Casio is bringing back the classic digital aesthetic with a modern twist. The new F-B100W model keeps the iconic look of the 1989 original while integrating modern tracking technology. For many, the constant need to charge a smartwatch is a hassle. This new release avoids that entirely by offering a battery life of roughly two years.
The device includes an accelerometer to track your daily step count. You can set personal targets between 1,000 and 50,000 steps, with a visual graph on the screen showing your progress. When the watch connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth, it handles automatic time adjustment and offers a find-my-phone function. These additions provide a simple way to stay active without the distractions often found in premium fitness devices.
While this model includes a stopwatch with memory for 200 records and five daily alarms, it intentionally leaves out GPS and heart-rate sensors. This is not meant to be a full-fledged computer for your wrist. Instead, it serves as a lightweight and reliable alternative for users who prioritize battery longevity and basic activity tracking over constant notifications.
At 8.8mm thick and weighing 26g, the watch maintains the slim profile that made the classic series famous. The strap includes ventilation slots for comfort during activity. The F-B100W is priced at £55 and is currently available through the official Casio website. It represents a shift toward functional, accessible technology for those who want connectivity without the complexity of modern smartwatches.
