Your brief point about fake Casios and how “just a few dollars” can be such a big deal for some people was honestly a sobering thought. Makes one thankful to be able to live so comfortably. I appreciate you’ve got that perspective. I won’t name names, but I feel many people in the watch community don’t.

Right, I recently gave someone a watch as a present, nothing real fancy (compared to my collection), but an ok-ish microbrand watch. During a conversation later with their significant other they were saying how nice it was and how expensive it must have been, my response was "no not really, I mean it's a nice watch and it looks much more expensive than it is, but it's only around $400." Well their jaws dropped, they were amazed and completely shocked that someone would spend that much on a watch. To me, it's the kind of watch I'll buy cause I'm bored and it looks cool, but to them it's pure luxury. Really gives you a little reality check.

You'd be surprised at how the concept of luxury exists in even the most comparatively deprived circumstances. In socialist societies that explicitly disavowed displayed material wealth, and in societies that literally haven't discovered the concept of stored value. There's something innate about the human desire to signal status.

It is all the watch 99% of people will ever need. Cheap and cheerful. I wore one as my daily in the 90s. It lasted almost a decade until the strap fell apart, never had to change the battery. Bought a second F-91W for $12 a few years ago and gave it to my son. He loves it and wears it often.

I'm not a watch enthusiast or anything. At the time, I needed a watch for work (construction) so I was looking for something inexpensive. I fell in love with this watch and I wear it almost all the time. I've used the stopwatch function at the gym a few times and have even used the alarm to wake me up for work a few times when my phone was down. Yes the light isn't great but it does the job. We live in a time where everything is so expensive that for me, I think this little casio watch is one of the few great bargins that can still be found. I paid $16 on amazon for mine.

I bought my F-91w in Phnom Penh (a genuine Casio store) in 2008 and it still works. Same battery. It's crazy. Also, I wore that specific watch to 5.500 meters height in Nepal and when I got dive certified in Thailand, so about 15-18 meters depth. Somehow, that watch just wanted to go explore and live to tell the story. I did however have to replace the strap about 10 years ago. I still take it out from time to it, its fund and cool and great for running.

Plus, it has a cool history of being an authentically important tool watch for a whole subculture (surfers during the Rad Era) because of a pretty elegant technical innovation--buttons that you can push underwater without compromising the water resistance.

2:39 'Designs G Shock watches which are tougher.' I don't believe they are, not in real world conditions at least. G Shock's entire marketing ploy is based on their toughness. It's their number 1 selling point so Casio are really going to hammer home the point but after owning a Casio F91w for years, I just don't know how anyone could damage one let alone destroy it. The beauty of the F91w is how slender it is. You just don't knock it or catch it on things like you do with a big, bulbous G Shock and the best protection ever is avoiding impact in the first place. But that said, I once dropped mine from an upper window. It landed on a concrete floor and nothing happened. It's so light the impact didn't affect it and the resin case is immensely strong. There are videos of people boiling, freezing and dropping F91ws and they survive and work perfectly. The only video I saw of an F91w being destroyed was by using a flame torch on it but he had to hold the flame over the watch for quite a while. The fact is, if you actually manage to destroy your F91w while wearing it, they'll also be scooping you into a coffin with a spoon because it's far tougher and far more indestructible than anyone wearing it. The thing is a friggin legend!
