Back when stuff was mostly built to last. When pride still existed. Now the alarm function is behind an app and subscription...
-
The 91fw is still made to this day though. I have 3 of the things myself. My favourite watch to wear
-
Got some for my kids, they love them.
-
Oh, well then. I just seen a quick mention of a year in the late 80's. Guessing they're still made just as good?

It's a Casio.

I read it as "casino" and was very intrigued on many levels.

I'm very active outdoors and have 6 Casios, one like the model here. I'd shit kittens if one actually leaked.
They're $10-$100 on eBay. Got one for $20 that shows the moon phase and tides.

11,000 meters
6,000 meters
5,000 meters
I'm not entirely sure of the application here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_diving
The deepest dive listed here is:
534 m (1,752 ft): COMEX Hydra 8 dives on hydreliox (February 1988 offshore Marseille, France).[2][4][10]
I guess you could build a submersible and put the watch on an arm outside the submersible or something.
-
Not that it's much closer to those insane watch depth limits, but saturation driving had a record of 700 meters or so.
-
It's an offering to Cthulhu.
-
This will go nicely with the Nokia 3310 we sent last year

I used to have one of those. Absolutely indestructible
-
My wristband snapped... So not completely.
-
Well yeah, the straps are junk. Zulu or NATO strap and you're set.
-
*incompletely indestructible, that is if you count the band as the watch. There's metal bands available if you want it to be tougher

I wish the article didn't skip the part about how they filled it up with mineral oil that sounds cool.
They do mention there's lots of guides. I couldn't find a wikihow, but here's a forum link https://www.thewatchsite.com/threads/superlative-oil-filled-f-91wthe-making-of-the-superlative-oil-filled-casio-f-91.8273/
