Next, I’m a little perplexed as to why Casio chose to include bio-based resin in the band, but not in the rest of the case. This is a fairly minor quibble, but if you’re going to go partway with the eco-friendly thing, why not go all the way? Then there was the drop test, measuring its resistance to repeated second-story falls. When the watch shrugged off these impacts, I strapped it to the business end of a trekking pole and strolled a few miles through the forest. Again, zero trouble apart from a few scratches on the mineral screen. But looks aren’t enough to vault the LF20W into the halls of Casio’s vaunted classics. First, I had to test its ability to stand up to pain. Enter the new LF20W (a super-clean reimagining of the 1985 AE-20W Twin-Graph), which pinged my radar in an Insta post about a week ago. It’s got a similar profile (37.8 × 33.7 × 8.6 mm) and its lightweight construction (23g) keeps with the F-91W’s, but the retro-futuristic look seems to be grabbing fans’ attention with both hands. To ensure that you have everything in view even in dark surroundings, the display of the watch is illuminated by a light-emitting diode at the touch of a button.
Additionally, the watches come with matching straps in plant-based bio-resins made from renewable organic materials. It’s a small yet meaningful step in the right direction, considering how much resin is used throughout Casio’s vast model lineup.
The time display can be set to 12- or 24-hour format. In 12-hour mode, there is a p in the display for the second half of the day, i.e. 12 noon to 11:59 p.m. And speaking of wrapping around an issue, the band itself poses a bit of a problem. Don’t get me wrong, the resin itself is comfortable, and I have no complaints as to its durability. But it’s actually fairly short, and I’m worried that folks with a large wrist size will find themselves squeezed beneath the last notch or two.

Not only did the watch suffer the daily hazards of work, chores, hikes, and bike rides, but it also endured several of my more rigorous tests.

The daily alarm, in which an acoustic signal sounds at the set time, reminds you of daily recurring events. This model has five independent alarms - especially convenient for taking medication on a daily basis or keeping regular appointments.And take a look at the way the lugs join the body. Because of the narrowness of the joint, swapping in another band (like, a NATO, perhaps) will result in something that looks almost comically skinny. Conclusion: Casio LF20W Review Firstly, there’s the display: bigger, bolder, and with an analogue face above the digital readout. It’s a look that recalls the cult-favourite AE1200WHD-1A World Timer, aka the “Casio Royale”, but with a cleaner, less cluttered aesthetic. Like the Royale, the new LF20W includes comprehensive world time functionality, with 31 time zones, in addition to the usual time, calendar, and chrono functions. Photo: Iknowwatches.com
For athletes and all those who want to know exactly: Elapsed time, split time and end time are measured with an accuracy of hundredths of a second. The measuring capacity of the watch lasts up to 24 hours. Arguably, the least useful screen is the constant 10-second pie chart in the upper right, though I did find myself using it as an easy way to mark the passage of small chunks of time. For those who want to know exactly: The countdown timer helps to remember special or recurring events by emitting an acoustic signal at the set time. The time can be set every second and up to 24 hours in advance.It measures a mere 35.2 x 38.2 x 8.5mm, weighs literally next to nothing (21 grams, to be precise), and even has a nominal 30 metres of water resistance. The diminutive everyman watch now comes in a range of colours, including the newest ones in summery translucent pastels. The numerals in this lower space are clearly defined, and the date window above remains nicely sectioned off, yet central. If desired, the key tones can be switched off with the mode button. After switching off, there is no longer a beep when switching from one function to the next. Set alarms or countdown timers are still active after switching off the key tones. And when compared to the sprightly Twin-Graph, the new watch is much lighter on the face graphics than its vintage inspiration.
