![]() Thanks to its low price, it became a favorite subject of more or less drastic attempts, trying to find their limits. On the Internet, we can find a lot of videos where people drive them over with a car, pound them with a hammer, and even though they are only water resistent, people do not hesitate to dive with them. Casio F-91W became a symbol of availabiltyįrom what was mentioned earlier, you might think the watch is really fragile, but that is not true at all. Besides the case and the thin strap, plastic was also used for the "glass", if we can even call it a glass. I can't even think of another watch that only weights 21 grams. This "weight" is due to the smaller dimensions of the case (38 x 35 x 8.5 millimeters) and the fact that Casio was not affraid to use plastic. The experience of long-term owners usually speaks of endurance of ten years and more! In contrast to today's smartwatches, which last barely ten days, it is like an information from another planet. And that's the data from the manufacturer. Seven years! No, now I am not talking about the length of the warranty of an unnamed Korean carmaker, but about the endurance of the lithium battery.

In the currently sold version, the small light bulb was replaced by a green diode, but the light output remained roughly at the same level. They offered the accuracy of a quartz watch, a programmed calendar, an alarm clock, a stopwatch (even with a split time) and also Micro-light lighting. In the original design it had a yellow color and the intensity of a tired firefly. They were c heap, yet high quality, practical and they could handle a lot. ![]() "Ninety-ones" soon became a hit not only in the poor corners of the globe. ![]() For the price of a few hundred CZK, it also offers the opportunity to buy a watch for people in developing countries, for whom even such a thing is still a luxury. Casio F-91W has a different task than to impress with technical finesse. While we are currently enjoying the newly acquired freedom, nylon clothes and New Kids on the Block hits, Casio launches a new digital watch model.
