Summary
In this video, the creator from "DIJAMIN - Ulasan dan Tutorial" provides a detailed review of the Casio F105W digital watch, which is closely related to the F91W model but boasts a superior backlight. The watch's five standout features include an electroluminescence backlight, water resistance up to 30 meters, a stopwatch, an alarm, and a 7-year battery life using the CR2016 battery. Comparing it with the F91W, it is slightly larger and heavier due to the EL backlight. The review also includes a comparison of the module and casing differences between the two models.

00:00 - 00:30 In this review we will talk a digital watch,
which still related with the F91W, but the backlight is better, namely Casio F105W Welcome back, I hope we are all always healthy In my opinion, the 5 main features of this watch are: Electroluminescence (EL) Backlight Water Resist (apx) 30M) Stopwatch, Alarm 7 Years Battery (CR2016) For details I will include in the description

Apparently, this thickness is a consequence of using the EL backlight on the clock module.
Well, special for all of you my good friends,
01:00 - 01:30 we look together, this watch's module compared with F91W's On the left is F91W, and on the right F105W,
Now we open the backplate And this is how the module looks, Series 593 and Series 3298, Batteries are same , but the size of the module looks bigger on the F105. Now, let's try to remove the module from the case.
01:30 - 02:00 Like this, the white one is F91W, the black one is F105W, it looks bigger overall and this is the backlight, the LED,

Now we put it back together again . And yes, just a note, the 3298 module (or some call it the 1275 series) is the
02:30 - 03:00 same as the one used in the A168W model,

size 18mm, just like F91W and F94W
To remove, here're side holes,
03:30 - 04:00 we need to push the pins following the direction of the arrows on the strap Strap made from PUR Resin, the model is also exactly the same as the F91W This is the top, and this is the inside.
