Casio F-91WC Collection Men Watch

Product Information

The top left button is used to cycle through seconds, hours, minutes, month, date, day and normal mode. After getting used to the weight of mechanical watches, it is not easy to go back to something like the F-91W. It's also very comfortable when you type in a laptop, as the small size doesn't bother you and the whole strap is plastic / resin, so as there are no metallic parts there's no danger in causing any damage to the computer.

Casio pairs the final watch with a three-piece link stainless steel bracelet with a safety folding clasp. Japanese master metalworker Bihou Asano finishes both the bezel and the bracelet's middle links with a special "hammer-tone" pattern using the ancient "tsuiki" technique. The buttons are a bit confusing too - I had to read the manual originally and again this year to set the time.

A few months later, when my birthday came around at the end of a cold and rainy January, I unwrapped my very own F-91W. More than a dozen detainees were cited for owning cheap digital watches, particularly "the infamous Casio watch of the type used by Al Qaeda members for bomb detonators.
