Want to upgrade your F-91W? The open-source Sensor Watch is a board-swap that uses the same display, housing, and wrist-strap but lets you program your own functionality.

Rolex has spent the last 50 years trying to rebrand itself as a luxury watch brand but they started out as sport watches. Essentially what this Casio watch is.

The people that designed Rolex watches wanted them to be basically indestructible. They're wildly over-engineered. They have shockmounts so you can drop them without breaking the balance staff and most are waterproof.

I lost my Casio watch somewhere in my closet about 3 years ago (I am very lazy).

I still hear it beep every hour.

Get what works. Fuck all those dick measuring contests.

My wife is in the army. This is the watch that soldiers wear; it has every function you need, and absolutely none that you don't, and it's cheap as shit so you can afford it on your crappy military pay. It will not give a flying fuck what kind of abuse you put it through, and in a pinch it will probably stop a bullet.

I gave my wife a really nice watch made out of wood, with an aquamarine watchface, for her birthday.
She had wanted that watch for a long time before we even met, but couldn't afford it.
Now it's gathering dust on her nightstand cause she's afraid she's gonna forget to take it off before showering, so she's wearing my old f91w instead.

I love Casio watches; I’ve got about a hundred of them.

The F91W is most notable for being the cheapest, brand name watch you can buy just about anywhere. Even the poorest dirt farmer can afford to own one. And it has all of the features most people need.

That said, it’s not the best option for us westerners. They are very tiny watches, more suited to a child’s wrist than a grown man. A better option is a Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U. It’s solar powered with atomic timekeeping, meaning it never runs out of power and always has the correct time.

Plus, it’s way more durable compared to an F91W. If I could buy a watch for everyone on the planet, it’d be the 5610.

I have the calculator watch one and absolutely love it. The reaction people have when they notice is priceless.

We're still one of those planets that think digital watches are a neat idea.

I got this watch because it's the preferred watch of terrorists. I like how light it is but the strap did break after not taking it off for a year. I think the oils in my wrist broke it down.

Casio has a line of ladies watches with floral borders, I wear one as a man and get lots of compliments.

How did OP drop the watch if they never take that bad boy off?

They're like $20 bucks now but totally worth the extra cost.

Square Casios are immortal.

The amount of compliments I also got from the cheapest watch at a grocery store (also Casio)... I've seen listings for some really expensive ones with the same shape and general appearance but different colors and maybe features. Does anyone know what's up with those?

this post reminded me of my old Casio that I forgot on a plane as a kid. left it in those pockets under the tray on the seat in front of you :(

so I've gone ahead and ordered a pink one! :D

I couldn't find one in store so the misses bought me one off ebay. It was fake and broke in the ocean.

Watch out. Plenty of fakes of a cheap watch out there.

My favorite watch I've ever owned cost $7.

I have one, they're great.

i have a casio watch, but i cant wear it, because if i do i keep looking at time every few seconds
