       @kev I&#39;m starting to think that Casio is silently supporting Fosstodon instance financially in exchange for &quot;organic&quot; ads :)

       @kev @ruari Actually, mine is a W-59, but it has the same functions (clock, alarm, hourly beep, stopwatch, green LED backlight).

       @kev @joel I instantly recognize the right one (almost identical to my current watch) and the one in the middle (used to own it like 3 interglacials ago). But what&#39;s the right one? Looks ugly as sh*t but I can appreciate the frontal location of buttons.

       @joel @xpil nooo it was the left one (the A100) that was she was wearing in Alien.The calc is the one from Back to The Future and the one on the right (F-84W) is the Japanese market version of the F-91W. Identical in terms on function, but it&#39;s more retro IMO.Agree with you, Xpil - not a fan of the A100 in the (faux)metal.

       @ruari I&#39;ve got the CA-53W on at the moment. I think that&#39;s my favourite.Really not a fan of the A100 in the flesh. Might send that back for a different colour.

       @joel because things look different IRL than they do in pictures. I like the look of it in the pictures. Doesn&#39;t work for me in the metal though.

       @xpil @kev @joel I like the left one better than the middle. It’s like new punk. Middle is corny.The right one is good, but I’m overall not into digital display.

       @greypilgrim @xpil @joel yeah, I can definitely see what you mean. It looks quite tacky in the flesh though. It’s the most expensive of the bunch too, at £50. Ill wear it a couple times, see if it grows on me.

       @jinxd @TritTriton @kev My daughter has an LA-20WH because she is so small that even an F-91W looks big on her. She always has that Casio hourly beep on (even at night when she sleeps). She can read the time fine (also analog) but forgets to looks at her watch and likes to be reminded of the passing of the hours.I have no idea how the school have not complained to me yet! 😉

       @kev Yeah they are great for kids who are young enough that they still look up to (and want to copy) their Dad. 😆These watches are *really* small. Plus they are still pretty solid and hard to break, which is obviously a big bonus. My daughters first watch was some cheap unbranded thing with an analog interface and she loved it but it died pretty fast. I have a lot more faith in this.P.S. Now she wants a Baby-G.@jinxd @TritTriton

       @cooper Just a small note and warning. The negative display on these is not the best for readability in low light and there is no backlight. For the reason alone I would stick with the CA53W-1 personally.@kev

       @cooper Styling aside a watch does need to actually tell you the time. With a G-Shock and other small negative display Casios they have good backlighting. So they sort of get away with it to an extent but the CA53Ws are basically the only Casio digitals left without any form of backlight at all. This means it just will just not be useable sometimes.The CA53W @kev has with a positive display OK IMHO. I wish it had a backlight but you can still read it even with just a little light.

       @cooper Styling aside a watch does need to actually tell you the time. With a G-Shock and other small negative display Casios they have good backlighting. So they sort of get away with it to an extent but the CA53Ws are basically the only Casio digitals left without any form of backlight at all. This means it just will just not be useable sometimes.The CA53W @kev has with a positive display is OK IMHO. I wish it had a backlight but you can still read it even with just a little light.
