CASIO F-91w and NATO Straps - WHY?

- Is there room on CZcams for 1 more video about this classic watch?
The Casio F-91w is not only the worlds best selling and most famous watch, making a big comeback via the mod community, EDC and the love of all things retro. BUT I would be willing to bet that its the watch with the most CZcams videos!
It costs $10 so its a cheap watch to buy, modify, smash, drown, paint or just wear and make a video... Hell I did it!

I feel like the fact that people are fuckin' around and slappin' NATO straps and what not on 'em is a good thing, strong modding communities help build longevity for a product, keeps it interesting at the very least. and while you think it is ugly, it does keep a classic from being discontinued and forgotten.
I have no issues with modding or NATO straps - modding these and others is great. But you don’t need to put a NATO strap on this watch for it to keep selling. And it does look fugly
@@Tim2pointohno you have to install a good leather strap to it 😁 Taste is always subjective. I like the look in original shape and with different straps - including NATO straps. Because the price is ridiculously low for such a nice watch I personally like to see it used with different applications and mods. In my opinion a hand made leather bund strap most likely has been only mix which was aesthetically just ridiculous. For electronic mods the price is nice to start mod training, but of course nowadays there are lots of cheap electronic DIY kits available.
Primary reason I can think of is the f91w is used by British Army due to its ruggedness and durability. The NATO provides a higher security of not losing the watch as well. Therefore it is a cheap way to have a field watch.
Adding more parts doesn’t make it more secure
@@madiioneill329 NATO straps are more secure than normal watch straps because the NATO straps go underneath the watch face and if a pin for the strap breaks the watch won’t fall off it would still be secure

It's not your cup of tea, but don't tell people how to live their lives
Hey - Its just CZcams buddy. I'm not making laws and rules for people to live thier lives by. And guess what, no one has to listen to me!
But hey thanks for stopping by. Please subscribe and leave many more comments.
Don’t tell us what to do Tim
Rolex are for weak simps.
Yea wtf, this is a free country.
Anyone see the hypocrisy of this comment?
It definitely doesn't look cohesive with the straight shape of the nato strap, but the look has grown on me. It looks kinda funky and personalized which i fw.
And you are welcome to do what you like - thanks for watching my video and listening to my opinion
Get some 18-to-20mm JaysAndKays adapters paired with a two-piece NATO strap and believe me, it looks amazing.
You’re not my supervisor!
Ok then….
This video is full of irony, sarcasm and fanboy baiting. It’s brilliant 🎉😂🙌🏼
😂😂😂
The stock rubber strap makes my skin feel all weird if I don’t take it off at night (which I only sporadically remember to do) or if I work up a sweat wearing it tbh
It’s a crap strap. The nato looks crap on it too. Why is this so popular?? 😂
Different stroke for different folk. I don't like it but if people happy, well great for them
I have a big collection of F-91Ws, and I just couldn't resist putting a pair of 18-to20mm JayAndKays adapters on my F-91WM-3A, alongside a green two piece NATO strap from the same brand. It simply looks amazing - I agree that it would look horrible without the adapters.
Pimped!!! 😆
I own a f91 w have done for years, love it and am also obsessed with casio and have a large and still growing collection. I have worn one watch with a nato strap and dont actually like how they feel, how much faffing around with folding it over is required. I also dont like how they look on casios I feel like it draws attention to the out of place watch strap over the watch itself
You hate NATO straps cause you probably been seeing a lot of bad examples. If the hooded plastic lugs are filed down a the proper 18 mm with a matching dial/case colour is chosen NATO looks better than the cheap plastic band. NATO was actually creating by the British military defense it’s is known for it’s durability, and they’re very comfortable I always NATO my Casio watches
Hi Perry. I don’t mind NATO straps on the right watch. I’ve put them on a couple of different watches including using the adapters you mention. And I totally understand the benefits and appreciate they can also look very smart indeed. But you are 100% right, I have seen some shocking examples and I hate seeing a digital with wide tapered lugs simply stuck on a NATO a fraction of the width and it being called a “mod” or worse “upgrade”...
This is what I don’t want to see and I think people should STOP doing immediately.. 😂
Thanks for commenting my friend.
Function over form when you're crawling through mud cosmetics aren't an issue keeping the watch is.
If you want function - you should be getting something more durable.
@@Tim2pointoh Osama wore these because they’re cheap and all watches break with enough wear. I also have a screenshot of a mineral oil filled one on an underwater ROV at like 14,000 ft depth working fine. Covert NATO straps can hide lock picks. There’s a microsd attachment baseplate. Most functional by far 😂
I agree with your argument and respect your opinion, but I think it is worthwhile for everyone to change the look of their watches according to their taste or needs, be it a simple Casio F-91 or even a Rolex.
Fair 🙏🏼
The strap broke after about a year and a half of beating the crap out of my f105w. I just made a strap out of some old nylon backpack straps and the Casio hardware and back in business. I struggle with buying a nato strap on it when I can just buy a brand new one, but I hate to waste a perfectly good watch with a 7 year battery life.
I don’t disagree with anyone points that you make - I still think the nato strap looks terrible on this watch
Just push the pins out and put a two-piece 18 mm band on...love the Opinel knife...
cheers man!
My reason for getting NATO straps is simple.
The original resin one disintegrated and the NATO strap costed me only a dollar. Outlasted the resin one 2 years back.
Which is also where I went through military service and it came out just fine. No idea what magic chinesium crap is going on in this thing but that $1 is doing wonders
Fair enough. I’m not arguing anyone’s reasoning, I’m just saying it looks crap on a NATO
@@Tim2pointoh I think that’s quite dependent on the wearer. Different wrist sizes, accessories and fashions look good with it.
@@ProjectTaker we’re going to have to disagree. But the world is full of different opinions. I simply don’t like the way it looks.
I agree no Natos! Keep it classic
Thank you. They are just odd looking no matter the reason people use them, my argument is that they just look odd
There is a blue one with a see thru strap that I think looks good in this blue and so will swap the black strap to it but not a nato
Wow, you're taking a hit from NATO lovers. It's all good I prefer the original strap but I'm sure I'm older and less active with mine. The military guys ( I think) are using NATO straps because the original ones can break easier. But like I said, it's all good. Casios have a lot of followers. I remember (when I was younger) putting a resin diver band on a Timex Easy Reader and everyone else thought it was dumb. I liked it. But looking back...it was dumb. Thanks for sharing.
It’s just a bit of fun 😂 BUT I do think they look a bit silly even if they do perform a perfectly good job.
To be honest I found the plastic straps really uncomfortable was so glad when they snaped and I could put a nato on 😅
Each to his own 😂
@@Tim2pointoh Aren't you going to tell him to stop it?
if you want nato, put adapter 18mm to 20mm.
This watch is too small for a NATO in my opinion. I dont want to put a nato on there
"Don't do this because I personally don't like it. For unexplained reasons other than arbitrary aesthetic preferences. I don't allow it. That's the video guys. I just tell people what to do without argument or authority what so ever after talking about what this video will not be about for half of its actual length. I just think that everyone has to adhere to my sense of aesthetic. That's all. Like and subscribe."
- some narcissistic midwit on this godforsaken platform
Hey thanks. 😂
You know you don’t have to listen to me don’t you ? 😘🙄
But I absolutely, totally NEED a Nato strap on my f91W. 😭
Good luck with that dude
I put a milanese mesh on mine ahaha. Anyone gives me guff "michael schumacher had this watch glued to his formula 1 steering wheel to time his laps it deserves a little respect"
Why not?
''Cause I don't like it''
True story
I agree with you and the resin band looks right with this cheap watch. I’ve seen people shave the lugs down and it looks okay but not really better.
I know why people do it but it looks crap
Osama wore these because they’re cheap and all watches break with enough wear. I also have a screenshot of a mineral oil filled one on an underwater ROV at like 14,000 ft depth working fine. Covert NATO straps can hide lock picks. There’s a microsd attachment baseplate. Most functional by far 😂
Sounds like you know things 😜
A nylon strap is $4 lol and these watches are going for $20 now this video aged like milk
Sure the economy has changed maybe something to do with a war (I do t find that funny) and millions of deaths due to Covid (also not funny).
I guess you knew these things and would never have made such a video?
Besides this my main point is that a nylon / nato strap on the F91W looks stupid.
@@Tim2pointoh maybe that would have been a better title 😂
Who are you to say what looks "trash" or not? taste is relative and honestly the "nato straps" are way more secure than the rubber one, even if someone is sport practicing or in some sort of action it surely wouldn't brake because it's a more resilient material.
Taste is personal and I'm expressing my personal taste and getting plenty of hits on the video and comments too - thank you!
No longer fit my wrists.
💪🏼
I have to use NATO straps on most watches because nothing from factory is ever big enough to fit - I have an 8.5" wrist.
Valid reason - but they look shite on this watch
Anyone know if there's a way around broken lugs? I have a functional f91w, that i can't wear because of that
I'd use cyanoacrylate superglue if it's just a small crack. Make sure the spot is clean, before applying the glue. Less is usually more.
It's an easy way to add color and flavor to a basic looking watch.
Don’t argue with you - just think it looks rubbish.. sorry
We're not a wasteful society, so just throw away the perfectly good watch and go buy a new one
Hi I don’t have a problem with recycling or repairing - I just think NATO straps on this watch look ok crap….
I fully agree. nato bracelet looks horrible
Classic watch, had one in the day and a G-shock
I think the nato will be great for my 8yo sons wrist. So hard finding a quality watch for kids and think the F91 will be the ticket.
Cool points too
Im allergic to the rubber, so nato was the solution :)
Mee too! This is the reason
Get a silicone strap ! NATO fabric can be stiff chafe . NATO straps are over rated and over hyped imo
True
Bro woke up and decided to speak facts
😜👍🏼
use an adapter in your f91 if you want to use a nato strap, it will look better.
I don’t want to use a nato
I work out and the original strap is not long enough for my wrist anymore 😢
Don’t work out with this watch on then?
I'm about to put a NATO strap on my W86. Why? Because, after a year of using it for racquet sports, the tip of the buckle tongue has snapped off. I part paid for the watch with Nectar points, meaning it cost me £12. From a cost perspective, the watch is a write off, since a new strap will cost me at least £10. Whilst the original strap is designed for the watch, I'll be replacing it again in a year, so I will buy a black 18mm NATO strap with a steel buckle instead.
What I'd actually like is for Casio to put a metal buckle on the watch and charge an extra quid to prevent this wastage.
As far as putting NATO straps on these watches for the hell of it goes, yes I think it's a daft idea.
I think nato straps would look rubbish on my f91w as well. I suppose people do this because NATO straps last longer than the straps the f91w comes with (though to be fair, the straps on my f91w tore off after 5-6 years, and I wear the thing every single day; replaced it with the same kind of straps, paid 4e for it).
I understand the practical reasons - but it looks rubbish. And I think some people do it cos they think it’s cool! 😝
I agree with you 👍👍
I added a Seiko nylon strap and it works perfectly
I used to put them on perlons, so I am in the clear.
I agree with you. I love the COMFORTABLE resin straps & prefer leaving my Casios box stock.
Boom 👊🏼
a new subber
when i saw this vedio not even starting i sub you then i un sub you cause you said i am not a watch guy !
then you said i love casio thses days i was like yayyyy hes the man he deserve like and sub
i like it and i am going to see it
A nato strap will not fit the f-91w.
Exactly!
I think they look ridiculous with a nato strap..
I agree
I really like how NATO looks on my F-91w
That’s cool - it’s not for me however
I can't find a black replacement strap for my F91W, do you have any trusted ones?
Have you thought of a NATO? 🫣
@@Tim2pointohKinda, Just don’t know which one!!
Disagree, but thanks for the video.
Thanks for the thanks. This platform is all about sharing opinions and having discussions
For NATO straps, I had to order two F-84W's from Japan. F-91W doesn't look cool on it due to the lug construction, the proper installation would require an adapter, as with most G-Shocks. F-84W, on the other hand, has much more traditional lugs perfectly suitable for 18mm NATO strap.
Why? Because not everyone likes this resin or metal caseback constantly contacting their skin. Also, resin straps are prone to degradation and breaking, which can never happen on a nylon NATO which can also be interchanged much easier.
Hi - I know why people want to use them - but they just look ridiculous on the F91W
@@ramonzimmermann3995 My video, my opinion.. 🖕
I agree that the nato strap fits the f84 better than the f91 because of the exposed lugs. I find the nato straps more comfortable than the supplied straps. I’m going to get a a158 next (swapping out the straps to nato obviously) - the lug shape is similar to the F84
I changed to nato because the bloody OG strap is too short…. Nothing wrong with nato on this watch….u can don’t like it but please keep it to yourself
Wow! I think I’m just as entitled to air my opinion on this as you are to put a NATO strap on yours. But thanks for watching 👍🏼
Cause it doesn’t fit large wrists with the stock strap. Not everybody has nice dainty wrists .
I have 7 inch wrists and I agree the strap is poor / I still think the nato strap looks shit on this watch though
You've been to tropics? The rubber strap gets hot when Im wearing this under the sun, nato is better.
Watch still looks odd with a nato
Cool video. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Uh, resin is sweaty and itchy
What about a all black nato strap it might look alright
Its the shape of the watch face on a straight strap
A fabric strap is more comfortable than the plastic one.
I don’t disagree with you at all, but the strap doesn’t suit this in my opinion
Skmei 1335?
Uh?
you are honest guy.
congratulations you got a new subscriber 😊
Thanks dude 🙏🏼
I agree with you it does look bad
Thank you
8" wrists.
Animal!
100% NATO straps are hidious. Take the worlds most "Walmarty" watch, and make it even cheaper looking by adding a seatbelt. Abhorrent.
That’s exactly what I should have said
You're completely right! NATO strap looks awful on this iconic watch! Only resin strap nothing else! 👍⌚🔥
Amen 🙏🏼
What about the metal straps mod? Do you approve?
Yes - infact I've seen a mod with an inverted display that I really want to make.
My issue with the Nato straps is they look odd.
The issue I’ve had with metal straps/bracelets is that they pinch and pull arm hair (though they look the best).
I love the stock plastic/resin strap.
You can heat them up with a hair dryer to mold them exactly to your wrist, then run under cold water to set. Perfect fit, lightweight. ;)
I put a leather strap on mine
Maybe I'll have a look at that. A thin one might look good
You aré wrong
Why ? because the stock straps are too short.
Your opinion is rubbish. But hey, that's jsut my opinion.
My opinion is my opinion. Opinions can’t be rubbish - that makes no sense. And your reason for using a nato is 100% valid - but doesn’t stop them looking shit on this watch.
Cringe
You’re right. It’s terrible. Thanks for stopping by….
What a rubbish of a video mate 😂
Thanks - not really worried about your opinion though to be honest. 🙏🏼👍🏼👊🏼
