In this Casio W-86 review video, I take a look at the best alternative to the Casio F-91W... its successor if you will. This Casio W86 has several clear advantages and one or two slight disadvantages to consider. Either way, I think it's still the best cheap Casio digital watch out there right now.

IMO casio mrw is still better ;)

Mate the comment section is still being bombarded with scammers using your profile picture
never, listen me never, the casio f91w never will has a succesor because , it was the watch of our dads, and in this live has things that are irreplaceables.
Just got a reply from another scammer.
why did you shave your hair?
The crap backlight in the F-91W is part of its charm.
It make you really focus on what the time is and isn't glaring whilst also conserving energy. Personally I like it.
Backlight of f91w is very smooth and eyefriendly in nighttime, so you are not blinded and loose your sleep when you look for time at night. It works perfect for me.
I agree. I had my f91w with me in the military where things like that had more importance in general.
@RaniaIsAwesome I disagree -- if you're actually trying to see the time while doing something, the F-91W's backlight just isn't good enough. I've been super frustrated with it trying to check the time while driving or running.
@@maple_fields thats what u wear a divers watch as a daily, id only wear my casio if it matched my laid back outfit, if im ever needing to check the time i always have a phone
i don’t love the f-91w i got mine this this past christmas and it’s the only watch that doesn’t bother my wrist, its very very very useful and durable and i don’t see why he says “ the edges are more difined, the angular cut outs are the only different part and i’ve dinged and hit my f-91w up quite a lot and it has never scratched! it looks like it does but if you rub it with a shirt sleeve it’s gone😂! but that’s just my opinion and say, it’s different for everyone i know everything isn’t the same!!
Turquoise blue! This is a Tiffany edition! Must be in high demand.
Now for only €1500!
Couldn’t you wait till I get one… ;)
Registered on Casio waiting list or expressed an interest as it's known now...
@@MarkSmith-pd6fk buy the F-91w and a few others, it might help you get up the waiting list (or so I have heard)!
@@Neehalmahfuz 😂
Ben dropping the Casio knowledge hammer. I’m surprised Casio hasn’t directly sponsored you and made a special edition Ben’s Watch Club Casio. The back light on this is awesome, a huge upgrade
bens watch club brand f-91w would be amazing
I still prefer the f91w, its such a good little watch.
Got this watch and glad I picked it up. Its become a holiday watch, great to throw in the bag as a back up or to use when hiking
I work in security in the UK and have had the W-86 for a year or so now. I work 6 12hr night shifts out of every 8 so it lives on my wrist as it's tough, durable, functional, reliable, comfortable, rarely gets in the way, and costed me £8 from Amazon.
I own other nicer watches which I will switch to occasionally on my days off if I have made social plans but otherwise it only comes off the wrist during bath of shower time when I will wash it (submerged) and dry it again before I then wash myself!
I actually miss it when I have nicer watches on because of the functionality and how at home it feels on the wrist.
One year when the battery dies I will replace the battery instead of the watch just out of sentiment and worst case scenario if it needs replacing I can always afford to. The watch that loves you more than it loves it'self!
8 pounds? thats a steal, in poland cheapest one is for around 30
yo..how much is ur salary as security ?
@@nivedofficial £10.50ph. Not recommended as a career choice!
I settled on the w-86 based on your digital Casio comparison video. It's been my daily driver ever since, thanks Ben!!
Got one on my wrist right now. Been running about six years now without a battery change and still seems fine. No complaints at all (other than the fact I wouldn’t be especially confident getting it wet), especially considering it costs basically nothing.
They are perfectly fine in water unless you get really unlucky or consistently spend hours pushing the buttons while the watch is submerged.
I take mine off before bath time and chuck it into the bubble bath for a few minutes before I get in myself, wash it before i wash myself, then leave it to dry while I wash, then towel dry the watch and we're both good to go!
Also, there is a russian guy who pressure tests all manor of watches in an underwater pressure chamber watch goes to thousands of bar of pressure, it's amazing how deep under water casio watches can go before they start to fail, most can go deeper than the deepest scuba divers can safely dive to so they are fine to take swimming etc unless you get really unlucky with a Monday watch. Enjoy.
I still think that the F-105W is better as it address the light issue while mostly retaining the size and look of the appearance. Saying this as a proud owner of one.
@RaniaIsAwesome people who "have something wrong with their eyes" also deserve to enjoy an excellent watch. Also, the difference in the light of the F91 and the F105 is very noticeable and the illuminator back light is a serious upgrade on the f91 light.
Yes, I have one too and the 105 is my favorite 91 variety. But I still like the A158 better, which is really a 91 with a stainless band. Honestly, the 105 is more practical.
Just bought a 105W based on your comment, much appreciated
I prefer the acrylic on these casios, I occasionally buff them up with Polywatch if a few scratches appear
Love all Casios, G-shocks, Edifices etc, more reviews on these watches please.
I recently went with a W-217H over this one and now I'm thinking I need one of these too. That backlight is great.
I prefer the look and size of the F-105, which has the same light. So comfortable that's its my favorite weekend watch.
I have the F-91W, F-105, and W-86 (thanks to Ben) and I'd say the 91 and 105 are very similar except for the backlight, with the 86 being slightly larger in every dimension so has a bit more wrist presence. As stated the 86 is the only one that says it has 5 bar WR, though I bet if you wanted to push your luck you could probably go do 5 bar activities (i.e. swimming) w/ the 91 or 105 and they'd be just fine. It's a bummer that the 86 appears to be an EU (or maybe UK) market watch so you really have to go looking under a bunch of rocks to get this at a reasonable price (for what it is) if you live in North America. At a little over 20something grams, all of these watches pretty much disappear on the wrist, small or not.
Again a great review and an excellent spot, was not aware of this one. I have to disagree with the call for mineral crystal, acrylic scratches easily but can be buffed back to perfect whereas once mineral is scratched it stays scratched
I have the w218H and it's the best alternative here around, cheap, good looking, big digits and good illuminator, and plus it has a look a like g shock aesthetic
This looks a great watch and I like the new design of it. Thanks for sharing 😊👌
Nice informative video on F-91W
I think main draw of F91 is that it's an absolute legend, and a childhood memory for many - for a price of a meal in your fastfood place of choice. I got one just to be in a collection. Wear it around house doing chores and such, it virtually weighs nothing. Might as well not be there. But as I've said beyond simplicity and hilariously low price - it's just a part of pop culture people like to have. There are better digital watches. There are better digital watches from Casio. But there's only one watch you wore when you were 7. When summers seemed to last forever, and life was worry-free. And for many it was the F91.
Literally have a F91W on my wrist as I'm typing this on my BlackBerry. Love.
Ben, your B-roll is really spectacular even for such a modest subject as a digital Casio.
Always a good video
Omg! Subbed ! I purchased this watch 2 years ago and is my daily driver ❤❤
Hey Ben, what is your opinion on the W800? I recent bought one to replace the F91 I had for years, and I`m really happy with it. Great price, good dimensions, bigger display and better WR. Have you tried it?
Got to love the illuminator ! Great little Casio
Bought one Ben after watching your review - very cool watch I agree.
Thank you for the detailed review by the way, subbed to your channel buddy. ;)
Am getting back into Casio LCD in a big way recently.
I'm not a fan of those kinds of watches, but I enjoy this channel.
Nice one Ben, while I do not have an F91W (yet) I've had a couple of the Illuminator versions. My first one was back in the early 90's (not sure if it had the same model number but to look at was the same), I got a new one a few years ago and still love it. A great watch but it's not an F91W so maybe I need to fix that. Cheers.
I agree with your points here Ben. But honestly this unit is difficult to find. Even the local suppliers here only have the F91, F105, the previous version which is w59, but the w86 version not so much havent seen it being sold where I am. Compared with the F105, I like the color scheme of the w86, plus the cutouts in the strap.
Watched the video, still bought the F-91 after 😁
thanks for your excellent work
I think you're spot on,I have both watches and love the w-86.
I have a seven inch wrist so the F91 is sooooo small on it whereas the w-86 has that little more wrist presence,looks small but not stupidly small😂 and that backlight is sooooo much better.
😃👍
I still prefer the W217h as a F91 successor, the larger display that comes with the up sized case and the repositioned light button is appreciated.
@@afyaff That model is the B650WD-1A.
@@afyaff I bought mine about a year ago from Argos. I wear it mostly for golf, it's the best of the Casio line in my opinion. Might be worth checking that store if you happen to live in the UK.
@@afyaff I think that's a JDM piece.
Proportionately though, the w217 Is all over the place and just looks awful. Why can't they just make a proportionately slightly larger f91?
W-800 is better.
Great video Ben, I have been after one of these since November - nowhere has stock! debating shipping one from the far East
I was reading an article and realised you both used almost the exact same wording, then I realised it’s an article from your website! Great video and comparison!
It would be great if Casio made a larger version of the f91w. for now we'll have to make do with this or the w217h as alternatives. I have both the f91 and w217h. Definitely prefer the latter as the f91 looks a bit small on my wrist. Still wear it now and again purely for nostalgia 🤣
Love the white glove treatment lol
Great video! Awesome watch!
Hey Ben, I had a question regarding Forge and Foster. They are saying they are using a seagull movement, but there website push a lot of stuff on you. I really like how some of there watches look and was wondering if you have had any experiance with them, or any better alternativ to a cheap watch. I am aware that buying watches from these kinda manufacturers you are probably not getting a watch that win against the time, but rather a watch that will last a couple of years before you need to buy a new one.
Just wearing my SKMEI 1412 clone of the F91W while watching this. It also has a fantastic back light.
Yes! Only problem with those is that mine gains around 1.2 seconds a day, which is okay but not ideal
@Waris Yes know what you mean. Mine gains about 6 seconds a week. I just update the time every couple of weeks on it though.
I love the SKMEI 1412. Gonna get one in all colors!
@@metallicarchaea1820 I've got about four. Army Green, Silver, Black, Black with Gold Screen.
@@starcade90 Nice. I got the regular black one already. Love my SKMEI watches. I have the 1335, 1123, and the 1456.
Hello Ben. Sorry that i'm offtopic, but what do you think about the Edifice line from Casio? I didn't find anything about this line of watches from Casio on youtube and maybe you can help me or someone with some info. Can an Edifice be a good watch for day to day usage? I want to buy one for around 150$ but I don't know if I should have a look on other watches for that price. Thank you and love your content.
Am wearing the 86 right now..... Love it.
When my f91w strap gave out I was gonna a w86 but the uk shipping was taking too long. I ended up going down the Casio square rabbit hole and now I just recently purchased a rangeman.
I enjoy this model when I want to wear something that doesn't get in the way at all. Thanks for this sweet little piece, Ben!
Check out the W800-h. It's basically a 20 dollar g shock and you can hack it to add a count down timer screen. Casio had to downgrade the module manually just to make it less competitive for g shocks. It's also a true 4 button module and it's not much bigger than a Casio F-91w.
or get an F201WA which already has a timer
The A168 is still my favorite. Stainless, looks great, wears with anything, light is fantastic. I just love it. Been wearing it daily since I bought it a few years back.
I bought an f 105 based on your last video very happy with it, looks the same and the illuminator is much better
What if we buy both and swap the module inside ? Is this possible ?
Hi did you wear a long sleeve polo in this video? I dont really know how to pull that thing off
This is my current every day watch and one I wish I’d bought years ago as I’ve been through so many Casio’s, it’s a good size, legible and great backlight and won’t break the bank.
Are the modules and the gasket interchangeable to upgrade the F91?
I own one of all the modern "classic" Casio digital watches and they're all awesome for their own reasons. I have a dark blue and green NATO on my W-86 and I think it looks great!👌
The EL lighting just sold me on it! The light is the critical flaw in the F 91 W
Good video. Of the Casio presented, I have the F-91 and the W-217H and the W-217H surprised me positively. I also have a W-800, which has more features. Excellent choices.
I like the Skmei 1412. I'm aware the backlight uses more power, but I like it
Where does the Casio F105 fit? That is my go to alternate to the F91. Really like it. I think it looks closest to the F91 but offering the EL light.
Te agradezco por aconsejarlo ya que no lo conocía y por la buena reseña, saludos👍
You cannot find a W-86 anywhere. Did Casio withdraw it and replace with the W217H?
Ordering one right now
I have really thin wrist and now I'm confused if it would look big on my hand. F91w is similar but a lil bit smaller. Should I buy f91w? but it looks better imo -_-
Acrylic crystals can be polished well using polywatch, as long as the scratches arent terribly deep it can look like new again
Just ordered the classic Casio. When I softly strike over the display some stripes and points in black appear and immediately fade away also. Is this normal or a defect? Its a standard screen no black display or smth 🤔🤔
Info about the illumination duration would be much appreciated. My JDM DW5000 blinks too shortly for example...
The W86 glows as long as you press the light button
Nice review! This one looks as if it would fit my wrist a bit better than the classic F91. I'm a husky guy and it's just too small to look right.
Thought to ask this before, but never did. I know you're not a fan of the brand (me neither), but any chance you'd take a look at the Fossil Retro Digital? I've had one for almost a year now (FS5844) and I love it. Threw an aftermarket solid steel bracelet on it and it scratches that itch I've always had for a fully steel digital watch. Roughly the same size as the Casio 5600, maybe a tad wider. Might make an interesting video after the last Fossil review, hah.
I think Napoleon Dynamite wears an F91, but the strap may be from something else. Is the W86 strap possible
Can I put a bull bar on that watch? Something similar with dw 5600.
Could you say the W86 is the resin version of the a168?
Desde un vídeo anterior en donde Ben reseñaba varios Casios de esa misma gama me gustó ese modelo W86. Lo busque por todos lados y no lo encontré solo en Amazon UK, me anime a comprarlo pero tuve que pagar los impuestos de importación. Buen modelo de esa gama para mí el mejor.
I have the W86 and it's my go-to beater watch
I own both of them and they are reliable but electroluminesence is way better of course.
I have tried both the W96 and the F91W. I lean towards the F91W more, it is just a tiny bit more svelt and comfortable.
Sure the light on the W96 is vastly superior, and so is the water resistance is better. But day to day I've not noticed that the water resistance matters. I've even dived down to 10 metres with an F91W without any problem and I've paddle boarded all summer long without issues either.
The better light is nice, but I still prefer the strap and general aesthetic of the A158W for my F-91W alternative.
I really want to get the w-86 but I can’t find anywhere to buy it from and it’s not available on Amazon. Where else can I purchase the watch?
Same, I ended up going for the W217H which is also pretty good, because that one is just impossible to find in Europe, at least at a reasonable price.
I couldn't find the Casio F-87W (415 F-87) in the video but luckily I found my own Casio F-87W in a shoe box, and my Casio 503 SDB-300W as well. The F-87 won't work, but I managed to get the other one started. However, the two front buttons don't work properly. :-(
I know most people gravitate more towards the W217H as the real successor, but to me that looked like a brash F91W. I feel like W217H and the F91W are meant to give like a His and Hers feel.
nigga nah 😭
It's nice but I prefer the f-91w as I'm not a fan of that one's strap. My favourite Casio is by far the A163W but noone ever seems to talk about it, I can't find much info at all on it.
Top vid as always!
Wearing the W-86 right now. But mostly I wear the F91 by day and in the morning...and in the evenings the F105.... Going out the A168 Silver...and Gold on the Weekends...and the W86 when going out Casually.
This was a good video, but there _is_ one extremely big key problem:
The F91w was used in Morbius by the legendary actor Michael Morbius, therefore the F91w is objectively better not only than the alternatives presented, but also every Rolex (specifically Rolex).
You should do a review of the casio f84w. It's a retro reissue for casio and its slightly smaller than the f91w
Great watch. but really hard to find one of these now.
I just bought a casio watch from Amazon ... how to be sure it is original or not??
Thanks
Can you guys do me a favor? 😄 My F-91 just arrived and I've noticed that it makes some weird rattling sound when shaken side to side (there is no rattle when the watch is shaked dial up and down). It does not sound like something is broken because it makes the same noice all the time while shaken so its not like some part is broken and moves freely inside the case. All the buttons and functions work normally. Any idea?
Counterfeit
Do you have a vid on the 548w-700??
Aras algún día algún vídeo acerca del f -105 edición red que se supone fue echa sólo para los Estados Unidos
I’d love one of these, but they’re very difficult to obtain in the US (for a reasonable price)…
Ben, love your content, decided to subscribe, however i stumbled on a casio w-97 lot of luck watch on ebay. have you ever seen one.?
they are very expensive used. what is this game? No content i could find online. Anyway have a good day
Marko
You should try a Casio Oceanus T200! Fit & finish looks amazing for a 400 USD watch. JDM only though.
Is there any solution to the broken lugs of casio f91w j
For me, the W59 is my favourite. A little thicker, bigger buttons and look sleeker.
Mine stopped working after swimming in pool then I shipped it back to Casio cause it supposed to be 50m. Bad vedation maybe.
I prefer it to the 91. A lad a school had one and I always like the look and admired it. When I saw it on offer at Argos for £11 I just thought why not haha
Whats the difference between this one and the F105
I suspect the W86 is a UK model. Can't find it anywhere in the states. We have the F105W-1A, which looks similar. The band on the W86 looks much nicer. Until I can get my hands on the W86, I'll just have to enjoy the W217H, which I'm pretty smitten with.
The W86 does not show up on Amazon US, and the A168 is going for $14.99. Unless you insist on a black watch you may as well go for the A168, which is $2.00 more than the cheapest F91 model I found.
I tried to buy the w-86 (I love its looks) but to no avail.
Sad, I know.
So had no choice but to buy four f91w 's to be safe for the future.
Have u tried the silver A178 it might not be in your market but import it its amazing it has a bigger display the A158&A168 and better backlight than A158 And it has dual time
Just saw one of these on Amazon here in the US, and I HAD to order it, even though I’d just ordered ANOTHER Casio, and I told myself I was trying to watch my money!!
There aren't any of these for sale on the link you provided. On ebay they're all pre-owned and far too pricey. Is it REALLY worth the hassle to find one? 🤔
Typically this would cost like $25, but I can't find any for less than $45... is it still worth it?
@@Demosthenes409 I;m finding exactly the same trying to get a W201 in the U.K. I've just ordered a new W86 for £17 ($22) delivered
The W-86 is essentially an F-91W with a light modification yet the F-91w is still the world's best selling watch. That tells you that the F-91w is more than just a watch. It genuinely is an icon of our times. It's gone beyond just being a watch into being God tier. Not many watches manage that.
Can u make a video about the casio amw-830d-2a ?
I've got one of these. Nice watch but my watch band has broken. Anyone got a good link for a cheap replacement?
Pacparts has oem casio bands
Has anyone tried a MR-G 100T titanium MR-G 200m water resistant and the most perfect light blue backlight.. All for around £200 or less from Japan, one of the best budget options ever and not seen in England very much. I have had for years and it still feels special whenever I wear it..!
