That's the last time I'll be wearing that watch on a plane!

What a BS charge! :facepalm:
It's the highest selling watch in the world FFS and it's like 20 bucks so
of cause people from poorer countries wear 'em (along with 100s of 1000s of Americans).
I sell a dozen of them a week and buy 'em a carton (60) at a time.

You can make a timer just as easily from any digi alarm so why pick on the F91W?
Honestly, if they are going to trump up charges to hold people they need to think of better ones than that!

That watch is butt ugly and probably better suited for a timing device on an explosive charge than anyone's wrist. I suspect the watch is so common because they are being purchased for pennies by the pallet load. It looks like you can find them online for around $5. This would lead to a lot of them escaping into the wild.

There are some nice Casios out there. I'm just saying.

It's cheap, it's tough and it has all the functions you need, that's why it's the biggest selling watch in the world by a huge margin. The $5 ones are reps BTW.

Kind of makes me want to buy one just to have it. Makes a good convo at a bar.

I owned one as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing ever! It lasted years until I lost it. Certainly a tough watch.

I find it very bizarre that they would copy a $5/$10 watch. WTF

If you're going for Taliban Chic may I suggest you forgo the Casio F-91W and opt instead for the Cemtex C-4?

Same here. Col, send one my way...

(sans c4 please)

But the C4 adds so much excitement when it's delivered to your door by a bevy of lads from DHS and the FBI. They have all these cool guns to show you up close and all.

Anything less than 15 dollars or so is a rep but I wouldn't be buying one on eBay as most of them are reps cheap or not.
