Reliable, comfortable, daily use from now on.
maybe TMI, but I have hairy arms, and often find myself struggling to find watches that wont snag my hair while wearing it, and this is one of the first watches that I can say I haven't been nicked once. It is a very standard and basic digital watch, its sleek, durable, and does watch things lol. Reading it is easy, with both a clock and digital view, keeps date and daylight savings time, has a brightness button for viewing in the dark and is overall very good for someone who wants a reliable watch.

My first Casio watch, I love it!
I love this watch! It's my first Casio. I previously had a Fitbit that finally died on me after several years. I prefer this, I like that it doesn't connect to any devices. I use all the features daily: hourly alert, alarms, timer, stopwatch. If it matters to anyone you can also use the features simultaneously, e.g. the timer and the stopwatch (which use frequently). The different time zones are great for work or if you have family that lives in a different time zone.I bought a screen protector for it after reading someone else mention it scratches easily. I can't speak to whether that's true or not, but with the protector it still looks brand new a couple of months in. It's lightweight and on the smaller side. Perfect for me, a woman with smaller wrists. It's a STEAL at this price point. I will be repurchasing if it ever gives out on me in the future.

Cassette Futurism meets unbeatable practicality
Bought this for a trip to Cancun where I wanted to be able to immediately tell time in 24hrs and have something waterproof that wouldn't break my heart if I lost or broke it.I love it! So comfortable, the modes are so practical and the features are crazy. I love the alarm and timer. Seems rock solid, fits well on the wrist - not too small or big, looks retro but classy. I've gotten many compliments.Best $20 you can spend.

Died within a day
I'm sure it's a very functional watch with useful features, i purchased mine a few months ago but never got around to review it until now. Out the box it was very compact, not the greatest material. I saw that it had very nice and convenient features, unfortunately i was unable to utilize them because my watch completed died the next day when i got back from work. It looks good on the wrist and would make a great gift .

Great watch, easy to learn and setup
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!

Really cool throwback design
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.

Perfect Little Word Timer
If you're looking for a smaller and thinner Casio world timer, or if the F91W is the perfect size but you want something with more screen, less bezel, more features, and a much better backlight, look no further. It's also just as light on my wrist as the F91W. The quality control isn't the best according to some reviewers so your mileage may vary, but mine is fine. I think the crosshairs on the analog display do make it a little harder to tell the time on it but I don't intend to look at that display very often. It shows local time when you're cycling through time zones and although I appreciate that it has the world-time function and 4 quick-draw time zones, I don't see myself using those features very often. It has 5 alarms, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer too.
