Recommended: Casio W-86

Crowned the best cheap digital watch in our Casio F-91W alternatives tournament, the hardy W-86 outdid all others, offering the best strap, backlight, and water resistance of any model in its class. While it’s marginally larger than the fabled F-91, the W-86 remains in a similarly small ballpark, making it a brilliant day-to-day or work watch for those after something understated.

If you’re after an upgrade to your Casio F-91, or are just looking to replace it, I’d seriously consider picking up one of these instead…you may be surprised.
