A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Eternal clock for all time. If a Swiss watch, Rolex, or other premium watch is an accessory, then this watch is a tool. They are not created for status, beauty or brutality. No. They are designed to tell the time, and they do it very well. They can be produced until the moment when the need for watches, in principle, disappears. They are almost impossible to kill. I saw a video where an almost identical F-105W watch (F-91W, instead of an electroluminescent LED backlight) was first filled with water, then frozen, then boiled, then thrown into the washer and they continued to work.

Interesting Facts:

There is a small u between the words WATER RESIST.

If three buttons are pressed at the same time, all the values ​​of the LCD display will light up.

By holding the right button for a few seconds, the word "CASIo" will light up.

Pros

- Bright electroluminescent backlight. -Retrofuturistic design. Like a DeLorean in the world of watches. These could have been worn by Marty McFly if the movie came out 10 years later. -Waterproof. The older brother of this watch (the legendary Casio F-91W, which is almost identical to them) differed many times in videos where they dived with it to great depths, after which they continued to work. Specifically, I took a shower with these, they work without problems, but I don’t advise you, since the water protection is designed for small splashes. -Weight. On the hand are not felt, almost weightless. The website says they weigh 20 grams. - Reliability and build quality. Many watches run for ten years, but after that either the battery runs out and people become too lazy to replace it, after which they buy new ones, or it happens that the eyelet for the strap on the case breaks off after active use. But the watch costs one and a half thousand, I don’t think that anyone feels sorry for them, so buying the same model will not be difficult. -Price. -Number of functions. The watch itself, perpetual calendar, split chronograph, alarm and hourly signal and the ability to display the time in 12-hour format.

Cons

-Strap. It literally turns to dust when worn. At the end of the day, it has to be shaken off. After a couple of years, the strap falls apart, since it was created for the 18 mm standard, so buying the same one from Ali or any other is not difficult. Of course, plastic cannot be compared with aluminum or stainless steel, so it happens that after + - 10 years of wearing, the eyelet breaks off, but this is not so common.
