And if you’re into the vintage design as much as I am, then you’ll get a lot of mileage out of this inexpensive watch.

Even the slightly different case shape of the F-84W makes it feel more retro than the F-91W.

I think that after many years of searching and finally having located it, I can take the confidence to affirm that I am the sole owner of a Casio F-91W model Made in Japan demonstrable with photos, and I can affirm that Wikipedia makes several errors in its Information about this model.As you’d expect, the F-84W is incredibly small and thin even for a digital watch. This thing seems to be tailor-made for small-wristed wearers. The upper left button, labeled "Light", turns on the light, cancels the alarm, resets the stopwatch or marks the split (lap) time, and is used for selecting settings. a b Moyer, Phillip (June 15, 2019).

If anyone knows any other picture of the model F-91 W Japan U, it would be happy and public in this thread.

I wore both for the same amount of hours and trust me, while this may sound trivial, I found myself adjusting the ’84’ on my wrist more often than the ’91’. 6. Same, same but not the same (?) As much as I’ve touched on comfort earlier on, I should stress that the strap on the Casio F-91W is the more comfortable option for a long day out. While the strap of the ’84’ is more pliable, it doesn’t exactly wrap around the wrist as nicely as the ’91’s. The design has quite a few noticeable changes from the F-91W. It has less text, and while some of the labeling is the same, it appears in different places on the F-84W. There's retro, and then there's really retro. Where 1980s Casio digital watch designs are concerned, this is as retro as it gets.

As mentioned, both have lug widths of 18mm but the ’84’ has a more traditional lug design. With the ’91’, the lugs are pretty much non-existent and should you decide the swap out the straps, it may run the risk of looking a little oddly flush against the case. My wrists are about 6.3” around, and the F-84W is just the right size for me. If anything, it’s actually a little on the small side. The mode button lets you switch between the alarm, stopwatch, and timekeeping modes. Both the alarm and stopwatch are easy to use, though it may take a few uses for the button layout to become second nature.

The thin case sits so close to the wrist that it almost blends in. It’s so light that it feels more like a bracelet than a watch. You could definitely forget that you have it on. Yes, yes and yes! I totally agree with your points as well – especially on the F91W’s keeper having a mind of its own. And I’m glad someone appreciates crass chest hair jokes/references!

Both watches have the Casio module 593 and all, I mean ALL, of the functions are the same.
