CasioF105W-1A Casio Illuminator Watch

This is an overall great watch. I had a Casio like this one but it must have been a model from before this one, and that one I did not like because it's light was green-ish and it was truly hard to see the display in the light. But this one's light is quite opposite. It is bright and maybe just a bit too much. But too bright might be better than not bright enough. I never took this watcch off, and from never ever ever taking it off, one of the straps did break off, but that was to be expected. I will be getting that fixed very soon.This watch is great, for the price, it's quite good. Use it in hot humid weathers and condensation is never a problem. It is not fancy, if that is what you are looking at.But I am giving this champ 5 stars forResistance and quality, meaning that giving the fact that I NEVER EVER EVER take it off, and the fact that it stays nice and clear, no condensation, weather in pools, or waters with stuff in it, it does not break down, timer stays accurate, screen stays clear.Size: love the fact that is is not something big and clunky.Comfort: Being on a PC all day using mouse, mousepads hurt with those mouse foams. But with this small light straps, don't bother much (maybe that also contributed to one strap falling off).Discrete: since it is nice and small, it does not get in the way with snug fitting sleeves of jackets, blazers and shirts.R

This is a simple, light-weight, dependable, inexpensive wrist watch with a rubber-like band. Not trendy or elegant. I love this watch. I've been wearing it for more than 30 years. Multi-functional time, date, running timer and more settings. When the long-lasting batteries die, I throw out the old watch and put on a new one. I always have at least one in reserve.

Incredibly durable, the backlight is bright, the display is great, the time is accurate, it's easy to set, the water resistance is fantastic, it's incredibly light(22.22g), the band is durable and comfortable, the alarm and stopwatch work as expected, the alarm sound is a good volume, no other watch has these features at this weight, 10/10.

I owned a Casio F105W-1A Illuminator identical to this one that I bought at Walmart at retail for $22 in 2011, *not* the $55 that this watch supposedly lists for. I wore it daily for over two years until the band tore from use. I wear my watches slightly tighter than most people do and this may have caused stress on the band. It kept time for another year until sporadically dying, so the battery life on this model was 3 1/2 years for me. That watch may have been sitting on the rack for years before I picked it up, which would explain the short battery life. Keeps time very well and loses maybe a couple minutes over several months. Classic Casio styling, the original F105W was released in 1995 or 1996 if I recall correctly.The only issue I have with this Casio Illuminator I bought off Amazon is that the display is slightly weaker than I remember it being on my old one and the illumination function is somewhat less bright. This doesn't make the watch illegible by any means but it is something I've noticed. I hope it's not due to a weak battery that is going to die soon but so far after over six months it still works great. For $14 with free shipping the price can't be beat for a classic watch that should last you years.

Inexpensive Casio watch. Japanese quality. Easy to wear and comfortable. Keeps time well. Most importantly, it impresses the ladies.

Great watch, just like the f91 with a better light

It’s a simple watch. No complicated settings. It tells time well and is flawless in design. I don’t dunk the watch in a swimming pool but it is resistant to water. For $20 it’s a good investment. It’s fairly attractive. Has a nice light to light up at night if you wish. It’s not imposing. If you find the need to tell the time in Tokyo and impress your friends then perhaps this is not the watch for you.When did men decide that $200 divers watches that add weight to your wrist that have diamonds in them was the way to go? These are the watches I grew up with. My stores were Kmart and Sears.I love this watch!!

Functionally, everything is ok - display, setting, illumination - all fine.The one big issue is that the wrist band is way to small - it is sized for a child !!!
