Firstly it is only water <em>resistant<\/em>, which means you can splash it when you wash your hands but you can&#8217;t shower or swim while wearing it. Secondly the illumination on it is incredibly poor, unless you get the angle just right it&#8217;s really hard to see the numbers when you are bleary eyed in the middle of the night. Of course the F-91W is cheap, and that is probably the reason for it&#8217;s popularity however for just a small amount more you can own what I consider to be a far superior watch with no drawbacks. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B002U0KHPG\/cooltools-20\">W-86<\/a> ($22) has the exact same features of the F-91W, it&#8217;s also incredibly cheap but it offers a backlit screen that is super clear to read from almost any angle at a quick glance but isn&#8217;t bright enough to dazzle at night. It is also waterproof, maybe not for diving, but you can wear it in the shower or go swimming with no fear. <\/p>\n<p>It comes with the standard rubber strap, which is fine, myself I prefer a NATO style strap for comfort, ironically the strap costs almost as much as the watch. I&#8217;ve got nicer watches, I&#8217;ve got really rugged watches but the watch I wear the most is this one, especially when I travel as it&#8217;s reliable, pretty tough, lightweight and most importantly of all I wouldn&#8217;t lose any sleep if I lost it or broke it, I would just replace it, honestly I&#8217;d be more annoyed at losing my nicely broken in and comfy strap. <\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best cheap watch <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34969"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34971,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34969\/revisions\/34971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
