Product Description

Digital with quartz movement with day and date Plastic resin and glass strap and case WR 50mt Dimensions: case 34x9mm Stopwatch, Light, Alarm, Timer


From the manufacturer

The CASIO Collection — Beautifully retro

The cult following for the shape, function and colour of the first CASIO digital watch from the 1980s is more up-to-date than ever thanks to the watches in the retro Collection. With warm shades of gold, cool stainless steel and black plastic, these timeless design icons can be combined perfectly with modern style. It's good to know that some things never change.

Display illumination

The watch dial or display illuminates at the touch of a button, helping you to see everything, even in absolute darkness.

Alarm Function

The daily alarm reminds you about recurring events with an acoustic signal at the time you have set.

Waterproof up to 5 bar

Taking a shower or bath with this watch is not a problem. It has been tested for water resistance up to 5 bar/50 metres.

Bueno, bonito y barato
ligeramente más grande que el f91w, es perfecto para el uso diario e ideal para quienes no tenemos muñecas muy gruesas. El contraste es ligeramente inferior al que tiene el f91w, pero es casi imperceptible la diferencia

3.0 out of 5 stars Good use for a year, then the strap broke
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020
This is an awesome watch—used it as my daily beater to work, gym, everything. Unfortunately the band broke 13 months later. Was looking at band replacements and it looks like it’s nearly the same as the cost of the watch itself. Will probably just replace it whole cloth.

Feels like I could’ve gotten similar length of use out of a $10-$15 watch. Not exactly sure the premium of $25 was worth it. Nice color and was good while it lasted though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Casio W86 ¿El verdadero sucesor del F91W?
Reviewed in Mexico on December 28, 2023
Este nuevo W86 no solo mantiene el diseño clásico y reconocible del F91W, sino que también incorpora mejoras significativas en términos de funcionalidad, durabilidad y estética.

El Casio W86 presenta un diseño retro inspirado en los relojes Casio de los años 80 y 90, lo que lo convierte en un modelo atractivo para nostálgicos de aquella época y fans de los relojes vintage.

La caja del W86 mide aproximadamente 37.5 mm de ancho, 33.5 mm de largo y 9.5 mm de grosor, lo que la convierte en una opción de tamaño adecuado tanto para muñecas grandes como pequeñas.

Es de resina, con una forma angular y cuadrada, y su pantalla digital está enmarcada por texto en verde que indica “Electro Luminescence” e “Illuminator”.

La disposición de los botones es similar a la del F91W, con botones de luz y modo en el lado derecho y el botón de inicio/parada en el lado izquierdo.

Esta caja resiste el agua hasta 50 metros, lo que significa que puede soportar actividades acuáticas de poca profundidad, como nadar, sin ningún problema. Sin embargo, no se recomienda para buceo o actividades acuáticas de alta presión.

La fuente y los números se han rediseñado ligeramente en comparación con el F91W, ofreciendo una apariencia más moderna y fácil de leer.

Además cuenta con una luz electroluminescente que proporciona una iluminación más brillante y uniforme en comparación con la luz del F91W.

En resumen, el W86 se ha ganado su reputación como el verdadero sucesor del F91W, gracias a su diseño mejorado, funciones prácticas y durabilidad mejorada.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy F91w "successor?"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2023
OK, so here's yet another review of a budget priced Casio watch.

The W-86-1VQES was originally perceived as a successor to the legendary durable, inexpensive to buy and much loved F91w, but here we are in 2023, nearly 2024, looking at the end of W-86 production, with the F91w still being available from a great many outlets in just as many countries, but it is effectively not looking likely to be replaced.
So we can assume that the successor must be "better" than the older timepiece in some ways, or can we?

In my view, the W-86-1VQES has some updates, not least of which is a superbly effective, full screen back-light compared to the dear old F91's tiny green LED that hides in a corner of the display.

Then there's the rated water resistance; fifty metres / five atmospheres compared to the F91w's thirty metres / three atmospheres.

This is probably a less significant upgrade, yet one that - although unarguably well worth having - is more about giving the consumer a greater level of confidence in the newer design of the W-86-1VQES, though many users of the earlier model report having worn their 91w at far greater depths than the stated thirty metres.
So it's reasonable to believe that the W-86-1VQES can be given a good old bath before its case leaks.
So far, both watches are looking like equally practical, budget friendly choices.

What about the size of the case?
Well the "newer kid on the block" is very slightly larger in case size than its illustrious ancestor, but only slightly, so anyone whose F91 has reached the end of its long life need have no concerns about whether the W-86-1VQES will fit on their wrist.
The image showing the W-86-1VQES along by the F91w on my tiny (5⅜ inch) wrist sees the newly acquired watch on the thinnest bit of that skinny wrist, the old favourite on a place with an extra ⅝ or so of circumference, were the pair to swap places, the fit would be nigh enough identical, the other two photos show the brace of Casio laid flat on my tabletop, the only really noticeable difference being that the resin strap on new watch has slots moulded into the case ends of both sections of its strap, this is, at a guess, intended to reduce moisture from perspiration since the moisture can escape outwards in use.

Having worn both of the illustrated watches in turn when I washed today's breakfast dishes, I can vouch for the greater ease with which the watchstrap on the W-86-1VQES cleared the water from my skin. It's a minor upgrade, but a clever one on the designer's part as making any huge changes to the newer piece would be unlikely to have increased the practicality.

So I have no actual negatives to bring to this comparative review of the W-86-1VQES vs its sister watch from the same manufacturer.

I prefer, but only slightly, the appearance of the new watch, but that's hardly an objective point and most users, whether buying the W86 to replace a worn out F91 or, as with me, to buy the newer one before it ends its production run.

Why, Casio, oh why, take the W86 off the menu, yet continue to produce the older, more widely recognised timepiece?

No, I don't get it either, which makes my conclusion a simple one to reach:

Buy a W86 whether or not you already have a much loved, slightly care worn example of its sister watch in your collection.

There is no downside to either watch, but buying the W-86-1VQES before even Amazon's vast stock no longer has a place for the watch.
It's very likeable and will be extremely unlikely to die before its battery, its resin strap or its well proven module fails.

The battery in the oldest of my F91s has been in there for around six years so far and shows no sign of giving up its job and going into retirement, the straps will eventually degrade and turn to a crumbly mess with a buckle and tang attached, so buy another watch if this happens. Lug width of both is 18mm and alternative straps at that size are commonly available.

In an ideal world, both models would continue to be manufactured for ever, but if your older model dies and you fancy a slight, but worthwhile upgrade, then get on to Amazon now and grab yourself a W-86 before they're all sold out.

Thanks for staying with the long review, I'm just a little bit in love with the budget watches that Casio make so well but would nonetheless have been using harsh words had this W86 been anything other than a clear winner in its own right and a great stocking filler for anyone who still doesn't own anything Casio.

A merry Christmas to you all,

Take Care

Reviewed in Italy on May 26, 2019
IL prodotto è arrivato in 1 giorno ( come previsto) con spedizione AMAZON PRIME, ormai una garanzia di qualità e rapidità!!!. L‘ imballaggio era perfetto e non presentava alcuna imperfezione o rottura. Appena aperto , il prodotto è conforme con quanto descritto dal rivenditore , ovvero un CASIO in resina modello W-86-1VQES con un piccolo manuale ( il quale non risulta indispensabile, in quanto il settaggio dell’orologio è molto intuitivo e lo si fa in pochissimi istanti!!) L orologio ha design molto accattivante/vintage anni 80/90, l ‘illuminazione notturna molto particolare è sul colore TURCHESE e cosa non da poco realmente illumina durante la notte, per quanto riguarda la sveglia se ne può regolare solo una ed ha un tono gradevole e potente quanto basta per svegliarsi. L ‘orologio al polso è estremamente leggero, inoltre l ho testato in piscina e quindi è pure perfettamente impermeabile. In conclusione il prodotto ha un rapporto qualità/prezzo straordinario considerando il prezzo veramente eccezionale , (è pur sempre un CASIO!!) ,sul mercato è difficile reperire qualcosa di tanto migliore a quel prezzo.!! Sono estremamente soddisfatto dell’acquisto, le 5 stelle se le merita realmente tutte , inoltre lo STRAconsiglio sicuramente, anche come idea regalo. Spero che questa mia recensione possa essere stata d’aiuto a qualcuno.
