Too bad it doesn't support the F105, aka "F91 with a usable light".

Too bad it doesn't support the F105, aka "F91 with a usable light".
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoCasio is phasing out electroluminescent backlighting and going back to a single LED, so I would buy an F105 while you still can. I've heard it said it was to improve battery life and longevity but I've never had a problem with either one.
- homebrewer 2y agoIf they update F91W to include better backlight, then good riddance. Their newer models (like A700W) have single-LED backlight, and it's excellent (probably better than EL, but I haven't used EL in a while). The watch is very thin too, unlike EL models.
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoMy son has the newer LED model, and the EL looks better. The EL watch is equally thin too.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoBefore EL they were using incandescent bulbs. So they're going forward to LED.
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoAhh! So there is some improvement at least.
- ozuly 2y agoI fixed this on my A158 (basically a silver F91) by replacing the backlight spreader. Super simple mod and only costs about $12. Granted that's close to the cost of the watch itself. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1448973768/back-light-spreader-for-casio-f-91w-a https://www.etsy.com/listing/1448973768/back-light-spreader-...
