Reddit reviews CASIO F91W-1 Casual Sport Watch

Finally my time to shine.

If you are looking for a good-for-everything watch, you have a few options. If you are looking for an automaitc watch (no battery, purely mechanical) you really can't beat the SKX007. It has excellent durability, classic looks, and the lume (glow stuff on the dial) is excellent. There is no battery to die, although you may need to get it services in a decade (or get a new one). Leave it on the bracelet for a sporty everyday look that can go with a suit, to a wedding, or a funeral. Throw it on a NATO strap (how I wear my watch every day) for comfortable everyday wearing. Get different coloured straps for different things, and change it up. A new strap can make it look like a totally different watch.

If you want something that will do almost any occasion without a mechanical movement, basically any Citizen Eco-drive will do the job. I myself like the Citizen Nighthawk, although it might be because I'm a pilot. The slide rule on the outside is great for addition/division (how much to tip, how much tax, etc.) and it will tell a second time zone.

If you are looking to make a statement, there is nothing that tops the Seiko "Orange Monster". This thing is built like a tank, the utomatic movement is proven, and the lume is out of this world. It also comes as the "Black Monster" if you want to be a bit more subtle.

If you are looking for a dress watch, I would recommend the Orient "Union" as it has a durable, in-house movement and great looks.

If you are looking for something badass that will be great for nighttime, there is the Traser Code Blue. It is a very durable quartz watch designed for military operations. It has vials of tritium (hydrogen with two neutrons) and will glow without any exposure to light for at least a decade.

If you are looking for a digital watch, I would recommend either the Casio Mudman if you are looking for a large, indestructable watch (That is also allowed for space travel by NASA) or the Casio F91W which is much slimmer, but less durable.

Possibly one of the best deals in "stylish" watches is the Timex Weekender. The come in a million different colours, have an electric illumination, and are very stylish and durable.

My advice would be to get the SKX007 on the bracelet, and then grab a few NATO straps. I have had great customer service interactions with Clockwork Synergy. Their straps are of decent quality, and their service is second-to-none. If you have a little cash left over, grab the F91W for chores are hiking, or anywhere you may need a stopwatch and illuminated face (i.e. Flying).

The designs are based off these I believe:

With a 20 to get a cold one after work

Hehe, you need to define "best", because, in the absence of such, this is one the best budget watches: http://www.amazon.com/CASIO-F91W-1-Casual-Sport-Watch/dp/B00006I551

Many people here -- including myself -- would say that a Vostok Komandirskie, Vostok Amphibia, or Timex weekender are among the "best budget" watches. However, people unfamiliar with watches would think that we're high or trolling for suggesting these.

Edit: also, the general public would think that we're crazy for suggesting mechanical watches, too.

Edit 2: I'm not being condescending or snobby, but "watch enthusiasts" tend to be an odd bunch. While the general public would like watches that are practical and accurate, "watch enthusiasts" often don't. We generally prefer mechanical watches, often because of their history and artistry. We don't mind horribly inaccurate or high-maintenance watches, as it's often part of the charm.

Has he hinted at any particular style? I think the Weekender would be an excellent choice. Off the top of my head, here are some additional classic and well respected budget watches.

Timex Expedition Scout

Casio F91W or F108WH

Casio MDV106

G-Shock DW5600

Timex T49904

Five detonators.

Why not keep it simple? Don't wear it at the airport though.

Anyway, most people will say G-Shock because durable. Might want to look at Suunto if you want a couple of sports-related features.

/r/Watches has a buying guide for watches from $0-$250 here that you might find useful.

Some recommendations:

Seiko 5 Automatic SNK809 - $65

Seiko SKX009K1 Dive Watch - $180

Citizen Eco-Drive BM8180 - $124

Timex Expedition Field Chronograph - $48

Timex Weekender - $32

Casio G-Shock DW5600E - $41

Casio F91W - $11

Do you have any preference towards digital, quartz (battery powered), or automatic (mechanical)?

It's not good as a professional watch but does the job perfectly as a gym watch. It's digital, has a stop watch, is super cheap, and while not 100% water proof it will resist what bit of sweat you have.

http://www.amazon.com/CASIO-F91W-1-Casual-Sport-Watch/dp/B00006I551/

I like separating the two as I can keep this in my gym bag all the time and I'm not fussed if a bit of chalk or sweat gets on it.

I bought a cheap vintage casio off amazon for like 10 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I551/

If you're cool with a digital watch, the Casio F-91W is one of my favorites. It's only like $10 on Amazon and it's really thin. I wear it just about every day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006I551/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Nn0qxbGQ6RMDF

i picked this casio up for $11 a few weeks ago. simple, easy to use, waterproof.

edit: checked my actual order, and had purchased a slightly different casio.

Glad I never spent any nominal amount of money on watches. I'm perfectly contented with a nice Casio A158W or F91W-1, no need for me to go over that.

This may not be of much help, but if I were in a position where I had to wear scrubs I'd probably opt for something tough and technical that I need not worry about. A G-Shock DW5600 is 45 bucks and tough as nails and will probably do everything you need it to. If you chafe at the idea of something technical, perhaps a Citizen Eco Drive such as this one. They're extraordinarily accurate quartz watches and highly regarded in just about every aspect I can think of, you'd probably get great mileage out of something like this one. It's even got a nice blue dial.

edit: And if either of those feel too expensive to you, a Casio F-91W is ten bucks and notoriously (at least in the hands of terrorists) reliable.

I don't know what to tell ya bruv. https://www.amazon.com/CASIO-F91W-1-Casual-Sport-Watch/dp/B00006I551

A budget would be very helpful.

You could buy a handful of cheap aliexpress watches and rotate as needed, or do the same thing with Casio watches.

Depending on how slim your wrists are, you could consider a G-Shock (maybe something from the Baby-G range).

Strongly Mistaken.

I have another model that looks similar. It's been I think six or more years since I bought it. Tough as hell, only changed the bands once, and the original battery is still inside it.

Yup, I never leave the house without a watch on. I've been wearing this guy for just over a year now and it's a little beat up but I am so happy with it, has a stopwatch for time sensitive jobs and I beat the shit out it because it's less than 20$. But yes, I would never wear anything metal or bulky.

Bad choice. $5 watch ain’t gonna last you more than a few years. Splurge and get the $10 watch. It lasts decades (after replacing the battery 7ish years in).
