Casio Classic Watch

owains · 18 Nov 2009 at 12:54

I'm on the look out for a cheap retro-styled digital watch. This Casio model has taken my fancy. Just wondering if anyone has anything to say on this watch? Can anyone recommend a similar watch as an alternative?

Cheers!

I bought the silver one recently.

Fairly good, do what they say on the tin

But buy online or at your local catalog/warehouse based shop, places like Urban Outfitters are flogging them at £35! They seem to be cool, again..

I've had this watch since about 1994 (released in 1991 says google) Changed the batteries 3 times - Not bad for a 15 year old watch

OP - Im with you on the watch front

I like it. - can you still get them from Casio, or would ebay be a better bet?

This purchase is a mistake.

Are they still £9.99 or has the current economic climate hit the cheap watch market too?

Edit: Wow £8.99!

The ultimate in geek-chic though

I say go all out and get the calculator one here, classic

They are great, indestructible too, plus more accurate and less maintenance than a £x,000 mechanical watch

Argos is your best bet I think, £8.99 for that one I believe

Heh! I realise that it's not quite everyone's "thing", but I rather like the retro styling

Thanks for the responses. Looks like the F-91W-1XY is the way to go!

I've had one of these since my 9th brithday. It's still on the same battery, though I don't wear it much nowadays. I'm 21.

It tells the time.
