F-91W is the watch I wear today.

Actually, my favorite wristwatch - or rather the one I wore for 25 years or so - was a W-71. Unfortunately, you can't buy these except as vintage second-hand. I still don't understand why that is... I always felt it a more "aesthetically-balanced" version of the F-91W; plus it had 4 buttons rather than 3, which makes sense given the structure both watches. But I lost my W-71 while moving out of my last apartment, so... now I've had to settle on the F-91W. Ah well.




I don't wear watches as I'm always either at my computer or have my phone with me, but if I did wear a watch, I would probably go with something like the F-91W. Images of it bring on a nice retro nostalgia, and I appreciate its blatant function over flair aesthetic.


Umm, perhaps you haven't seen the W-71:

not exactly flair aesthetic.
