Is My Casio F91W A Fake? Comparison. 

I have had a fake one. It has better backlight. That is how you spot a fake f91w

Both of them are real f-91w casios. one of the best ways to find a fake is low quality printing of the words and red little arrows on the watch and also real casio watches are only made in *china* and *thailand*. If on the back plate of the watch is written made in *malaysia* or *japan* *do not buy it*. some people are ignorant and you did a great video, subbed👍🏻

I bought my (first) F-91W earlier today (Argos, Liffey Valley, Dublin, €11.99) and well happy - it tells the time (accurately), has a backlight (ok, green LEDs have more forward voltage than red, orange, yellow & amber but hey - ain't broken, don't change it), stopwatch, nice alarm and both looks & feels good. It's a keeper. 'Nuff said.

Even after 3 years, your video still helping people. I JUST got one FW91 Green Color! Bought from Aliexpress and still SO identical, I think its a refurhished.

Here in the UK, a 100% Genuine Casio F91-W costs £10.99 GBP ($13.50 USD) I don't fully understand why anyone would go to great lengths to make a fake watch that sells for so little money? I collect wristwatches..I have to say I do have the F91-W watch in my collection .. It is a design classic ..Although I very rarely wear it. All my watches are inexpensive ... The most expensive watch I have bought is a Seiko SNK809 K2 ..It was £80 GBP (Around $100 USD) ... It is an EPIC watch and is Automatic also. It lasts 44 Hours from fully charged and only gains/losses around 3 Seconds a day. The engineering on this watch is unbelievable for the money I paid for it.

I just want to point out that comparing the packaging is moot because there are instances of fake watches being placed in genuine packages. On another note, I'm surprised there are that many people who didn't know the F91's light is absolute trash. Seriously, I think Casio just puts it there for giggles.

The fake manufacturers nowadays can easily imitate the "casi0" trick. The dead giveaway is always the print quality, print always looks poor on the fakes. They can't simply copy casio's level of printing.

As someone else has mentioned if you hold the bottom right button (button A I believe) for 3 seconds it should say “casi0”. A lot of the fakes don’t have this. Would be good to know.

So this is a 10 minute video comparing 2 identical watches? Congratulations, great content!

The best way to tell for sure is to take the back off. But the backs are a pretty good giveaway. The screws on fakes are different. But I avoid those watches in general, due to only having three buttons. You have to go through the adjust screen as a part of regular use. That is like having to pull out the crown on a 3-hander to check the date. Too much chance of messing up the time. Any Casio with four buttons is great -- like the W800 or W96. Also, in the middle of the night, any illumination is going to be better than the lume on any three-hand watch. Those get very dark after 1/2 hour.

I will buy both the watches. The A168 will look good in the office and the other for regular use

I have a casio Fw91...I love it for the resine wrist band and the horrible luminescent hehe, also is classic...it reminds me I'm not perfect and there's always room for improvement, and still become an icon.

Hey man. I don't know why your previous video has so many dislikes. I really loved both of them (this one more). Keep doing this kind of comparisons. Greetings from Perú :)

Looks real. F91's are made in multiple countries so try to compare them.

These go for about $17 in the US now, and you can now get slightly better models for a buck or two less. This watch goes for a few extra dollars simply because it's the biggest-selling Casio digital watch of all time.

People creating a counterfeit watch under $10 still boggles my mind.

Not making accusations but if you look at the little red triangles the ones on the older watch look smaller. Personally I like the watch I think they are great and get the job done

I will tell you sweet surprise. If you are sleeping and you are long time at dark and than wake up you will probably appreciate the original F-91W which will not burn your eye.

I DON'T understand why someone would make a fake Casio F91W considering the price. It's almost more expensive to buy the fake then real one

When you showed the faces of the watch side by side, it was obvious that it was going to be genuine. The U is either missing or larger on fakes, and the print quality is never quite the same. Indeed they just have terrible illumination. Always did. Whether it's really become worse with revisions, or whether it's batch sourcing variation, i don't know. There's actually plenty of room on the PCB and around the display that they could have wedged a second LED in at the opposite side of the display, and maybe even a diffuser to go all the way around, but well they didn't, and i don't see them running out of routing space necessarily either. There's even people just modding a second LED in with a little magnet wire, which improves the usability by a lot. A substantial reason not to get the 168 is that the metal is obviously just plated on and doesn't wear well with time, revealing first copper undercoat and then plastic, and it can flake off as well at the boundary between copper and plastic. The F-105 is a watch which seems identical to 168 but with black plastic chassis left natural. Unfortunately it tends to get more expensive than 168.

Recently i bought a second-hand f91w,but it is totaly brand new without case.I tried my best and could't prove it fake or not.😅(Btw price is 3 dollars including shipping )

Re: A168... but I WANT the crappy light. That's what makes it so charmingly retro. Every time I see a mod to fix the light on the F-91W I die a little inside. LEAVE IT ALONE!

This video was a lot of fun to watch. I won’t spoil it but my initial guess was right. 👍

i also bought a casio f91w few years back i lost that watch but after watching this video that watch was fake since it had a orange light instead of green light

It's a great watch but terrible lum. You are so underrated damn

I thought I might brought a fake one, lucky I got from amazon prime lol

i have genuine and fake f-91w n ya know what the actual alarm beep (noise) is much louder on the fake... but overall the genuine is clearer screen at angles...the genuine also has a darker blue around its screen not so bright red WR and biggest give away is the little U underneath the resist..fakes are lot bigger...Plus back cover genuine is brushed horizontally fakes virtically in most cases i might add,, but overall the fakes are scarily getting good even in a super budget retro casio..My fake cost less than £5 and still going strong....Great review

both looks original to me and yes, I love my f91w, but the backlight sucks :D

The looks don't matter bud, I like the old one than the silver one.

F91w is excellent and the light works fine.

Bro both your watches are fake...they dont have serial numbers printed on them. Mine has serial numbers😅

its way simpler than do all that things, to see if its original , simple press the right button ( alarm ) 5 seconds, and the display with show CASIo , then you know its the real one or not

Have you held the PM/24H button on both to see if they both say Casio?

Dunno why Casio don't place the light at the bottom or top, but at the side...

I laugh hard when people are scared that they might've gotten a fake f91w, when these things are freaking so cheap to buy, it is HILARIOUS! Guys, it's not a damn ROLEX! Calm the frick DOWN! 🤣 Goodness, gracious, they act like they are spending their life's savings on this watch. Are they 9 years old? Possibly! 🤣 I bought a Skmei 1222 watch for $15 near 2 years ago. Yes, it is big and silly looking, but guess what? The light on it is clear and I can change the color to sky blue, dark blue, purple, yellow, white, yellow, light green, dark green and red. Why is that a big deal to me? Because when I wake at night and do not want to destroy my night vision, I like using the red light to see the time. Freaking Chinese companies like Skmei selling watches with actual valuable use for $15, but CASIO - the huge, multimillion dollar company - could not even make the light on this f91 show up on both sides? Really, no excuse at all. It is pathetic! 🤣

is there a Electro Luminescence Casio with the regular rubber band?

Thanks for the video!

The screws on the back plate on the fakes are phillips head, the genuine ones are a combi screw, and will take a phillips head or slotted head screwdriver. Both those watches have the legit screws. Also, the word CASIO on the metal buckle on the strap is legit on both watches. The fakes use the wrong font. Also, because CASIO is a Japanese company, the fakes usually have 'Made in Japan' stamped on the back plate, they were only made in Japan in the early days, most commonly now made elsewhere due to lower wage costs.

Casio F105W using EL backlight btw

Why on earth would someone fake a 10 $ watch? To sell it for 9$ and become rich?

They are both original

Vernier Caliper ???

What happens when you hold the right button on the fake one?

They probably are same. Definitely . Though one says N7 and the other N12 on the letters. Probably nothing.

Plot twist: They’re both fake

I have this watch. Amazon delivered me this watch for Rs 895 in India.

how does the green light turn in

Screen is greener on original

Put in new batteries on both & retest the lights.🧐

Plot twist it’s still fake lol

Mi sorprende che ci si occupi di produrre copie contraffatte di orologi che sono già economicissimi e di qualità cmq , ma questo mondo è proprio strano

An entertaining video but you could of just held down the button on the right of the watches and if it says CAS lo its real.

Check battery

You just have to press and hold the right button! And if you see the word Casio appears on the watch screen it’s original!! Why bother with all these comparisons!!!

Ads off

Thr band on the A168 pulls the hairs of my wrist so fucking bad.

if you press and hold the lower right button a legit casio will display "Casio" on the display.

what is fake?

How much does this watch cost in the States?

can tell off the bat they are both real

Si nos destapa para verificar cual es el falso muy mala comparación

I need video on watch 3263 casio

All of them are original mahn

Not to get on a government watch list, but the fools would be better off faking a $10 bill and quit messing with Casio.

Casio made in china is fake or real pls tell me bro

Ok I am gonna buy the 2 dollar fake ones..

easiest way to know ? put it through water fake one water can enter easily 😊

i have casio mades malayesia its good or no?

Dude gotta fire your barber.😆

جميلة جدا ساعة كاسيو

Hi ! What is Your Instagram ???

چطوری مو قشنگ😊

your jordans are fake

You are so unenlightened. The crappy light of the f-91w is a desirable feature. I would not get the f-91w if the light is good.
