Product Description

A tried and true style Great for casual wear. With its large easy to read size, daily alarm, hourly time signal and auto calendar, you'll never need to worry about missing an appointment again. Black casual classic watch with a resin Band.

Casio

With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward.

Backstory: I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for the past 4 years, 24 hours a day. I recently decided that I wanted to unplug a bit, I got tired of my wrist blowing up from group texts, and having to charge the thing every single day.Research: I can say with confidence that I did more research on Casio watches than I’ve ever done on something I planned to spend $20 on. I watched TONS of YouTube videos, and I ended up buying this.I looked in to the f91w and I almost bought that. It’s classic, I loved the look but the one thing some people complained about was the small size. I looked at all of the photos in the reviews and it was always so hard to get perspective, because you never know who’s wearing the watch.I didn’t want some enormous G shock, and I didn’t want something that would look like a child’s watch. After receiving this, all I can say is that it looks like what I thought the f91w was going to look like from a size perspective.Search the f91w on Amazon and you’ll see that it’s a best seller in the womens watches category. All I can say is that if you are an adult male, I can’t imagine a world where this would be too big of a watch for you.I’m 6’0, 195lbs, but my wrists are 7 inches or a bit larger. Even my pictures are a bit deceiving, this watch looks and feels smaller in person than it does in any picture or video you’re going to find on it.Unless you really want a SMALL watch, this should fit any man and probably most women just fine. I can’t even imagine how small the f91w is on the wrist.About the watch: man this thing is just what I hoped it would be. It tells and keeps time great so far, you can see the screen from pretty much every conceivable angle, it’s paper light, and it it looks good.I watched a YouTube video that talked about the black and gold looking more like an adults watch rather than a toy. I love the retro look of the black and blue trim version, but I believe the reviewer was correct, and I’m glad I got this one. From any distance it’s pretty inconspicuous and looks almost like a smart watch. Up close it gives a classic retro vibe. It’s a $15 watch, but that’s the appeal. If it breaks in a year, I’ll throw it away and buy a new one without a single regret.Final note: The backlight on this is fantastic, which was another reason I bought it over a lot of the other similar Casios. The one on the f91w seems pretty terrible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic good quality watch at a very low price.
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2023
I've only had it for two days, but for an eighteen-dollar watch, I don't need more time to write a review.

It's a simplistic watch with very minimal features. It has very accurate timing (down to the second), a stopwatch, an alarm, the date, and nothing else. It's basic and it's great at it. For nighttime use, it also has a backlight that only turns on when you press and hold the bottom right button. Other than that, it's worth the money.

I highly recommend it if you're looking for a watch that tells time and nothing else. But for God's sake, when (and if) you purchase the watch, keep in mind it is less than twenty dollars! Don't expect much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent low cost watch
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2022
This particular Casio is a great everyday wear watch. I like the simple design and the dial and digits are fairly large and easy to read at a quick glance. The watch is also 50m water resistant which is more than enough for the typical person.

The case is plastic and backing is metal the band is resin. There are several versions of this watch and I went with the “gold trim line” because of it’s trim and font style and also because of it’s more unique bronze LCD color.

I also have the “dress” band version the B650W which has an interesting simple more dressy appearance. I included a photo of the two side by side for comparison.

I would recommend one of the black resin versions for regular wear “beater/abuse” wear because the black resin will hold up to wear and tear well. The B650W is great but much more of a casual wear watch and costs about $10 more than it’s black resin cousins and the case itself is metal colored resin.

I recommend both get yourself one of the black resin W-217 versions as an every day beater and get the B650W when you want a slightly more refined look but want something different from an A158/168 model Casio.

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2023
I bought a Casio F91W a year ago. It was very small and the band was short. It would run 5 minutes slow every month. Now I got this watch and it's so much better. It's normal size. It keeps perfect time. I like the gold colored face. It's just as easy to read. The light is brighter. The numbers are bigger. That's all I need Time, Day and Date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than what you would expect !
Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 2023
I work in the trades and was looking for something to use as my daily driver. Broke a 200$ fitbit at work and know multiple people who have broken apple watches. Since I only really wanted a watch for the time function this for sure does the trick at a fraction of the cost.

I was able to set up the watch in a matter of minutes without even looking at the manuel. It looks sharp and is lightweight. Honestly for the price I'd challenge someone to find a nicer watch. I cant speak on the longevity of the product but at this price I could get a handful of them before buying one fitbit.

Really good product and shipping was fast. You wont be dissapointed.
