[@kracked7637]

the display looks awesome on this one. but that's already big for my taste, what I appreciate about the f-91w is actually how small and thin it is, perfect for small wrists and so comfortable to wear

[@The134735]

If you dig the size of the F-91W but want a better light, go with the F105W-1A since it has EL illumination and not just "illuminator" (which means the LED light covers enough of the display for full readability). You can get one at pretty much any Wal-Mart for about $20 USD. I've heard the ones made in Thailand keep better time than the ones made in China, but not entirely sure about that.

@@The134735 I am looking for a dual time digital watch that is comparable to F91W in size. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

[@NormanF62]

I like my watch around 40 mm - the modern size. In the w217, Casio took everything the fw91 was and made it better - beefier size, more legible digits and incorporated its illuminator technology to create a backlight that worked. They didn’t mess around with anything and that’s the point of the new model. A classic on steroids.

[@rickyporter6450]

I agree, I bought the 217 but I don't wear it. My wrists are small too. G-Shocks look ridiculous on me. I hate it because some of the G-Shocks look pretty good. I'll stick with the 92, 105 and 158

[@computerlab266]

I am not a diver, a pilot, an astronaut, an athlete, a racecar driver, a frequent international traveler, or a dapper man about town. I am a working father of two, and I am always on the go. The Casio W217H tells perfect time, has an alarm function, a timer, a stopwatch, 24 hr. time, 50M water resistant, and it can light up in the dark. It has become the perfect watch for me at this time. My mechanical watch collection has essentially gone dormant, for now.

[@veetour]

I'll stick with the F91W until I can save up for the W217H.

I may go for the 217 if my CA-53W craps out. Hoping that doesn't happen, though. Of course, I may just buy one regardless. No backlight on the 53W is a big downside...

[@pericodelospalotes5738]

I have a W-800 too but among all my Casios my favourite is the W-96H, rated to 50 meters instead 100 but more than enough.

[@SuperShecky]

The W-800 specs beat the W217H in every way. Including lower street price, it seems. But if you want the look of an oversized F91, the W217 is the way to go. Thought about buying a W217, but for me, the strength of the F91 is its smaller size.

[@laurenceharrison661]

[@dooleyfussle8634]

I have an AO 47, the analogue one, that I bought in the 1980's. Still ticking (er, humming?) away. It's my edc, I converted it to a 'biner watch which I wear on a belt loop along with a flashlight and a knife. Been through about 6 batteries, the last time I changed it the jeweler said the watch is still available.

[@noroy2]

I live in the US and every time that we go to walmart, always go the watch aisle to pick up "just one more watch". I haven't found the F91W but pretty sure that will get one. Thank you Brother to revive my love for Casio watches, these are the best cost benefit watches.

[@MF-uf2qf]

I have one of this since i live in UK (8 years) the best watch ever! Alarm, hours, day and week days all in the same screen! Fu**in green light too! You use it you feel like a real man at the same time! Thats the watch used by fishermans, mechanics, toolmakers, a true beast with no competitor!

[@iansmith3593]

This seems perfect: Bigger than the tiny F91w, but not as bulky as the GShocks. Also, the font size is great for aging folks like me.

[@hedydd2]

18mm wide NATO type straps look great on this and the W800H. Very easy to swap, especially if you buy the Bisonstrap brand that comes with a removal and re-install tool and four spare pins, just in case one or more flies off onto your sawdust floor.

[@perpetualcheck9634]

I like the Casio w202 (even if it is a lady’s watch technically) for this type of basic Casio digital. It’s basically a dw5600e module in a regular size watch. It even has current time display in stopwatch/timer modes and flash alert. The longer strap helps too, since I’ve got too fat to wear the f91/w59 comfortably now :( But the glass does scratch really easily.

I love your reviews on watches, I can feel your passion talking about them. The F-91W was the first casio my father bought me, because I was just a kid and it was the perfect size for my wrist so buying this W217H is a must!!

[@matthewclina4162]

Thanks for another great video. Count me among the fans of the W-800H-1AV. I got mine about a year ago, when they were actually cheaper than the F-91w, around $8 I believe. I love it, because I often forget what year it is. I’ve got almost a full watch box of Casios, total value of around $67 😁

[@yambo59]

I also have the W800H and love it, as well as the W217H in both stock color and gold and also the W218H that looks like a mini Gshock, great watch, love those larger digits on the 217H and useable backlight-!! I like to tell folks who spent $$$$$ on snob watches mine cost almost nothing, needs no winding just a once in a great while battery change, also if it gets scratched I buff it out and if it gets damaged lost or stolen no big loss just buy another as theyre cheap - and the Casio is usually more accurate than even some very good mechanical movements can be.

My sons are taking me tubing this Sunday (Father's Day) on a local river and I went to Wally World today intent on buying a $45 G-Shock but when I saw this 217 with 5 bar WR, I thought it was great value for money and would be perfect for the river or a pool. I was pleasantly surprised when I tested the illumination and saw how excellent it is! I feel GREAT about the decision to buy this model now that I've watched your review!

Two days a go I ordered the blue. I've always wanted a bigger version of my little classic. I'm more excited about this one showing up than when the G Shocks are on route.

[@bidhrohi12]

I have the blue 217. It has a cooler toned grey LCD as opposed to the golden hue on the black and gold one. The light on the blue 217 makes the numerals glow while leaving the background dark. It's easily the best looking light I've seen on a casio. It looks like a glowing amber negative display.

What a coincidence, I just bought one of these on Monday. So far I love it! I've always loved the look of the f-91w, but I've got 8 inch wrists so they always were just way too tiny on me. But this one fits like a dream! I think Casio really nailed it on this one, now I can finally have the watch I've always wanted and it actually looks good on me.

I love these videos where you showcase some really affordable watches and especially Casio watches as I have a soft spot for them also. Really good stuff. I particularly loved the last video where you showed us how to mod the Casio Royale. I think it is also worth noting that the backlight on the has the blue ring around the face has a backlight that inverts the display and in some people's opinion makes it easier to read in the dark. I have to say that I agree with that too so maybe it is worth the extra few quid.

I’m partial to the steel band models. One I found on amazon that resembles the W217 is the B650WD-1ACF. Looks like the A168 but with the larger case and bigger digits, plus it’s an Illuminator. I already have an A168 but for $20, it’s not too much of an investment to get a second, subtly different one as well.

He's absolutely right. When you see the F-91W in the flesh for the first time, you will probably think it looks comically small.
