I like “square G-SHOCK” more than any other watch.
However, it is not G-SHOCK that I introduce this time. “The most famous clock in the world” !
- Introduce the world’s most famous watch,”CASIO F-91W“
- In fact, it is a newer model than G-SHOCK
- This clock used in various video works and comparisons
- Once you put it on, it’s light and addictive
In fact, an evolution system released after “Square G-SHOCK”! ?
This is the CASIO F-91W
It becomes CASIO F-91W.
The list price is 2,200 Japanese yen. Actual sales are about 1,500 yen. It’s about $20 overseas.
The most famous clock in the world, it is used in various works (movies, animation, comics) and that has no shortage of topics and comparisons.
Actually younger than G-SHOCK
At first glance, it is easy to think the first G-SHOCK came out later, but in fact it is a junior of G-SHOCK.
The first G-SHOCK was launched in 1983. The F-91W was launched in 1989. In fact, since it is a model that came out after G-SHOCK. It is a watch that has more advanced parts than G-SHOCK.
It is unknown which model was actually developed. But Kikuo Ibe, the creator of G-SHOCK had”a time when he was planning a Casio standard watch” and maybe this model is also Kikuo Ibe may be involved.
Weight Amazing 21g!
The good thing about this watch is that it’s light, accurate and unbreakable .
The weight is a menacing 21g! There aren’t many watches that are lighter than this. When I put the F-91W on, I can clearly see that a metal watch weighing about 200g was heavy and gave me fatigue.
Yet, it is accurate enough to be off by only a few seconds per month.
Of course, it is also cheap. In recent years, it costs about 1,500 yen, but for a long time it was sold for less than 1,000 yen.
Wikipedia has even created a single page for the F-91W (here), and some critics say that “it is estimated that more than 100 million units have been sold. And it is already the infrastructure of mankind.”
You can see that the watch is loved by people all over the world.
Charakterristics
Since it is a Casio collection, it meets the main characteristics of Casio watches.
Of course, the basic functions of stopwatch, alarm and time signal are included.
It also has high performance and accuracy.
It’s a little hard to see, but it has a light, a monthly deviation of ±15 seconds and of course it’s waterproof for everyday use.
Recently, it seems . ( It doesn’t have heat resistance or shock resistance, but it ‘s thin and light so it doesn’t look like it will break even if dropped from 10m like a G-SHOCK.)
In addition, it is often used to attach and paste to bicycles and motorcycles.
There is no other watch that is “accurate, durable, and long-lasting” at this low price.
It’s lighter and thinner, so it’s easier and more comfortable to use than the G-SHOCK. Many people will like this one.
it’s recommended.
