I love the look of this watch, it is thinner and smaller than the usual Casio/digital watches. It wears well on my wrist and it is so light I forget it’s there. The band is not ideal for me but it is not a deal breaker.
I recently stopped wearing my Apple Watch after 9 years, as the notifications and “always on” social mentality has gotten too far, and it became very distracting for me, so I wanted to go back to a simpler watch. This watch brings back a lot of memories of wearing digital watches as a kid, and it is so fun relearning how to set things up. I’m a visual learner so I found instructions for setup on YouTube, and it was very easy after watching the video just once.
The watch has versatile functions, it tells time, has 5 alarms setups, 4 world clock setups, stopwatch, and backlight. It is more than I need in a watch just to tell time. I love it! 10/10 would recommend!

Not bad as a watch,no mineral glass,but plastic instead, alot of features, shipping was very fast,and I remember having a watch like this in the 90s so retro,and also very light on your wrist,and alot smaller than I expected, making this good for men and women, it’s hard to believe Casio came out with this about 30yrs later

Se ve bastante bien, de dimensiones contenidas, con las funciones básicas a las que ya estamos acostumbrados de Casio , un reloj casual con herencia retro de los 80 tas

LCD watches are neat. Watches with hands are neat. A watch that is both is therefore the perfect watch, and Casio figured that out in the mid 80s. Then they discontinued the watch, and now it’s back.
Almost. It’s not exactly the same. New version of the watch is smarter about time zones and DST, but it lacks the Display Mode where the watch would put on a little show. And I wish I could make the LCD digits at the bottom display something other than the current time (that’s what the hands are for).
All the same, I am very glad to have this watch back. It’s got the hands I was missing.
Did you know that you can use an analog watch as a compass? Point the hour hand at the sun; South will be halfway between the hour hand and the “12” (or “1” during DST). It’s only an approximate measurement but it’ll be within a few degrees. You can probably improve on the accuracy by knowing exactly when during the day the sun is at its peak; like, at my longitude, solar noon is about 12:15, so I do halfway between the hour hand and a little past the “12”.

Vraiment satisfait du produit presque identique à celle des années 80-90

Let’s start with the pros. Very nice watch with the twin graph display just like it’s predecessor. Very light and comfortable on the wrist and the illumination is nice and bright enough to see in pitch black darkness. Has all the nice features I love(World time, timer, alarm, stopwatch). My only con at the moment is that I was expecting this watch to be a fully white or fully creamy white color but it is not. The band is almost like a white with a tint of green or blue. If you look at the watch case and the watch straps closely, you will notice this discrepancy in color. It’s definitely not a deal breaker in my eyes but just something that I found odd and didn’t like too much. Also the digital-analogy face can be sometimes tricky to tell time because the thin Hour hand and Minute hand can blend in with the markings on the watch, just requires a few more seconds of looking to see what is what which isn’t terrible. Also it wears just the same as the F91 in terms of size, can be a pro or con depending on how you like your watch sizing. All in all, I’d recommend this watch to anyone.

I bought this because I owned a “liquid crystal analog” watch back in the early ‘80s, when they first came out, and the Casio website, while a little cheaper, was sold out at the time.
It’s a unisex model, looks fine on any gender. It’s a bit small, smaller than most LCD watches from Casio, but that’s not a bad thing – you’d never confuse it for a G-Shock and it’s so light you might forget you’re wearing it. The strap is longer than one would expect from a small watch, so people with thick wrists will likely be fine with the factory-issued band – which is nice because the resin used to make it is “bio-based,” meaning no synthetics or petroleum products. It has all the basic features one would expect from a modern digital watch from Casio: local and world time, timer and stopwatch, 5 alarms and an hourly chime feature. The face is backlit and the LED it uses is bright enough to make it easy to read in total darkness.
The closest thing I have to a complaint about it is that it’s rated as merely “water resistant” or WR. Per Casio’s definition, it’s fine for rain or splash resistance, but shouldn’t be submerged in water at any depth – not even sink-deep. I would have been happier if it was rated at least one step up, which is WR 50M (a.k.a. WR 5ATM), making it suitable for pool-depth swimming but nothing deeper.
Footnote: 50M or 5ATM is 50 meters (54.68 yds.), but WR 50M is measured at static pressure, meaning the watch is immobile while tested in a tank that simulates that depth. Movement underwater ON THE WEARER’s wrist increases the force on the watertight seals, so a WR 50M/5ATM watch is not considered suitable for more than leisure swimming in fairly shallow depths, as opposed to open-water snorkeling, free diving or SCUBA diving. Most divers wouldn’t use anything less than WR 300M/30ATM.

I love wearing this little watch. The lighter color is perfect and very unique. It packs a punch with all of its features as well and has a very easy to read dial. Would make a perfect gift for someone who wants a unique timepiece.

I’ve had my watch for about 4 months now & I love it. I like the retro style of it, the quirkiness and it feels comfortable to wear. I have really ‘skinny’ wrists and the watch fits fine. The instructions aren’t the easiest to follow, but there are lots of how-to videos out there. It tells the time & shows the date which is all I want from a watch. I much prefer this over a well known old branded smart watch that my sister gave me. I highly recommend, very good quality & great looking watch, suitable for all.

Lo compre porque mi reloj anterior se rompió y apesar de no tener un diseño “deportivo” como el previo, me gusta que sea muy practico y sencillo.
Vale la pena por el precio y la calidad no tiene queja alguna.
La luz es en color naranja y la pantalla está completamente iluminada al utilizarla.
Quizás el único “contra” sería qué el color de la correa es fácil de opacar con la ropa o con alguna mancha de tinta, pero bueno es funcional y estetico.
