Casio F-91WC Collection Men Watch

Product Information

A lot of people felt that the resin finish of the F 91W feels cheap. However, they didn’t want to see a change in the movement or functionality. However, some of you are still new to the watch-lover community and want to know what makes a watch better than others.

Whether as a first watch, or just as a cheap daily beater; there’s many reasons why this watch has legendary status. This is certainly no statement piece, but is it the best Casio Watch to buy? Overall, it’s truly a pleasure to wear for work and everyday tasks. Personally, I prefer the metallic Casio A158W variant, as I find it looks more stylish with my outfits and looks less like a ‘dad watch’.

The acrylic crystal has escaped damage so far, but I suspect the watch autopsy reports on this model would reveal the top failure modes to be: Casio uses a digital quartz movement that is known as both Module 593 or Casio 593. It’s a chronograph movement that is only seen in Casio F 91W these days. The chronograph can display 1/100-second digital stopwatch for up to one hour. The range of jewellery conventionally accepted for men was very limited. Cuff links perhaps or a wedding band -- and of course a timepiece, which was frequently a status symbol. The Collection F-91W is a quartz-driven wristwatch featuring a digital display. Though sometimes regarded with contempt by purists, quartz watches are extremely precise, to around 15 seconds per month. This far exceeds even the most luxurious mechanical models.

Are we seeing more wristwatch PCB swapping projects because more people are working on them, or because we saw one and they’re on our mind? The world may never know, but when it comes to design constraints, there’s a pretty fun challenge here both in fitting your electronic wizardry inside the confines of an injection molded case, and in the power budget to make your creation run on a sippy straw of battery power.
