My $40 Casio surviving everything from camping trips to getting dunked in a sink still feels like its own kind of masterpiece


And in a way, it is...


Iconic F-91W currently costs $16.88 at Amazon AND it now comes in colors: Clear, Pink, Blue, Gray, Green, Gold, White (and Black)


A158 (Obama) for the upgrade to steel, A168 for EL backlight.


Just go for solar radio sync G-Shock square and you're done. No batteries, no setting up, extremely rugged and imo it looks good as well. Since I got that one a few years ago I only wear mechanical watch for various "occasions" - pretty much like a jewellery.


Look at moneybags over here paying $30 for a watch. /s


One thing I like about Casio's, especially the cheap ones, is how unpretentious they are.


I went thru a couple of F91W and the bracelet kept breaking. I since got a A158WA-1. Check it out.


Done. Thank you!


All the F-91Ws I have gotten through Amazon have been fakes.


Remarkable. I've purchased at least five over the decades, all the real thing.


Used to have one of those. Survived daily swim practice and saunas for years.
