I bought a watch like this in the early 80s, and since then I've bought many watches, but for some reason, I always return to this classic digital watch as my favorite piece to wear on my wrist. It's light and almost unnoticeable. It doesn't have that many thrills, it's barely water resistant, but it has the simple classic look the digital watches I remember from my childhood. Yes, you can buy a bulky G-Shock or whatever, but this watch is one of its kind. It will not stand out and blend in nicely with any attire, even business suits. Wear it and be proud!

I love this watch. It has all I need - time, date, alarm, and backlight. It's thin and lightweight. It's so cheap, I don't fret if it gets washed, dropped, scratched, or dropped in the deep fryer.

My only complaint is that the watchband is not that long, and even though I have average-sized man wrists, I have to use the last or next to last hole to wear it, which means there isn't a lot to tuck into the strap band. If you have big wrists, this probably won't fit you.

I bought this watch 10 years ago and I totally abuse it with use. It just will not die so I can justify getting a new one. Oh well, on to the eleventh year...

This watch remined me of my school days and its still a classic. The company that popularised digital watches. Casio makes some cool digital watches that are out of reach for many other watch manufacturers even today. Bought this as a gift for my nephews... Let the tradition continue.

It's an excellent little watch. It's light, waterproof enough for swimming, keeps accurate time, has a light to read the time it in the dark, and it's cheap enough that it's not a big deal if you lose it. It's also the watch listed in the Combat Status Review Tribunal transcripts of 18 Guantanamo detainees and given as a reason for their continued detention. (Wikipedia: "Casio F91W") It's a unique conversation piece, a political statement, and a practical purchase all rolled into one.

I have had this approximate model for years. It has a large digital readout, day/date, alarm, night light and a stopwatch. It is easy to read and use, is slim on my wrist (no fat divers' watches for me!), nice looking and inexpensive. In addition, it is non-allergenic to my apparently acid skin chemistry. No base metal finish to turn green and make sores on my skin. I love it.

the features on this watch are very minimal and not well laid out.
you can get a very similar looking watch with a LOT more useful features, the Casio W-71

not only that, but this watch is featured twice on Amazon; search 'F-91W' and the same watch comes up at $11.48 w/ free S.S. shipping. Even at that price, I suggest not getting it.

No month or year on display
No count-down timer
etc.

(see my other review on the other offering of this watch for more details)

Spend a little more and get the W-71-1V for $18.45.

This watch has everything I want and nothing I don't. I wanted a light, stopwatch, alarm, day and date displayed, water-resistance, small face, cheap price, easy to use, and reliable. I set it to US official time and checked it a month later, it was only 7 seconds fast. Casio has kept making this time-tested, user-friendly design for a long time, and I hope to be able to buy another one when this one breaks in 20 years.

The alarm only sounds for 20 seconds, which i slept through on the first test.

If Casio would make a more durable watch strap, I'd never need to buy another one. But I love this watch. The strap usually lasts about 2 years and then I throw away the watch and buy another just like it.

It's easy to program and I like the alarm and timer functions.
