On Monday, I finally bit the bullet and used a £15 Amazon gift card (I got for Christmas from a colleague at work) to buy one. I looked at a whole load of different ones but I eventually settled on the Casio F-91W. A nice, small, simple digital watch that tells the time. </p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>My watch arrived on Thursday and I got it setup in less than 10 minutes and fell in love at first site. It was really rather simple. Below is a picture I took of my watch once I had it all setup (slightly edited to remove my arm/wrist from the picture as I am quite a private person alien). </p> </blockquote> <p>It's nice that the F-91W hasn't changed, and that people still blog about buying one. I did so <a href="https://samwilson.id.au/The_F-91W" title="The F-91W">in 2007</a>. </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r6049">.mw-parser-output .mdl-post-syndications{margin:3em 0;font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output .mdl-post-prevnext{border-top:thin solid #aaa;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;clear:both}</style><div class="mdl-post-syndications"> </div><div class="mdl-post-prevnext"><a href="https://samwilson.id.au/48_High_Street" title="48 High Street">← Previous</a><a href="https://samwilson.id.au/SimpleText_moved_to_Gerrit" title="SimpleText moved to Gerrit">Next →</a></div><div style="background-color: #efefef; font-size:smaller; padding: 0.1em 1em; margin:3em 0 0 0; border-top:thin solid #aaa; clear:both"> <p><span class="plainlinks"><span style="border-bottom:2px solid #E05B36"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://files.samwilson.id.au/thumb/7/74/Feed-icon.svg.png/20px-Feed-icon.svg.png" decoding="async" width="16" height="16" class="mw-file-element" srcset="https://files.samwilson.id.au/thumb/7/74/Feed-icon.svg.png/40px-Feed-icon.svg.png 1.5x" data-file-width="128" data-file-height="128" /></a></span> My main RSS news feed: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss">https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss</a></span><br />(or <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://samwilson.id.au/Wikimedia.rss">Wikimedia.rss</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://samwilson.id.au/Fremantle.rss">Fremantle.rss</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://samwilson.id.au/OpenStreetMap.rss">OpenStreetMap.rss</a>, etc. for topic feeds).</span><br /> Email me at <code>sam <span typeof="mw:File"><a href="https://samwilson.id.au/File:@_symbol.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/%40_symbol.svg/20px-%40_symbol.svg.png" decoding="async" width="11" height="11" class="mw-file-element" srcset="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/%40_symbol.svg/40px-%40_symbol.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="300" /></a></span> samwilson.id.au</code> or leave a comment below… </p> </div></div> Sat, 31 May 2025 17:51:00 GMT Sam Wilson https://samwilson.id.au/The_F-91W https://samwilson.id.au/The_F-91W <div class="mw-content-ltr mw-parser-output" lang="en-GB" dir="ltr"><p class="tpl-post" style="font-size:smaller; text-align:right"><strong><span title="Location"><i>Canberra</i></span><br /><time datetime="2007-06-29T15:44:33+00:00"><a href="https://samwilson.id.au/2007" title="2007">2007</a> June 29 (Friday), 11:44PM</time></strong><br />&#183;&#160;<a href="/index.php?title=Casio&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Casio (page does not exist)">Casio</a>&#160;&#183;&#160;<a href="/index.php?title=Watches&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Watches (page does not exist)">watches</a>&#160;&#183;&#160;<a href="/index.php?title=IBM&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="IBM (page does not exist)">IBM</a>&#160;&#183;</p> <p>I bought this watch for when I start working at IBM, because it is such an archetype of <i>The Digital Watch</i>, and I like to be reminded of the Future. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="https://samwilson.id.au/File:2007_2007-06-29_Casio_F-91W.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="https://files.samwilson.id.au/3/3d/2007_2007-06-29_Casio_F-91W.jpg" decoding="async" width="190" height="229" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="190" data-file-height="229" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>Some pointless facts about the F-91W: </p> <ul><li>Water Resistant;</li> <li>Micro Light;</li> <li>Daily Alarm;</li> <li>1/100 second digital stopwatch: Measuring capacity: 59:59.99; Measuring modes: Net time, split time, 1st-2nd place times;</li> <li>Hourly Time Signal;</li> <li>Auto Calendar;</li> <li>Accuracy: ±30 seconds per month;</li> <li>Battery CR2016;</li> <li>Approx. battery life: 7 years;</li> <li>Module 593;</li> <li>Size of case: 37.5 x 33.5 x 9.5mm;</li> <li>Total weight: 20g.</li></ul> <p><br /> </p></div> Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:44:33 GMT Sam Wilson
