I wouldn't have been surprised to find out my F-91W was counterfeit! But I just went and watched a "30 ways to tell if your Casio watch is fake" video on YouTube and it looks like my watch is legitimate. I probably wasn't careful enough with the strap, it just disintegrated at one of the connections to the face.

Is there any way you can link up the exact video? I'd like to examine my Casio.

  Yes, it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNnkDyGgvGk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNnkDyGgvGk

  I don't have a video link handy, but this British mod dude has a very brief summary: Guide.Zenn22.Shop (redirects to a steam site I think). He has many modded F91W's on eBay. I have one "fake" F91W, it's actally SKMEI branded and keeps fine time. Not sure I believe his claim that the fakes are so inaccurate, but maybe.

    How do you like SKMEI? Backlight must be way better than F91W.

      I got $10 skmei 1278, casio w96 copy, for two years, backlight is great, countdown, water resistant enough for swimming, +10sec a month, screen could have better viewing angles, bought replacement strap from Ali.

> it just disintegrated at one of the connections to the face That's a very common problem on the inexpensive Casios. When it happened to my watch I found that new watch cost less than a new strap.

  I found the same, though I couldn't bring myself to buy another watch just because it was cheaper. So I bought some NATO straps and have been really happy with them. Perfect watch for me now.
