Many readers are probably familiar with cheap digital display watches and analog display watches called “Chipkasi” (Cheap CASIO). Among them, I like the simple and thin model called F-91W, which has the most blunt image.
A yellow model of the legacy F-91W.Although it looks the same, it is elegant and women can use it without resistance.
I’ve been using the F-91W since the first model was on sale, but I’ve probably purchased nearly 10 of the models I’m using now. It’s an all black F-91W with a blue frameline. Even now, I still have three backup machines that I bought at Bic Camera in Yurakucho a few years ago.
The F-91W that I have been using since around 1990. The current model might be about the 10th generation…
Even if it’s bad, the F-91W feels more like toilet paper or tissue paper than a watch, and I can’t calm down unless I keep it in my drawer at home. That’s why I always have a backup in case it breaks or gets lost.

As many of you may know, in fact, this summer, as one of the capsule toys, a gacha featuring 5 representative models of Chipkashi as rings (rings) called “CASIO Watch Ring Collection” appeared. In fact, among them was the F-91W among other Chipkashi.
In any case, I definitely want only the “F-91W”. Rather than throwing 400 yen into a capsule toy vending machine and betting whether it will come out or not, I can get all five models at once on Mercari. I got it for a slightly higher price.

It’s not that I’m not interested in DBC-611, AE-1200WH, MQ-24, AQ-230GA, etc. other than F-91W, but I think F-91W is the strongest. After all, it is a representative model of Chipkashi that is loved by presidents, terrorists, executives of famous companies, and celebrities.
Of the 5 types of CASIO watch ring collection that I got in haste, naturally I took out the F-91W first. The F-91W from the CASIO Watch Ring Collection is wonderfully crafted, but the only omission is the shine of the plastic crystal that covers the dial. I quickly polished the plastic windshield of the watch until I was satisfied with polyWatch, which makes scratches invisible.
I was worried about the fine scratches on the appearance of the F-91W from the CASIO Watch Ring Collection, so I quickly polished it with polyWatch to make it shiny. I should have matched it with the F-91W. I’m glad I like the F-91W… I’m glad I have the CASIO watch ring collection
When I finally realized the collaboration wearing of F-91W and F-91W of the CASIO watch ring collection and was immersed in satisfaction, suddenly the silicon belt broke. I knew that the F-91W’s belt would break over time, but this timing was quite a shock.
It is a characteristic of the silicon belt of this type of watch that it suddenly breaks or breaks.
As I mentioned earlier, I always have three backup machines, so I honestly don’t have any problems with it, but I’m surprisingly attached to things that have been used for a long time and have some scratches on the chipkashi body. A completely new product makes me feel embarrassed and lonely. I decided to purchase an additional backup machine anyway, so I searched the net.
In addition to the black legacy model I know of crawling the net with the F-91W, I noticed that there are a lot of colorful companions these days. I happened to see a yellow F-91W advertised by a nearby shop called “Taiyo no Tokeiten” that was posting an ad on SNS, and I liked it and ordered it immediately.
I bought a yellow F-91W thinking that if I’m going to buy it anyway, I’ll buy something other than black once in a while.
The F91W, which was promptly sent to me with only the manual and tag without the box, was a reimport model of the CASIO STANDARD brand F-91WC-9A sold overseas. The appearance is the same as the F-91W-1JF, which I have in stock at my house. The letters and fonts on the surface of the watch were exactly the same.
No package, only instructions and tags. Chipkashi is better without packaging!
However, the blue frame line, red WR (Water Resist) mark, silver CASIO logo, gold F-91W logo, etc., which were the characteristics of the F-91W, have all been changed to white. It has been reborn as an elegant tipkashi that is very different from the image. If this is the case, even if the terrorist group makes a mistake, it will not be used as a detonator.
I immediately put it on my arm, and of course it didn’t feel out of place compared to the previous F-91W. The F-91W, which is almost entirely black in the original model, was a watch that was prone to stains due to dust (which is also good), but the yellow F-91W does not have that tendency at all, and it seems that women who want a clean image will not feel uncomfortable. .
Of course, the feeling of wearing is 100% the same as the conventional F-91W
In addition to the F-91WC-9A (yellow), there are 4 models in the lineup: blue, pink, and orange. Both are overseas models that are not sold by CASIO in Japan. This time, I bought a blue F-91W called F-91WS-2JH, which is a domestic genuine product sold in Japan following the yellow F-91W.
Another big advantage of the bright yellow F-91W is that it doesn’t attract dust.
The features of the blue F-91WS-2JH are the basic color pearl blue body and the well-balanced gray-blue color letters with the brand logo, model name, etc. It is organized in a relaxed atmosphere. And the belt is a blue translucent type.
The blue translucent type I bought after the yellow model because the F-91W silicon belt broke
Unfortunately, the time when the F-91W’s belt broke and the launch of the CASIO Watch Ring Collection coincided, and I ended up going where I shouldn’t have gone. However, it is fun to see that the F-91W, which appeared in 1989, has evolved from the original black model to a colorful model.
All three colors except for the F-91W (black) backup machine
However, the simple black original F-91W is flimsy and weighs only 21g, but the realistic atmosphere that only the real thing has will not be affected by the appearance of many color versions. These days, we also see replacement belts that cost more than the actual selling price of the main unit. The popularity of the F-91W is still undiminished. I’m going to increase my home backup tomorrow as soon as possible.
