CASIO AMERICA

I am a Casio devotee. The F91W is, in my considered opinion, the best utilitarian watch ever made. I am a wildland firefighter with the US Forest Service, and while those among us toil with a gargantuan Garmin or a power hungry Apple Watch, the ones who know buy an F91W; after years of no drama reliability the first thing to fail will be the band. I was thrilled to see Casio made a rudimentary smartwatch, disguised in one of their beautiful classic designs, and at such an irresistible price point, I had no option but to indulge. Fitness is paramount in my profession, and I had utilized an Apple Watch during our training seasons. Many things appealed to me about the Apple Watch, however I counted the days till I would return to my low profile F91W, that respected my privacy and needed no charging. The FB100W-1B: the app is simple enough, the watch is not perpetually paired to your device and you can train (run, hike, ect. ) without your phone, and connect the watch post workout. The steps/excretion data is very ballpark, it mistakes driving for some type of more aggressive activity, not unlike many smart watches. I’m still learning the devices capabilities, and I assume it doesn’t measure heart rate, and it’s only GPS is the one it utilizes on your phone: DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS. Thus far I wholeheartedly recommend the FB100W-1B; it lets you know if you’ve been too sedentary, by your own measure and in your own time. And it appears that, when Casio inevitably stops supporting the “smart watch” software, you still have a perfectly functional digital watch.

I'm sure you guys did your part, but USPS took longer than expected. AliExpress shipped the same day and arrived 2 days sooner. All is good, but thought I would mention it to you.

Great

Wears really well. Has a G Shock aesthetic to it. If it ends up breaking due to rough treatment, I’ll gladly buy another one.

Nice and easy purchase
