Casio F-84w Watches (Japan-Market-Only)
I went to Japan and one of the very first things I sought out was the Casio F-84w, of which I purchased two.
It's a lot like the F-91w but smaller, lacks the button bumps, and has a skinnier bracelet. It's actually the older model, despite many people seeing it as a "clone" of the 91.
The main draw is that it is a Japan market exclusive. Sure, it's 2023 and you can order it to have it shipped by individuals in Japan but it's cooler when you get it while there 🙂. These two watches have a story now and I know watch-geeks love watch-stories 🙂.
I plan to put a ridiculous-looking nato strap on one so it'll fit onto my 7.75/8" wrists. The other, I'll keep with the factory band.
I bet some Casio fans will find this fun and maybe a few other people as well :)
Don Quijote, the everything store in Japan, to the rescue :)
1490 yen a piece, since there was a slight sale. ($11-ish)

I am also lost and all I can offer is to be lost with you.
Oooo! Update... I'm a bit dehydrated but I did manage to get onto my wrist without changing the strap 🙂 It's... uh... close... LOL
Love them!
Don Quijote shops are great fun. Nice watch - I didn’t realise it was Japan only

Pretty damn awesome store 🙂 I also just learned there's apparently Don Quijote in California and Hawaii.
Though they seem to be branded Marukai https://www.donki.com/en/store/shop_list.php?pref=50

Nice. I checked and there’s none in the UK ☹

Well, California and Hawaii are nearly other countries from Michigan (distance-wise)
