Watches You Should Know: The Casio F105W-1A

WATCHES YOU
SHOULD KNOW:

The Casio F105W-1A Illuminator Sport Watch


The Casio F105W-1A Illuminator is one of the simplest, easy-wearing, and most popular watches in the world.

It’s a slightly improved version of its brother, the F-91W (which has a faint green LED backlight) where as the Casio F105W-1A has a full screen electric blue LED backlight which makes it much easier to read in low light situations.

The Casio F105W-1A is my go-to travel watch — it’s a slim, water-resistant watch that’s easily set to new timezones, and it definitely isn’t flashy.

It’s a tried and true style piece that’s got a very understated normcore aesthetic.

The Casio F105W-1A:

Material: Resin

Backlight: EL Full-Screen

Water-Resistant: Yes

Features: 1/100 second digital stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly time signal, and auto calendar
