it up to another level in terms of comfort. A 19mm grey NATO a chef's kiss.

My home from work ritual involves switching to slippers and an F105-can’t beat a resin Casio for comfort.

I wouldn't be too worried about the water resistance. I read in many places that folks swim with these and don't have any issue.

F-84W more under the radar, more subtle, more Japanese, more terrific

I’ve collected 40 Casios, but no F91W yet. I’ve its big brother- W217H though.

Can you review some Invicta pieces? I had no idea they could be so... Invicta. I have a feeling the satire would be absolute gold

I love this watch but on my 7 1/2 inch wrist it looks really really small

With a 7 inch wrist ur never gonna enjoy chewing on the surplus wristband whilst daydreaming in school like we did as kids in the 90s.....

I never got a F-91W as the World Time AE1200WH-1A (black resin) is the best cheap Casio for me. They’re like $20 on Amazon so just a few more dollars for some upgrades.
