Hello! I came across your videos while searching for proper reviews of lesser-known vintage Casio models with better water resistance, like the B650WD. The more I watched, the more I noticed something both familiar and unique about the way you speak. After a while, I realized from your accent that you’re Indonesian! Your reviews are top-notch, and I’m surprised you haven’t attracted a larger audience. Please keep making great videos, sir!

Just got it really like it — not sure why no one talks about this guy.

I bought the same watch awhile ago. It is one of my favorites.

My first Casio watch. Bought around September 2023.

The best back light of any cheap casio.

It looks elegant with that metal strap, i think.

Anyway, i just got myself the MWD 100H with the golden display screen.
It has a resin strap, which is not their greatest strap, so i'm now looking for a nice metal one for it.

Casio is good but every basic casio watch has really bad backlight... boring resin plastic 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 and overpriced

What's your opinion about wearing small watches like f91w on fat wrist around 18-20cm?
