CasioF91W-1 Casual Sport Watch

wow..very worth it to buy this watch, simply looking.

This is a great watch just like I had years ago. I haven't been wearing a watch for a long time but get tired of digging my phone out of my pocket or purse, especially when I'm out walking or shopping. I'm setting it up now and then going for a walk.The instructions are in extremely fine print and multiple languages. I scanned the English into my computer and enlarged it, saved as a PDF file and put on my phone in case I need to refer to them when I'm out and about. You may need a magnifying glass if you don't have that capability. I ordered it last evening and it came today already! Great job, Amazon!UPDATE: The alarm works well because it beeps and keeps beeping until you turn it off. However, the hourly chime is not so great. The chime is not as loud as the alarm and only goes "beep-beep" once. So if I'm not paying attention, the watch is under a sweater sleeve, or there's other background noise, I miss it. The whole purpose for me was to have an audible reminder every hour so I would get up and walk around, but I miss it more than I catch it.

I love watches and own several ranging from $500 to now my cheapest watch, the F91, which was about $15.Wearing this though, offers a certain minimalistic charm that all my others lack.It's light, low profile, and extremely accurate and ridiculously easy to operate. It is a bit smaller than I prefer my watches on my 7" wrist, but at the same time, that's what I like about it. Contradictory I know, but it's hard to explain until you strap it on for the first time. I haven't taken it off since I got it a few days ago, and don't plan to; I forget it's on sometimes.My only complaint if I was to have one, is the backlight, however, I love that it's green. Could it be brighter? Sure. But it gets the job done late at night when I want to check the time in bed.As for water resistance- everything I've read for the Q&As on this watch has Casio replying that this watch is only suitable for light splashes of water??It's rated for 30M....which is around 100ft...So I'm confused on that. Deepest pool I've ever been in is about 10-12 feet so I feel like this would suffice just fine for every day wear. I wore it in the shower and cupped it in water with the sprayer blasting it for an extended period of time and it's completely fine. Maybe it just can't withstand pressure? I don't know, but for sub 20 bucks, it has already exceeded my wildest expectations.I already want a couple more in different colors so I can play with different strap options.In conclusion, I completely understand why this watch has the following it does.It's as basic as an UGGed wearing girl sipping on a pumpkin latte, and I absolutely love it.CAS1o

My father used to have this watch when i was around 4 (i am now 19) and it broke down on him when I was 15 so he had a a long time with it. albeit he did need to change the battery ONCE.Well like father like son I now bought this watch and all I can say is it does its job! ill do some quick pros and cons for you people wondering wether its worth the purchase.Pros:-LOW PRICE. I bought it for 8 dollars. CHEAP!-functional. It does exactly what it advertises no false advertisement here.-Skinny. Its not any where NEAR as bulky as the popular G-Shock watches that many people here in L.A have been wearing I like that.-Adjustable. The strap can be adjusted for all wrist sizes .-Water resistant. You can pretty much go swimming with this thing and not worry about about anything happening to it. so long as you are above the recommended amount. and you don't need to worry about taking it odd when you wash your hands because it won't affect it either.-light button. has a left shoulder button to see the time at night.Cons:-light. Now i know i put this as a pro but at the same time its just a chepa little green glowing light you still see the whole screen but i'm sure that could have been EASILY adjusted.-Raised Resin screen. The screen is raised a little so be careful because you can scratch it.- Alarm. The only reason why I put this as a con is because I can't seem to put my watches' alrm clock to sound off ONLY in the mornings. It can get a little annoying when it rings at 6:30 a.m and p.mThats pretty much all i have to say for the cons prat of this review they aren't much to worry about they are just MINOR things. if you need a simple watch for walking around or for jogging or what have you this is PERFECT, because its cheap and totally functional. EXTREMELY pleased with my purchase

Only thing I dislike is the band. It doesn’t last very long, but it’s cheaper to buy a new one than replace the band
