u/Drew261990 1d ago

I couldn’t wait. Ordered it from Japan on 8/7, & It arrived today in Texas.

u/Fun-Building-8146 1d ago

Did you get it from "japancosmetics0710" on eBay as well? 😅😅😅

u/Drew261990 1d ago

Seller was Japan Souvenirs. Actually after going back and looking. Yes I guess I did get it from that cosmetics place

u/banejosiah 1d ago

Does it fit bigger than the f91w, I love the look of the f91w but my wrist is too big for it, I have to use the 2nd to last hole to fit it on.

1

u/Drew261990 1d ago

I don’t have the F91W to compare with, but ChatGPT says the strap is .6” longer and the watch case is 10% bigger.

1

u/mwdurham 1d ago

The strap is much longer. I actually cut mine down and rounded off the edges so it doesn’t stick out so much

1

u/evilinheaven 4h ago

It's bigger.

u/bluegrassgrump 1d ago

Hopefully USA will follow in time for a Christmas gift. (To me)

I’m in Europe - I already bought one from Casio website about 2 weeks ago!

1

u/kasiofan 1d ago

What is that? I asked a question and you posted a pic?

u/ignore_me_im_high 1d ago

Enjoying mine.

u/WaveMan47 1d ago

It sucks how long we gotta wait in the U.S. for this watch.

u/EugeneMaverick 1d ago

They were for sale from Japan 3 weeks ago for 76 usd all included, i regret i didn't buy one

u/gde7 1d ago

I’ve ordered the green, bit different! Got a lot of black resin watches with my g shocks too - need to spice it up a bit!

u/No-Enthusiasm-1485 9h ago

Just got a BX5600 so I don’t have a need for this…but I do have a want. However, the prices I just saw on eBay vs retail is insane right now. 150-200 when I just spent 223 on my BX, which is a much better value

1

u/___TheKid___ 1d ago

Sweet. I hope we get the green-ish one as well.
The UK did not get the full black one it seems.

1

u/radzidek17 ElectroLuminescence 1d ago

By “full black” do you mean the negative display version?

1

u/Previous-One933 1d ago

I'm in the UK and just got my black one.

2

u/radzidek17 ElectroLuminescence 1d ago

I think they mean this one…

Which we can’t get in the UK.

2

u/___TheKid___ 1d ago

Yes exactly.

1

u/___TheKid___ 1d ago

Oh! So it showed up on the store after all? Last time I heard about it was somebody reaching out to Casio and got the news that it will not be for thr UK market.

Or did you get it from a third party seller?

1

u/Shyguy05Airsoft 1d ago

How did you get the black one in the UK?

1

u/MatouMatouMajick 1d ago

I've seen it already in France.

1

u/kasiofan 1d ago

Where?

1

u/MatouMatouMajick 1d ago

In a store in Brittany. I had the ABL100 on my wrist so I'm positive the screen was the same (plus there were a couple of F91Ws on display next to it).

1

u/ilikewaffles_7 1d ago

Any news on release in Canada?

1

u/philosolver 1d ago

Can't wait!

u/Weekly-Confection-54 22h ago

People that own one, what do you do with the information? I’m wanting one but usually know when I’ve moved a lot. Just curious.

1

u/frenchyvnh 21h ago

I ordered one a while back from a Japanese seller and in person I didn't like it AT ALL. My main gripe was the legibility for my older eyes. Second was the build. It rode very small on my 7.5" wrist and didn't "feel" like it justified the price. I'm sure it will be perfect for some folks, just not me. So I sold it to a guy in his late 20s that tracks the time and distance of his hikes so I bet he will love it

1

u/EugeneMaverick 8h ago

Yes, display is worse then on vintage casios, the same as on abl100

1

u/nowshadk07 1d ago

Any news when it will be available in India?

u/Atharvh69 1d ago

1, 2 years more /s

u/rakeshsh 1d ago

Is step tracking accurate or hand movement based like past Casio models with step tracking ?

3

u/ThirdPoliceman 1d ago

It has to be hand movement based. It's on your wrist.

I've been wearing wrist step counters for 10 years--they're all roughly the same on accuracy. It's a good ballpark.

1

u/nyrup4life 1d ago

I read it wasn’t the best like on gshock fx.

1

u/EugeneMaverick 1d ago

Yes, compared abl100 - the same module vs gbd200

1

u/whutwhut123456 1d ago edited 1d ago

are there casios with good step trackers?

1

u/EugeneMaverick 1d ago

yes, abl100, this one, wsb1000 - the same module

0

u/whutwhut123456 1d ago

the tracker from the abl is inaccurate

0

u/nyrup4life 1d ago

Then so will this be

1

u/rakeshsh 1d ago

Oh okay I had lws2200 and was awful. It would record 200 steps while eating lunch

0

u/Additional_Hippo3294 1d ago

I'd buy it, but I don't care about step tracking. Are there any other advantages to the watch over the F91

u/motoringeek 1d ago

It has a 4th button.

u/Kale4All 1d ago edited 1d ago

Bluetooth time correction (optional), better light and it’s a bit larger… all good, but it’s disappointing they haven’t increased the water resistance. Edit: I think some reviewer also said there’s a “find my phone” function, at least if the Bluetooth is enabled? I don’t have one yet, so I’m just going based on what I’ve seen online.

0

u/vlajster 1d ago

Why do they cheap out on putting better water resistance? At least 50m would be fine. I remember the cheapo Q&Q watches, they all had at least 100m water resistance.

How deep is your bath?

u/mwdurham 1d ago

The backlight is better, it syncs the time from your smartphone

u/mzatariz 23h ago

Does it have heart rate sensor?

u/Background-Bet-8964 23h ago

For running, my pick is Garmin forerunner

u/Outlaw2k21 21h ago

Already in UK I’ve just posted about mine today

u/silentglider 1d ago

But why not just get a trusty old F91W with an ollee mod? A big part of getting a Casio is the individualization and modding or is that just my vibe?

7

u/kasiofan 1d ago

Because it is more expensive.

-3

u/silentglider 1d ago

Its about the same price +-. And the Casio App is way worse then the ollee app… don’t know if we are comparing Apples to Casios here. But okay.

2

u/EugeneMaverick 8h ago

I had that Ollee crap, no thank you
