One of these arrived on my doorstep today. I was realizing that I don't have a decent portable way to tell the time for long periods. Cellphones die in a few days, my AA-powered wall clock is hardly pocket-sized, and I haven't worn a watch in years. Seemed prudent to acquire. I hit up the Casio outlet on eBay, searched "digital alarm" and sorted by price. Bam, F91W. Buy it now, done and done. Then I started reading about its storied history! What a wild ride. If it's good enough for.... literally everyone from Presidents to terrorists... it's good enough for me.
