Standard Digital F-84W-1 [Japan Imports]

Product Information

The time or date is adjusted by pressing the lower left button three times to bring the watch to time adjustment mode. The top left button is used to cycle through seconds, hours, minutes, month, date, day and normal mode. The right button is used to adjust the flashing value displayed. Unlike any other value, the seconds can only be zeroed. Should this happen before 30 seconds, the watch will zero in at the beginning of the current minute. After 30 seconds it will start the next minute as displayed. When the adjustments are finished, the bottom left button can be pressed once to return the watch to normal mode. The quartz movement, designated Module 593 [ citation needed], is powered by a single CR2016 3-volt lithium button cell. [8] Water resistance [ edit ] As you’d expect, the F-84W is incredibly small and thin even for a digital watch. This thing seems to be tailor-made for small-wristed wearers. The thin grooves on both the dial and strap are also very old school. Even the slightly different case shape of the F-84W makes it feel more retro than the F-91W. Casio digital watches have been around for decades, and they’re some of the most popular watches on the market. They’re cheap, reliable, and well-designed.

Some sources say that the F-84W only has 30m of water resistance while others claim it’s waterproof. Personally, I’ve taken it swimming and had zero problems with it. What I Like It’s really comfortable on the wrist, and the strap is even softer and more supple than the strap on the F-91W. I’ve never really had an issue with the rubber catching hair or getting too uncomfortable. What I Don’t LikeLastly, is the F-84W better than the F-91W? No. As said above, they're functionally identical. Both watches have the same quality to them. The reason to buy the F-84W is for the mid-80s styling and the fact it's slightly smaller, thinner and lighter. I like the F-91W, but I actually prefer the lesser-known F-84W, a watch that I don’t think gets enough attention. To further ram home the point that the Casio F-84W is the more delicate model, the resin strap is cut differently. The third to last hole was the max for my six-inch wrist. With the ’91’ however, the fifth to last hole was where I called it.

I synced it with my MB6 5610 two weeks ago today and it is still in perfect time. It's WRUW for me today. There's retro, and then there's really retro. Where 1980s Casio digital watch designs are concerned, this is as retro as it gets. The F-84W is especially great for smaller wrists. Unlike many other digital watches, it doesn’t look bulky at all.The right button, labeled "Alarm On-Off/24hr", is the function button: when used, it starts and stops the stopwatch, changes the settings currently being adjusted, or switches between the 12- and 24-hour modes, depending on what mode the watch is currently in. Pressing all three buttons at the same time will fill all the cells on the LCD until any button is pressed again.
