The Casio F-91W doesn’t account for the year, it showed today’s date as Thursday, March 1st.


That's more of a design decision than a bug. It's intentional to make the product cheaper. The manual does mention it.


Wow, you're right.

I noticed this too and clicked this thread wondering if it would show up! Still an awesome watch.


Same with my colleagues most recent top model Samsung Galaxy Watch :]


Odd, mine is showing the right date.


Are you sure? My F91W doesn't even ask for year in settings. How would have it known it is a leap year or not.

Some other models (not F91W) does track year.


I was responding to the claim about the Samsung Watch not showing the right date, I unfortunately have never owned the older kinds of "smartwatches" :)


Are they using a third party watch face? My Galaxy Watch 4 has no issues.


I have a custom watch face on my GW4 and it's showing the 29th


OK on my Watch4 Classic FWIW.


I just looked at my watch and indeed the date is wrong. Thanks!


Thank you so much for the reminder, that would have screwed me up today :)
