Casio has released a minor update to its long-running F-91W digital watch line in the US. The new F-91WF series is available now on the company’s website for $45.95. The lineup includes three models, the F-91WF-1A, F-91WF-2A, and F-91WF-3A, which correspond to different color accents. The only functional change from the standard version is the inclusion of a cloth band made from recycled materials.
Design Details
Instead of the usual resin plastic strap that comes with most basic Casio watches, the F-91WF uses a band woven from recycled PET fibers. According to Casio, this cloth material is designed to resist scratches and stains.
From a practical standpoint, a cloth band usually offers a bit more breathability and flexibility than plastic, which can sometimes feel rigid or trap sweat during daily wear. The new band is adjustable and fits wrist sizes between 145 and 215 mm.
Beyond the strap, the hardware remains exactly what you would expect from this series. The watch is highly compact, measuring 38.2 x 35.2 x 8.5 mm, and weighs just 21 grams. The case, bezel, and the glass covering the digital display are all made of standard resin. It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle basic splashes or rain, but it isn’t rated for submersion or swimming.
Inside, the watch runs on a single CR2016 battery. Casio estimates the battery life at roughly seven years under normal use. The feature set is entirely basic: it tells the time in 12 or 24-hour formats, displays the day and date, and includes a green LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.
For utilities, the watch includes a 1/100-second stopwatch. It can track elapsed time, split times, and first- and second-place finishes. There is also a daily alarm, auto-calendar, and an optional hourly time signal. The timekeeping module has an accuracy rating of plus or minus 30 seconds per month.
In related news, Casio has recently launched a sleek limited-edition matcha green retro watch, along with new AQ-240E models featuring navy and glossy black retro styling.
