Hey guys, here is my opinion. This is better than the F91W in just about every way, yes its more expensive but anyways. Do you agree or do you think the F91W is still the king? Thanks guys and have a good one.

I agree with you. This watch is SLIGHTLY larger, the backlight is very good and the cost is not enough to even consider. Basically better because of the light. I know the 91 is legendary but if you can get basically the same thing with a better backlight...why not?
@codrupaun8070 Жыл бұрын
I own them both. 105W - wonderful back light. Still, in my humble opinion, F91W remains The King - legends tend NOT to die. However, when evening comes and I want to go outside, wearing something light and minimalist, I will get the 105W, due to the back light. Rest of the day is dedicated to F91W. So...everybody's happy! 😂 PS: excellent review, also!!

F105 is a great budget watch, but I will go with the W217 as the alternative to the F91W because of its larger digits and 50m of water resistance. However the F91W is still the king to me, and I think that people are too harsh with its light. The little bulb is efficient in terms of power consumption, and if you use it in a dark environment after your eyes have ajusted to the conditions, is enough to see all the digits... I always sleep with my F91W, and the dim light allows me to check the time in the middle of the night without being awake by a big flash. Thanks for sharing, great video and review as usual

I have had several F91 and W-59 as beaters but only keep now one military green F91 and another full white W-59 in my collection with matching color NATO straps just because their special look. In my opinion such cheap pieces must have two characteristics: a good illumination (neither of them got it) and be at least 50 meters water resist so I ended up replacing them for that specific role with a B640. For example riding a motorbike you need a very plain or thin watch underneath the gloves and you can suddenly be suffering a heavy rain so a 50WR gives you peace on mind although I'm sure a F91 could resist it.

I want to share my opinion on the legendary Casio F91W, an iconic watch that has stood the test of time. The Casio F91W is a true classic that embodies simplicity and functionality. Its minimalist design, with a resin case and a stainless steel bracelet, makes it a light and comfortable watch for everyday wear. What makes this watch truly special is its exceptional durability. The F91W is renowned for its robustness and shock resistance. It can accompany you in all your adventures, whether during sports activities or in your everyday life. Despite its simple appearance, the Casio F91W offers practical features. It has a stopwatch, an alarm, a calendar and a backlight for better readability in the dark. These features add extra utility to this compact watch. In addition to its sturdiness and functionality, the Casio F91W is also very affordable. Its affordable price makes it an ideal watch for those looking for a reliable watch without breaking the bank. In conclusion, the Casio F91W watch is a real must-have for watch lovers. Its simplicity, durability and value for money make it a wise choice. I want to thank the KZfaq channel for highlighting this classic watch and for sharing our passion for Casio F91W watches. Congratulations on the good work done!"

Assuming that the illuminator backlight uses more battery than the crappy F91W LED, I'd rather the latter since the backlight is also used for watch functions (like toggling the daily ang hourly alarm). I'd rather the W59. It's pretty much a 50BAR F91W. But if you need a bright backlight, check out W86 too. Discontinued, unfortunately.

They're not for kiddies. These are millenial opinions - and that's fine. I'm a bit older though and these watch sizes were the norm back in the days (digital "sport watches" in the 70s and 80s) - in the 1990s, the typical size for a men’s watch was in the 37-39mm wide range. Only since the late 90s early 2000s watches increased post the 40mm diameter. In the end it comes down to personal taste of course - to me some of those men with their big watches sometimes look silly though.
