Does it fix the terrible backlight on the F-91W though..
They won me over at fixing the light.
Personally not at all interested in these new features - an F-91W that needs a smartphone to operate properly is madness to me - but I do appreciate the way they implemented them, with a focus on longevity and simplicity.
No vibration...what a missed opportunity! The reason that I got into smartwatches is the vibration wake-up alarm
I'm a huge fan of the Casio F-91W, have two of them on my desk right now. Maybe it's just me, but for this specific model I feel like it becoming bluetooth enabled breaks the spirit of the simplicity of the model.
But hey, seems like people are excited for that, happy for them! Mine will last another 10 years without it.
i don't want my casio to be smart. been rocking my mq-24 for a decade
doesn't mean others can't want a smart casio, but, it's not for me :D
this is the nokia of watches
This is the way. Gimmie the look I want with the data backend of the phone.
Can it show the date in the European format, like the GW-M5610U-1ER?
It's also a bump up in overall size. The OG F-91W wears very tiny on a larger wrist.
F-91W (old): 38.2 × 35.2 × 8.5 mm
F-B100W-1A (new): 41.9 × 38.1 × 8.8 mm
"... reimagined for le modern price and vendor-lock-in totale"
shame it doesn't have notifications, otherwise it would be perfect
so I guess I'm staying on my third Amazfit Bip since Pebble Time 2 has insane price
Great. Now, please re-release nokia 3310
C'mon Casio, add a pulse monitor to the F-91W form factor! I would much rather that than the chunky G-SHOCK bodies that have pulse monitors
NOPE! No wirelesso in my watch, and there's no way you're getting 2 years on CR2016 when we compare stuff like AirTags.
Oh, no no no thank you. Don't connect my watch to anything. Not to mention, I expect that to reduce my watch's lifetime by 10x at least.
Interestingly, though, the aesthetic reminds me a bit of my W71, which is more boxy and less angle-y than the classic F-91W.

lol you muppets, slaves to junk, worshippers of trash
So it's the suckless watch but with a built-in botnet?
Nice move! I wish it would support even more activity / health features in the future like GPS tracking, sleep tracking, etc. As a full package in the classic design it would make a great alternative to Garmin / Polar / Whoop / Oura etc.
Nice, still have my original Casio and Timex ones though.
