A comment on the water resistance of the F-91w: I have tested all of my Casio watches in a pool for an extensive period (an F-91w, an F-84w, a CA-53w, and an A700), and ALL OF THEM as it turns out are waterproof, not just splash resistant. They all functioned submerged without trouble, and even operation of the pushers (against Casio's recommendation) caused no trouble. I even did a math equation on the CA-53w while underwater! Casio is notorious for under rating their aquatic performance.
I imagine this is because the buttons can wear out and lose their waterproofness. If you use the buttons a lot there would be the risk that could happen. Japanese companies tend to be very careful about making promises if they can be false under somewhat unlikely circumstances. Even if those promises would be true 99% of the time.
It's nice to see that after quite some years with heavy uses, the silver paint on plastic case still hold up without any noticeable scratch. Impressive.
This watch also allows you to set 4 time zones. You can hit just the SEARCH button to cycle through the 4 time zones. You can make any of them the main time zone by pressing the ADJUST and LIGHT buttons at the same time. This is a VERY NICE feature for a travel watch.
It's almost a pity that your uploads are so few and far between. The presentation is stellar and you may have the best general taste of any and all watch channels. Btw. my World Time runs +/-1 second per month so I'd still cry for that thing. Could be stranded on an island for 5 years and would still be more punctual than a Swiss watchmaker.
This is total value review..Real experience while using it, with footage of your real travelling experience, I don't realise that I stay for the video until it finished. Bravo!
When my job requires travel, this is my daily watch. It's light , comfortable and very practical. It's really a perfect travel watch with the world time and the alarms. Easy to use and set.
Yesterday I picked one up on clearance at a big box store for $7. I was going to clean them out, but I saw a couple kids looking at them as well, so I left a few for them. I've got a decent (14) collection of G-Shocks, an Oceanus T-2610, and a variety of of other Casio's. So I am a bit of a Casio fan, but this one somehow slipped under my radar. I am really liking this watch. It's very legible and comfortable. And it just looks really cool.
Just watched the video wearing my Casio Royale World Timer (All black 🖤). I recently took a road trip on my motorcycle and took 4 of my watches with me (Orient Ray 2, Bambino V2, Seiko SRPE43 and Casio Royale World Timer). I spent so much time worrying about the safety of my watches that I couldn't enjoy most of it. I made a mistake. Silver lining? I wore the Casio the most. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. This is a great travel watch. Thank you for your amazing content. I don't miss a video that you publish. I have a request that you make a video of your travels. I'm sure people would love it.
This will replace my Apple Watch for travel. Apple Watch is great but a really high maintenance travel companion. This would have done FAR better on my recent Kenya trip. Thanks for a great review!
I'm currently wearing a Casio AE -1200 WHD on my wrist . I haven't tested it on trips abroad yet, but I'll give it a try on my trip to Pitești in the end of March.
I’m sorry you haven’t continued this channel. You have the best watch reviews of any channels out there. And the numbers for the channel are actually fantastic given the numbers of videos and the time between them. Hopefully you are doing OK, and maybe someday you’d consider doing more videos, they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I was almost done a new video and had my phone pickpocketed with all the footage on it. After that I got a bit lazy. New video coming soon though. Thank you for the comment!
Thanks for your review. I ended up getting this same model with the bracelet. I like it, have done a small mod to remove the "world time and illuminator" from the bezel, did it with a rubber eraser, looks a bit more classy now. I think I'll remove the module and take the "10 Year Battery and 5 Alarms" off to the make it less cluttered. I bought a screen protector with it. It doesn't really pill my arm hairs like I expected it to. The functions are great, I use all.of them. I'm happy with this purchase. Your review helped me decide to get it, thanks.
I bought this watch in preparation for a trip to Australia and it was amazing to have. I didn't even know everyone thought this watch was great until long after I purchased it
My grandpa got me this watch when it came out in 2012 so I could keep track of the time as a new freshman in high school. I never really wore it, I wasn’t into watches at the time. So of course, I lost it pretty quickly. Fast forward to 2023 and I see one of my coworkers wearing the exact same watch. “Oh yeah I’ve had mine since sophomore year of high school, 2012. Best watch ever. I just got a new one this morning lol I plan to mod tf out of it. So crazy how I treated this diamond like a piece of coal. I’ve caught the watch bug BAD. So far all I have are Casios, and I don’t really feel like I’ll need anything else.
@@WondersofWatchdom oh boy it’s my favorite watch lol I got a few mods for it. It’s actually the one watch people seem to notice, I get compliments on it all the time.
Great vid🔥, I was unsure first whether to buy it but knowing about its relation with bond ( although it being fictitious) I was motivated to buy it… loved your storytelling style
I was sleeping on this watch a little bit but after seeing this video and some others, I think I'll go ahead and purchase one now for my upcoming Europe trip. BTW, I literally brought black hi-top sneakers and an F-91W with me on my trip and have had absolutely no problems through any airport security (so far...)
Got a gift recently by my girlfriend. Always wanted this classic. Timezones feature is I liked instantly to set timezones of all footballing arenas and my workplace.
It's always a pleasant surprise when I see a new video from Wonders of Watchdom in my subscriptions box. The way you review watches is so in-depth, thoughtful, and refreshing (compared to the majority of watch channels). Keep up the good work!
It's absolutely great, unorthodox, useful, and cool watch. I have several watches like Tissots, Citizens, etc. and all black version of this model. Suprisingly, when I wear this one, it grabs people's attention rather than my swiss made watches
An excellent alternative if you want the 91w form factor but want to look less like a bad guy is the A168. Still $20 or less, stainless steel band, it's slightly larger and features an electroluminescent backlight.
The world time function also has a quick swap function to change between the world time (the timezone you are traveling to) and the home time (press both top buttons at the same time when on the desired time zone) and also has quick access to the 4 configurable timezones accessible with the lower right button when in time mode.. These are both very usefull when traveling (especially for those who travel frequently between the same timezones)..
Crazy, I drive truck, one time I left home for a 5 day trip and left my daily watch home, when I got to my first end of day stop there was a Walmart within walking distance and this is the exact watch I bought to be my beater travel watch. All of the points in your video are spot on.
I have only four reasons: Cheap (easy to replace). Timer (I use it a lot in my work). 10 atm water resist 10 years battery (no need to open the watch "ever" so the water resist is also at least 10 years).
I watch your reviews even when I'm not interested in the watch, so seeing one I'm actually interested in had me clicking so fast! Good work man, the storytelling you put in and the travel footage adds so much to the video.
Man this is a greeat great review of a watch i have seen so far,. Specially the fact about the watch being a target. I always thought of it. Like how people wear expensive things and walk around with it
HEY there you are!!! I love your channel, I really like your thoroughness and explanation of the watches and I've been waiting for you to upload! Clicked so fast I almost cracked my screen! Keep up the good work and take as long as you need between videos, as long as the quality doesn't wane, I can wait around all year! Keep it up
The Casio DW-291 is my designated travel watch over the AE-1200, for one reason - the 200m water resistance. Otherwise, it does everything the AE1200 does. The Casio Royale is still pretty great. I plan on modding mine to a steel case/sapphire crystal.
Outstanding review, thank you very much. I have this watch in the all black style, but now I'm going to buy the one you featured as I think it's so much better looking. Casio makes some incredible watches for very reasonable prices. I have several and all have been fenomenal. Thank you again for your great videos 🙏👍👏
Fantastic storytelling as usual. Keep making those videos. Always something new to learn and really well done presentation. Your channel definitely stands out.
Great video, thanks! I picked up one of these this week. After removing a lot of the text on the case and face plate, I really like it. FYI... the "Casio Royale" nickname comes from its resemblance to the Seiko G757 worn by Roger Moore in "Octopussy". 🙂 I'll also put a plug out there for the Casio AE-2100W. Exact same functions as the 1200, but round case, mineral crystal (instead of acrylic), and 200m water resistant.
Glad you liked it! Interesting that you should mention a James Bond Seiko. I just finished a new video today (releasing Saturday) that shows the Seiko M354 from Moonraker.
I have a Citezen Eco Skyhawk and a Tissot Solar Touch. Both these watches are perfect for travel because it tracks time zones. You are right, if I were to travel to another country, I would rather wear this and lose or someone steal it, than one of the other two I have.
I really enjoyed your review. It was a change from other typical watch reviews which are all about the materials, movements, and size. Yours seemed to feature how the watch exists in the "environment", which was interesting. Though having said that, I would have liked to know a bit about the sizing, e.g., fit on the wrist (under a shirt), and the ability to see the display (Too small? or Large enough to see easily). But then that would be a typical review. :)
The thumbnail surprised me because this is the watch I've been wearing every day for nearly ten years! I've never seen anyone else talk about it before. You won't find a better watch in my opinion
I have a small watch collection.. seikos, orients, some vintage mechanicals. This Casio is the cheapest one I have yet gets by far the most wristime. Very light compared to an auto, cool retro style, tough as nails, accurate.. run with it, swim with it. It's just a fantastic all around watch.
Thank you for the interesting review, couldn't agree more as I personally use one as a tool watch being a cabin crew. One of the pilots had one too on my last flight which goes to show it is appreciated by all travelers and flight and cabin crews. One do it all watch that could be perfected if radio controlled and solar powered but it would probably kill the cost advantage and 10 year of battery life allows for a lot of travelling without caring too much about you battery dying.
Bc of you I bought Casio Royale, and the Timex expedition scout. Your videos realy help me a lot of choosing what to buy. But here in europe the watches where way more expensive. For the casio i paid 35$ and for the timex around 70$... Timex is my first watch was overpriced, but i love that watch!! Thanks for the reviews!!
One concern you didn't seem to mention is the potential when hoisting shoulder straps over your shoulder, and other travel related activities, of snagging your watch and having the strap come loose, which usually leads to your watching hitting the floor hard, and maybe being lost. When I travel I wear an orange Seiko SKX-007 on a fabric NATO strap. That way if one pin gets bent and comes out of socket, the watch remains on my wrist. Regarding travelling with a watch-icon, I once greeted some hikers in the Great Smokey Mountain national park and noticed one of them, a senior citizen, had on a Rolex submariner. I mentioned it before our brief conversation ended. (I always take a break to talk to passersby on the trails). He said he wore it all the time, never took it off. It was a very expensive TOOL watch, and I guess he justified owning it by always wearing it. I was just a little surprised he didn't have a sacrificial watch to wear in the back-country like that. My tool-watch is a Hamilton Khaki.
I wore that Casio F-91W on a half-way around the world trip for some of the same reasons you mentioned and it did its job, nothing bad happened. Nobody stared. And I actually didn't know about its Osama connection, other people probably didn't know either or don't care.
I never thought I would wear 2 watches but I an pretty tactical. I wear a $40 Amazfit Bio S on my left wrist and a Casio World Time bronze gold on my right wrist. The Amazfit Bip S has watch faces that are made like Casio World Time.
After nearly a year of hearing the hype about this watch from online watch communities, I finally purchased the Casio Royale. I have to say, I love it. It's aesthetically pleasing, and as someone who travels often, this watch is a must-have. Personally, I always travel with the Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude. While that watch is affordable, the only downside is that if I were to lose it, it would be difficult to replace due to long shipping times from Russia to the EU. The Casio Royale, on the other hand, is easy to replace and also reasonably priced. Here's a fun fact about the James Bond connection with this watch: Roger Moore wore a Seiko in the film Octopussy, and the case and overall design of the Seiko are similar to the Casio Royale. I agree with the concept that if James Bond were a real-life secret agent, he would go for the Casio Royale over an Omega or Rolex.
Not to be rude at all but... what do you do? It’s really interesting that you’ve travelled a lot, and to unique places. You busted out the metal detector and I was like “who is this guy???” Hahaha. I agree with other people here, you have the most interesting and thoughtful takes on watches in your reviews. I actually like the longer format for this reason too. Thanks for the content, and keep posting please!
I have been upgraded twice and on both occasions I looked like someone who just ventured out of the jungle. The second time I showed up wearing trekking boots, trekking pants (that can be unzipped and turned into shorts) an old t-shirt and my army issued sleeping bag as hand luggage. I got to ride home on business class. I guess they are mostly going to upgrade you if you are travelling solo.
Got this watch a few years back super cheap and thought it was fake cos of the price and the plastic body case. I still have it and use it til now really good watch imo

@@WondersofWatchdom this CASINO is going to be my next favorite watch.
Do you have any videos on musical music box watches ? 🎼
This is how watches should be reviewed, with stories, context and memories. At the end of the day, that's what it is all about. Thanks WoW!
These videos really are something else. The best on youtube by a far margin in my opinion.
@@d3xmeister agreed what you said casio watches are like timex they are built to take the punishment
Agreed. Its more personal, more useful and interesting than pure "technical description" reviews.
A comment on the water resistance of the F-91w:
I have tested all of my Casio watches in a pool for an extensive period (an F-91w, an F-84w, a CA-53w, and an A700), and ALL OF THEM as it turns out are waterproof, not just splash resistant. They all functioned submerged without trouble, and even operation of the pushers (against Casio's recommendation) caused no trouble. I even did a math equation on the CA-53w while underwater!
Casio is notorious for under rating their aquatic performance.
I imagine this is because the buttons can wear out and lose their waterproofness. If you use the buttons a lot there would be the risk that could happen. Japanese companies tend to be very careful about making promises if they can be false under somewhat unlikely circumstances. Even if those promises would be true 99% of the time.
Some youtube reviewer said that the F-91w takes showers without any issue.
I do spearfishing and use my f91w all the time been using it for like 4 years.
I have the f84w also and have worn it in the shower almost every day for the last year. It's the perfect around the house watch.
@@mariomendez7727 this is a meaningful comment. how deep did you take it to?
I got one around the time I first watched this video and it's now been to 4 continents and ~10 countries and served me well.
Love it! Glad to hear it’s been a great travel watch for you too.
It's nice to see that after quite some years with heavy uses, the silver paint on plastic case still hold up without any noticeable scratch. Impressive.

Best long form commercial for a watch ever. Anybody else want one now? Casio should pay you for this lol. Love your content please keep producing!
"Casio, are you reading this?" lol.
It's almost a pity that your uploads are so few and far between. The presentation is stellar and you may have the best general taste of any and all watch channels.
Btw. my World Time runs +/-1 second per month so I'd still cry for that thing. Could be stranded on an island for 5 years and would still be more punctual than a Swiss watchmaker.
The reviews are few and far between, but that kind of makes them more special when a new video is uploaded.

When my job requires travel, this is my daily watch. It's light , comfortable and very practical. It's really a perfect travel watch with the world time and the alarms. Easy to use and set.
Yesterday I picked one up on clearance at a big box store for $7. I was going to clean them out, but I saw a couple kids looking at them as well, so I left a few for them. I've got a decent (14) collection of G-Shocks, an Oceanus T-2610, and a variety of of other Casio's. So I am a bit of a Casio fan, but this one somehow slipped under my radar.

The thumbnail surprised me because this is the watch I've been wearing every day for nearly ten years! I've never seen anyone else talk about it before. You won't find a better watch in my opinion
As always! Fantastic review with tons of information!
Thank you very much! Love your videos!
I have a small watch collection.. seikos, orients, some vintage mechanicals.
This Casio is the cheapest one I have yet gets by far the most wristime. Very light compared to an auto, cool retro style, tough as nails, accurate.. run with it, swim with it.
It's just a fantastic all around watch.
Thank you for the interesting review, couldn't agree more as I personally use one as a tool watch being a cabin crew. One of the pilots had one too on my last flight which goes to show it is appreciated by all travelers and flight and cabin crews. One do it all watch that could be perfected if radio controlled and solar powered but it would probably kill the cost advantage and 10 year of battery life allows for a lot of travelling without caring too much about you battery dying.
Bc of you I bought Casio Royale, and the Timex expedition scout. Your videos realy help me a lot of choosing what to buy. But here in europe the watches where way more expensive. For the casio i paid 35$ and for the timex around 70$... Timex is my first watch was overpriced, but i love that watch!! Thanks for the reviews!!
One concern you didn't seem to mention is the potential when hoisting shoulder straps over your shoulder, and other travel related activities, of snagging your watch and having the strap come loose, which usually leads to your watching hitting the floor hard, and maybe being lost. When I travel I wear an orange Seiko SKX-007 on a fabric NATO strap. That way if one pin gets bent and comes out of socket, the watch remains on my wrist.
Regarding travelling with a watch-icon, I once greeted some hikers in the Great Smokey Mountain national park and noticed one of them, a senior citizen, had on a Rolex submariner. I mentioned it before our brief conversation ended. (I always take a break to talk to passersby on the trails). He said he wore it all the time, never took it off. It was a very expensive TOOL watch, and I guess he justified owning it by always wearing it. I was just a little surprised he didn't have a sacrificial watch to wear in the back-country like that. My tool-watch is a Hamilton Khaki.
That was a great review. I have this watch and totally agree with all your points. Very well done..
Deserve a like, much information I didn't even know I needed 😂😂😂
Thanks, man! I love your videos
I wore that Casio F-91W on a half-way around the world trip for some of the same reasons you mentioned and it did its job, nothing bad happened. Nobody stared. And I actually didn't know about its Osama connection, other people probably didn't know either or don't care.
It’s a great watch. The small size takes some getting used to, but it’s so practical.
What exactly did you expect to happen? It's a watch...
@@misterlove6225 The watch forum guys love to tell people that regular people will get detained for wearing an F-91W watch for no reason.
I never thought I would wear 2 watches but I an pretty tactical. I wear a $40 Amazfit Bio S on my left wrist and a Casio World Time bronze gold on my right wrist. The Amazfit Bip S has watch faces that are made like Casio World Time.
After he said 'demonstration' at 6:17 and showing a tree and some grass, was half-expecting him to fling some of those watches at the tree!
After nearly a year of hearing the hype about this watch from online watch communities, I finally purchased the Casio Royale. I have to say, I love it. It's aesthetically pleasing, and as someone who travels often, this watch is a must-have. Personally, I always travel with the Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude. While that watch is affordable, the only downside is that if I were to lose it, it would be difficult to replace due to long shipping times from Russia to the EU. The Casio Royale, on the other hand, is easy to replace and also reasonably priced.
Here's a fun fact about the James Bond connection with this watch: Roger Moore wore a Seiko in the film Octopussy, and the case and overall design of the Seiko are similar to the Casio Royale. I agree with the concept that if James Bond were a real-life secret agent, he would go for the Casio Royale over an Omega or Rolex.
Not to be rude at all but... what do you do? It’s really interesting that you’ve travelled a lot, and to unique places. You busted out the metal detector and I was like “who is this guy???” Hahaha. I agree with other people here, you have the most interesting and thoughtful takes on watches in your reviews. I actually like the longer format for this reason too. Thanks for the content, and keep posting please!
That F-91W fact has blown my mind😂
I have been upgraded twice and on both occasions I looked like someone who just ventured out of the jungle. The second time I showed up wearing trekking boots, trekking pants (that can be unzipped and turned into shorts) an old t-shirt and my army issued sleeping bag as hand luggage. I got to ride home on business class. I guess they are mostly going to upgrade you if you are travelling solo.
They probably just wanted to seat you next to the air marshal lol
Love ur videos...great job ....u kept us waiting but worth the wait
This is a great review. Very very good.
Well done. Ordered using your link. Thanks.
Great review. I just bought this watch ⌚️
>>It doesn’t looks expensive so they won’t steal it
>>It looks expensive so they won’t downgrade my flight
It looks classy and not cheap, but also not worth robbing someone for.
Got this watch a few years back super cheap and thought it was fake cos of the price and the plastic body case. I still have it and use it til now really good watch imo
Really nice video!
