Why should I buy the three times more expensive watch to use the parts in the F-91W? :) It is way cooler to change the LED in the F-91W itself, not only changeing the units...

The new module has been taken from a donor watch which has the crystal damaged. Off course it makes no sense to buy a new watch only for the unit…

Nice review. Always exciting to await the return of an iconic watch company. Many questions , will it come in precious metals.? What sizes ? In house movements ? What price range ? What fun to speculate.
@steveoclock746312 күн бұрын
Thank you for your comment, I hope they will keep the original shape and size, and also the movement with the micro rotor winding mechanism. For me the big question is the price positioning for this kind of watch in 2025… and I am afraid it won’t be so affordable. And yes to speculate is always fun!!

I just bought a backlight spreader off Etsy. I was skeptical. It was about a tenner. It has completely changed the watch! I am not advertising them. There are ways around the backlight. You have to p1ss and fiddle around to get them going though. Depends how much you want a solution.

A unique solution! You just need to find a broken watch with good backlighting and take out the working mechanism from it, and then the magic happens!

Good Review. I think my wrist broke in the strap, or I just got used to it - I never think about the strap, but their are softer replacements from Casio and bracelets, as well as adapters from 3rd parties to add Nato and other straps. Great watch, I like the positive display better, but yours looks great.
@steveoclock74633 ай бұрын
Thank you for your advice. After wearing this watch for a couple of months, I still believe this model deserves a better and more comfortable strap. As for the display, I agree-the positive display is much easier to read, but the negative one is truly stunning.

Thank you for you comment! Well, yes it's a way of seeing it without considering it a flaw... In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense that they used an LED, which is quite powerful by the way, only on the left side. They could have found a better way to evenly illuminate the screen while maintaining the 'retro' look. Or maybe is the only way to keep the total cost of production down. Who knows...

I totally agree, especially when the leather strap included is low quality. They should at least offer the possibility to buy it separately.

I also prefer smaller-sized watches, and for this reason, I had to do some testing to convince myself. Initially, I bought the GMD-S5600-7ER model, which is slightly smaller, but in the end, I opted for the GW-M5610U-1BER. The difference in size is imperceptible, but it has several additional functions. I recommend trying it out in a store and deciding afterward.
