They are also pretty popular in the British army because they are, in many ways, the best watch available.
That said, they have a few limitations:
* The backlight is pretty weak
* The stopwatch tops out at 1 hour
* It needs batteries, as opposed to solar or kinetic charging (this is probably why the backlight is underpowered)
* It would be great if it had a compass.
- coayer 6y ago> The backlight is pretty weak The reason for this is because the LED is mounted facing directly up, not facing the display. I've seen some mods where they replace the LED with a side-facing and it's far better.
- goatinaboat 6y agoThey are also pretty popular in the British army Casio do a British Army G-shock now but I can’t imagine any actual soldier using it, it’s 2cm or more high and has features that will snag on anything. The F91w is very thin. It’s more marketed towards airsofters I reckon. https://g-shock.co.uk/mod https://g-shock.co.uk/mod
- mjlee 6y agoWhen I was in the navy I accumulated quite a few of them. One on my gas mask bag, one on my life vest belt, one on my diving bag etc. etc. A bunkmate thought it would be hilarious to set alarms on all of them to go off every 15 minutes while I was asleep and he was on watch.
