A True Classic. The Patek Philippe of Digital Watches
This is probably the most practical watch one can own. Great job Casio!
I do not understand the current trend of “cookie on a strap” when it comes to watches. You really want an 8 ounce watch made from steel salvaged from a sunken ship? This watch confidently bucks that trend both in size but also in practical value. The F91 is for those with more brains than money.
If you take a look back in watch history when watches were made to tell time and not function as high fashion, watches were smaller. The common man sized watch was about 35mm wide. Guess how wide the F91 is, yup, about 35mm wide. Do you suppose there might have been a reason watches were smaller? Perhaps weight and comfort? Ever try wearing one of the “cookie on a strap” watches with a long sleeved shirt or with gloves? As Dr. Phil would say, “how’s that working out for you?”.
The F91 fits under shirts easily and doesn’t catch on the cuff. It’s so light you forget it’s on your wrist, unlike a Seiko monster I once owned that I could not wait to take off. After you have forgotten it’s on your wrist, no reason to baby it. It’s water resistant and will survive getting knocked around just fine.
Unlike our smart watches of today, battery life is measured in years, not hours. I can’t believe I didn’t get one sooner and I can’t believe people by watches that won’t run more than 18 - 24 hours without a power source to charge the battery. That’s not progress, that’s regress. Funny how with a enough marketing some believe black is really white and the moon is just the sun at night.
