Casio has introduced a new G-Shock F-91WB-2A2 watch model, which is already available for purchase in the US via Amazon.

Flashback

The first F-91 series watches appeared in 1989. Before that, there were F-87, B615 and other lesser-known models. At that time, Casio engineers set out to create a compact, functional and affordable digital watch for the mass market.

The new F-91WB model has no significant differences from its predecessors, except for a cleaner dial design - the number of inscriptions around the screen has been reduced, and the button labels are now located vertically.

Here's What We Know

This turquoise version of the popular G-Shock model has a number of useful features, including two time formats, LED screen backlighting and alarms.

According to Casio, this watch can run for up to seven years on a single battery.

The G-Shock F-91WB-2A2 has a standard set of features that are common to previous models in the series. These include a stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second, a daily alarm, hourly alarms and a choice of 12-hour and 24-hour time formats.

The calendar is automatically updated and the time accuracy is only 30 seconds per month. For convenience in the dark, the watch is equipped with LED backlighting.

The model is made of bioplastic, a non-toxic material made from raw materials of organic origin.

This watch is powered by a CR2016 battery and can last up to seven years without the need to replace the power supply.

The price of the G-Shock F-91WB-2A2 in the United States is $29.95, which is in line with the price of other F-91W 2024 models.

This watch is currently only available through Amazon, and there is no clear information regarding its availability in other regions such as Europe.
