Review -

Wanted this for ages and it does not disappoint. I love negative displays and the backlight eradicates any issues of reading it. Looks awesome and feels great on too, if slightly small on my 7 inch wrist, Nice and cheap and looks super cool and retro. I love it. Easy to adjust metal clasp and no special tools required to adjust. My only negative is its very east to scratch the watch face

Nice watch but disappointed at the fact there's no option to display the time in 24 hour mode.

Trivia -

What Casio watch was worn in Alien?

F-100

Casio Vintage A100 is an interpretation of the F-100 model worn by Ripley in the Alien movie from 1979. And it really brings out the amazing futuristic retro feeling. At the time, simple digital watches (not only) from Casio were chart-topping.
