Several months ago,I picked up the Casio A158wa-1jf for just under $20 dollars, and was pleasantly surprised at the stylish yet functional watch I’d received. Unfortunately, I lost it, so after perusing Amazon I decided to go for the classic F91W-1. It’s hard to get excited about a $15 dollar watch, but this watch delivers in too many ways not to get excited about it. First and foremost, it keeps good time and is easy to read. The watch is easy and intuitive to set (I just glanced at the manual), and the functions that it comes equipped with do their job well. My only complaint would be that the strap could use a little extra length. I have an 8 inch wrist, so a little extra real estate would be nice. The lume function also isn’t phenomenal, but it does the job on a dark night.
In terms of water resistance (something that was fairly important to me) this watch appears impervious to any normal person’s needs. Washing hands, showering, or getting caught in rain pose no issue to the watch. I’ve also jumped off of a 33 foot bridge while wearing this watch, which would expose it to all kinds of pressures and stresses it’s not designed to take. The watch was fine. No fog under the dial or any apparent damage. If you’re looking for a watch that is under $20, does its job well, and packs respectable water resistance, id recommend this watch.

Easily one of my favorite watches
I love watches and own several ranging from $500 to now my cheapest watch, the F91, which was about $15.Wearing this though, offers a certain minimalistic charm that all my others lack.It's light, low profile, and extremely accurate and ridiculously easy to operate. It is a bit smaller than I prefer my watches on my 7" wrist, but at the same time, that's what I like about it. Contradictory I know, but it's hard to explain until you strap it on for the first time. I haven't taken it off since I got it a few days ago, and don't plan to; I forget it's on sometimes.My only complaint if I was to have one, is the backlight, however, I love that it's green. Could it be brighter? Sure. But it gets the job done late at night when I want to check the time in bed.As for water resistance- everything I've read for the Q&As on this watch has Casio replying that this watch is only suitable for light splashes of water??It's rated for 30M....which is around 100ft...So I'm confused on that. Deepest pool I've ever been in is about 10-12 feet so I feel like this would suffice just fine for every day wear. I wore it in the shower and cupped it in water with the sprayer blasting it for an extended period of time and it's completely fine. Maybe it just can't withstand pressure? I don't know, but for sub 20 bucks, it has already exceeded my wildest expectations.I already want a couple more in different colors so I can play with different strap options.In conclusion, I completely understand why this watch has the following it does.It's as basic as an UGGed wearing girl sipping on a pumpkin latte, and I absolutely love it.CAS1o

I’ve never been a big fan of digital watches but this watch has converted me. I have a size 7.25 in wrist ,which is on the smaller side of average, and I this this watch looks good on me. I do like my watches on the smaller side. I use the watch for the gym and it’s extremely comfortable. The rubber wrist band doesn’t pull my arm hair and doesn’t absorb my sweat. It’s and extremely flexible rubber. The functions on this watch are extremely easy to use. The only negative aspect of the watch is the light. You can still read it easily in the dark but it lights up one half of the watch better than the other half. But for the price I’m really not complaining and I would totally recommend this watch to someone. I’m going to start collecting Casio watches now.
4 stars because it’s nearly perfect.
