Time for Less – A Review of the Casio F91W-1 Classic Wrist Watch.

I rarely write reviews and it is only when I find a quality product that I do. This is a review for the Casio F91W-1 watch - an ideal watch for those simply looking to keep time, but are also looking for a durable watch. I purchased this watch nearly 6 months ago from Amazon for $11. I was ideally looking for a digital watch that I could wear round the clock without worrying about water getting into it, or it being scratched. I found what I was looking for. The watch's scratch proof plastic was put to test during these months of rough use in an environment that requires moving around large objects, and dealing with sharp edges and doors. I also wear it when I'm sleeping so I don't have to fumble for my cellphone for time if I wake up in the wee hours of the night. Its also got a very useful yellow-green LED light that lets you see time in the dark. While this little light isn't the brightest or the best, it does its job well of letting you keep time. I've read that this watch used to sport a regular bulb until a few years ago when it was replaced with an LED. Might save battery. But who cares, since its said that people have hardly had to replace the battery on theirs. According to reviews on Amazon, there are some who've used the watch for 10+ years not having to bother about batteries. To summarise, this watch is a simple digital time keeper with extreme durability, reliability, and a battery that you'll never have to worry about. For those looking for a better looking glow light in their watch, Casio also has a Illuminator - F105W - 1A. This is a slightly modified version of the classic F91W-1. My friend bought this a couple of days after I bought my Classic. Apparently, he was looking for something simple too. He keeps making fun of my rather boring LED and tries to show off his blue illuminator. I have to admit that it does look cool while still retaining its classic casio look.
