My brand spanking new Casio F-105. It is only less than a day, but I like it so far. π
Last time I wore a digital watch was decades ago.
Here's the electro-luminescent backlight. Can you tell I'm not used to take photo in the dark? π
That Casio is practically indestructible. Light, efficient; seriously one of my favorite watches of all time!
I was looking for an alternative for Casio F-91W and this model came up. Good thing I chose this too, because larger models will appear comical on my wrist.
electro-luminescent backlight
Ohhhhhhhh! I was really confused for a sec when I saw "EL BACKLIGHT" on one of the buttons. I thought it was just a really crummy translation into Spanish.
The manual warned that its frequent use will shorten the battery life, but I can't stop pressing it. π
Batteries are cheap and it only takes a small screwdriver⦠you'll get tired of the light before you kill the battery anyway.
Where do you buy watches like this these days?
You mean digital watches? I bought it from online marketplace.
Can't go wrong with a Casio
Yep: affordable, functional, good looking too!
Great watch. I never take mine off.
This watch is so light and small I can wear them anytime.
