Today I bought the Casio A1100B-1, a metal version of the A100 series.
The A100 series is a re-release of the F-100 from the '70s, also known as the Alien watch. This is because Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley wore two F-100 stuck together in Aliens, in what was supposed to be a futuristic watch at the time.
First impressions: it looks and feels good, but at this price point the watch lacks some basic features:
- no 24h time display - I mean wtf?! - even the F-91W can do it
- chronometer can only count up to tenths of a second - no real biggie, but I think Casio is really trying to go back to the '70s with this one
- the bracelet is one step above the ones in the A168W / A158W series, but man, folded links at this price? Casio must be crazy.

Casio fan. I also like some Swatch models. I'm only collecting quartz watches. And audio CDs.
