- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoI think EL uses less current than an incandescent, which is what the F-91W has. Anyway, the battery life always lasts longer than the band for me. Years. I replace it when the band tears, which is before the battery dies.
- somat 4y agoIs it incandescent!? I would have expected an led, or at least a process improvement where it was replaced by an led.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoIt’s still an incandescent, unfortunately. If they changed it to an LED, it might be bright enough to be useful.
- icybox 4y agoAllegedly, it's LED now: 'The small light bulb was replaced by a LED diode, but the intensity of the tired firefly remained' https://www.hodinky-365.com/blog/casio-f-91w-review https://www.hodinky-365.com/blog/casio-f-91w-review I wear F-91W every day and FWIW, the light is adequate to see time at night.
