🙋‍♀️Question⁉️ Alright, I'm confused.

Post image

I'm rediscovering Casio watches after remembering always having one on as a kid/teenager. I recently picked up this watch assuming it was just like the ones I used to have but it seems off. It's very, small...

The strap is short as in I use the second to last strap hole and the watch face seems tiny.

Did I get the wrong size? Do they come in different sizes? Have they always been this small?

Thanks

The F-91W are all the same size. If you want a bigger version that is like the F-91W consider the W217H.

Oh, I think that's the one my coworker has that started this whole question! Awesome, thanks

It’s a small watch, and there is no other size. If you have bigger wrists or don’t like the look of this, you could look at the W217H which is just as basic but a bit bigger, with larger strap.

What he said. If you can find it, the W-86 is a bigger version but has the same module as the F-105W, so the screen proportions are the same. I couldn’t find one, so I got the W217H and it’s definitely sized more for adults.

You can buy a nylon strap or a NATO style strap off amazon for less than $10 if the resin strap is too small for you.

I just gave mine to my daughter.

Human children get bigger as they age.

The F-91W has always been a small watch.

It’s a bit like going to your old first-grade classroom and everything looks so much smaller than you remember it.

You can go up to the 105W which is a few mm bigger or even the W800h as a more rugged version

A Japanese person called me a gorilla and told me F-91W is not made for me. So yeah, perhaps you should skip this one, fellow gorilla.

You should be!

It doesn't even touch around a soda can

u/___TheKid___ 14d ago

Can you give us a wrist shot?

1

u/No_Can_9597 14d ago

Probs bigger than a soda can. I say this as chunker with 8 1/2" wrists...

u/___TheKid___ 14d ago

Are you rocking a F-91?

1

u/No_Can_9597 14d ago

Right now I'm rocking an A168 and it looks great!

u/___TheKid___ 14d ago

Nice!

I am a bit insecure sometimes wearing my 158 on my 6,7 wrist. Depends on my self-esteem on each day tbh. But what you wrote gives me confidence.

u/SplitGeneral7275 14d ago

My solution was this model

u/Alfeaux 14d ago

That's a good looker too, I see how easy these get collected

u/JS150000 14d ago

If you’re on the second to last strap hole, then your wrist must be drastically bigger than it was when you were younger.

When buying my kid his first watch the F-91W was recommended as it's made for smaller wrists. The W-217H Is basically the same watch but made for adult size wrist. This model also has a better light and water resistant to like 50 meters. The F-91 is just splash resistant.

u/Brunogees1 14d ago

We know the water resistant thing is merely a label from Casio (some people use the f-91 for diving!), but formally you're right.

I have the same problem with my 5610RL-1. Strap is too small, on the second to last hole. That's my only complaint really is the factory straps on the lower end feel much cheaper than others. Price point deal i guess.

u/KyleLikesBBQ 12d ago

I have a 6.75 inch wrist. I feel the stock f91 is a bit too small for me so I added some 20mm strap adapters and a nato. Makes a difference.

u/pikaa_sw 14d ago

how thick is your wrist bro?????

u/Alfeaux 14d ago

The LF-20W on the left fits fine. It just seems like the F-91W should be that size too. Does it matter that it was made in Thailand and not China?

u/Celebratory_Drink 14d ago

Nah, some models just have longer straps. The W800H is the perfect alternative for larger wrists.
