I have been rocking the Casio F91W for many years, and I love the minimalist design and solid functionality. Unfortunately, I seem to be tearing then up. They used to last a few years, but I've been doing more installation and retrofit work lately, and I just seem to be beating them up.
found an F-91W in a streambed. No strap. It was buried among little fist-sized rocks in the stream... It was scratched up from what seemed to be years of being gradually washed down the stream and ground against the Sierra Nevada granite. The next morning at 6am, its alarm went off in our tent. Amazing.

I took it to a local watch shop to get a fresh battery, and as expected, it fired right up like nothing happened during its nearly 18 year hibernation in my drawer. Huge kudos to Casio for making such a bulletproof module.
You've spent watch money on the wallet and wallet money on the watch. I respect it :D
Not pictured is a Casio F-91W with an OLLEE module swap
Casio F-91W (prefer not to pull my phone out for checking time as I’ll end up getting distracted, plus the vintage look is just awesome. Great cheap watch that lasts forever).
