The Casio F-91W, is it perfect for you?

Hello my name is Mark Coffman, I am a watchmaker located in Texas and I have a passion for pocket knives, wristwatches, and every day carry items.
My goal in my KZbin channel is to show my audience interesting items, and make interesting videos that shed some light on what can be the best EDC items you can add to your every day carry.
I also on occasion will restore pocket knives and multi tools, and in many cases I do make videos on these restorations!
If you ever would like any watch repair work done or would like to discuss anything that I’ve shown on the channel in this video send me an email!

The greatest watch in the history of watches.

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

I originally dislike the F-91W because of that backlight alone. That changed when I decided to buy an F-91W (green line color) for my dad as a Christmas present. That is where I start my own real world test on the backlight, and I was wrong about the F-91W. The so-called poor backlight of the F-91W is not so bad, it's decent at best. I can still see what the time and date is in the dark. Right now I am wearing the F-91W (blue line color) and I felt happy wearing it.

[@adamzapple67]

I wear my F-91W 95% of the time. When I wear my other watches (usually on a night out) I'm ready to take them off when I get home but I feel naked without my Casio on my wrist. If it's not on, I feel something is missing. Silly as it sounds it's become part of me. In my humble opinion the Casio F91W is the greatest watch in the world.

[@codrupaun8070]

It offers very precise timekeeping, perpetual calendar, stopwatch, alarm, hourly chime, minimum 7 years battery life and a very ICONIC retro look. Everything for 13 EUR (price in Romania). Is it worth? - Hell, YEAH!!

[@tennbones]

It’s dorky, cheap, basic, and wonderful….and has the loudest alarm and chime of any GShock I own. I would wear it with a tux all day lol.

[@markcoffman494]

That’s the way to go! These are amazing watches!

[@The_Lunatic_Toad]

I have a casio w71 that was discovered whilst diving at the bottom of a river. No straps atached and still working in the year of 1991. I still have it. It still works!

[@roadgent7921]

W71 is a great watch. I have a DW270 same module more or less. 1990. 2 sec/month. 😊

[@watchcollector1968]

One of my favorites. I like the backlight on it, doesn't work very well but does keep it a little more retro. Nice video.

[@_MiMo_]

Had mine for 2 months now, great watch. Lightweight, thin, inexpensive, and I love the retro look. The backlight is adequate, but I do wish it was a tad brighter. Thanks Mark!

[@jaymartinson3236]

I think you could 100% wear this with a tuxedo. This watch can go with anything from super casual to super formal.

[@codrupaun8070]

Of course you could wear it with a tuxedo, but you really should not! This is a very sporty watch and it just does not fit with a dressy attitude. Otherwise, an iconic legend, which I also own and proudly wear, almost all the time.

[@ezhilek9833]

All time classic🔥

[@duffvader6731]

Wanted this or the W-59 and in the end I picked the W217H instead for the larger numbers and better backlight.

[@iDreamOfOkra]

I just bought one for myself as as soon as my 10 yo daughter saw it, she wanted to try it. So yeah, I ordered a second one for myself. 😅

[@mudasirhassan9893]

Best watch no one beat this I love this watch

[@markcoffman494]

For the price and quality I absolutely agree!

[@jeffj318]

Very nice video. Who needs a backlight? Not me.

[@grattof]

This was my first watch. My dad bought it to me when I was 8 years old. I still have it and it still works. I bought a second one a couple of years ago and I use it sometimes when I go to dangerous places. I love it. However, it's very small for my wrist.

[@ayandey137]

Your wrist size?

[@stevesinclair4159]

Happy Wednesday Mark, I used to have one a decades ago, it wore out after I wore it a lot at work and especially on army reserve duty & it took a lot of knocks so I did not replace it as it was not one of my out & out favorite Casios. I currently have 3 Casios, a Casio Men's Military 3HD MRW-210H-3AV Quartz Watch, a Casio Men's A178WA-1A Illuminator Stainless Steel Watch & a Casio Men's Vintage CA-53W-1CR Calculator Watch. All 3 are budget priced watches & I have owned several of the A178WA-1A Illuminator & the CA-53W-1CR Calculator Watch's in the past, usually they last 10 or more years before I replace them.

[@AgeofDoom]

I love it since my youth. I don't wear it though because it looks fake on my wrist. I need more than 42mm for it to look good on my wrist.

[@raymondng9107]

Amazing watch and great vid ❤

[@ztuzar163]

I would love if Casio came out with a MR-G version of the F-91W ! (with the same backlight!)

[@sci-fyguy7767]

Simple answer-YES.

[@antslim168]

F91w is the OG but the W800h negative is the GOAT

[@bishop6426]

Hi Mark: Nice review. I have several Casio watches…..including the AE1200 “Casio Royale,” which I think is a GREAT watch. The F-91 is an OK basic watch except that the backlight is an absolute deal breaker. It’s not that I need the light all that often….but when I DO need one……I want one that I can actually use to read the watch face by.

[@anton0529]

Thats interesting because i never had any kind of issue reading the time in the dark with its light. Even if its weak

[@rosmundsen]

I just received my F-91W today, from Amazon. I am surprised that on the back it says: MADE IN THAILAND.

[@dtuk22]

Casio f91 its up there with other designs icons that are forever in fashion. The Alpha Industries MA1 bomber jacket, Ray Ban Wayfarer. & blue jeans to mention a few. I like that aftermarket band. Where did you purchase it? please.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Awesome- drop by 3pm EST meet a few new friends

[@markcoffman494]

Wonderful! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@feardabeard7635]

#Classic #goat

[@arienuzankhabibpranata]

I think f105w with similar modul and el backlight is better than f91w.

[@alexemrey]

Where do you get the new strap for the pre owned one you found?

[@markcoffman494]

Found on eBay. Search Casio 18mm rubber strap. 👍

[@sabonge_eduardo]

Tem a versão F105w que tem a luz melhor que ele e o módulo basicamente é igual

[@CrayvenCarnage]

It's so strange to me to hear these called retro in their appearance. When I was kid those were considered very modern in their look. However I like them because they do seem locked in time. It's still seems to be made to same quality that nearly all pre-Y2K electronics were made in.

[@180ballybollock]

Talibian special

[@etow8034]

The Skmei 1412 blows it out of the water for 4x cheaper !

[@wallytuber]

Do not buy this watch. Yes it is famous. The light is so bad for todays standards. Buy one of the many many many casio alternatives with illuminator or electroluminescence. My favorite is the a700. Same design but its even thinner, and has a metal bracelet and the better light.

[@markcoffman494]

From a purist standpoint I think this watch fits the bill. Thank you for the constructive comment. But I partially disagreed.

[@nigga_nigga]

i hope you have a bad day

[@venukrithish007]

It's still the most affordable and honestly it's just an iconic movt. Everyone should own it at least once in their lifetime.

[@KaushikBala333]

Just to put into perspective the military don't wear metal watches because they are not more durable than resin watches

[@yashvintackoory2893]

Its currently sold at $20, while the casio royale is around $25. And yeah its not worth it at the moment. There are better casio options.
