Maybe the smallest watch I have
More than a month ago I bought four plastic digital watches - I wanted something that I can wear when I go to my friends who's got children. I want some cheap but good looking. So when I saw a facebook post about these watches I bought them quickly and I paid cc 30 USD for them.
I figured it out fast that maybe two of them are useable, this hillariously looking Comfy and a small Alba. Of course, the Alba was really dirty, and even after a cleaning by a watchmaker the plastic pushers aren't working well. (If I'd like to set the time I need to take the watch out of the case.) Maybe in the future I'll search for another case which has better pushers. But the movement is functioning well, and the display is clearly visible - more visible than my F-91W. (The Y799 movement was used in Lorus and Seiko watches as well in the 80s/90s.)
Luckily I have a really small wrist so this watch doesn't disappear when I'm wearing it, but I think this is the smallest one in my collection. Even compare the F-91W it looks small. But it's also a perfect summer watch for me, a comfortable almost vintage piece.
Vintage watch rookie.
Wow, the F91w looks like an absolute monster next to the Alba. Interesting that the strap design is very similar.
What kind of forced perspective trickery have you done to make it look perfectly current and average sized on the wrist?

Both are new Casio straps. The Alba's original strap was so bad that I needed to change to a new one.

I have a 6 inch wrist, that's the trick. :D
And I think the watch looks bigger with this wider strap.
