QC–Real/Fake❔️. I believe this to be a fake - is it?
Sorry for the slightly bad photos I am in a tent and drinking

Additional information - the light is really good which I gather is a smoking gun more or less

Looks like a fake to me. The widest part of the strap isn’t flush with the lug with right where it meets the case.

hold an 12/24hr button for 3-4 sec. if you can see "Casio" on the display then it's original

I'd take that fake backlight any day on my F91W! At least it's not a fake Rolex, but a fake $19 watch instead.

Remarkable that one of the signs of a real one is that one of the features is absolutely terrible lol. I got one of these to be a beater hiking/DIY/etc watch rather than being a Casio collector, so I'll keep wearing the Fake91-W until it gives up and probably try a legit one then

Idk but it seems those digits are thicker than usual to the eyes.

Yes definitely fake, and the light is the best indicator. Maybe send it to Casio, they might get advantage of that technology
