My brand spanking new Casio F-105. It is only less than a day, but I like it so far. 😘

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? πŸ˜…

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. 😝

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.

Great watch. I never take mine off.

This watch is so light and small I can wear them anytime.
