Auto time adjustment
The watch connects to the phone and sets itself. On its own it keeps ±15 seconds per month; linked, that drift stops mattering.
Casio Classic Casio digital watch
The F-B100W-1A puts an accelerometer and Bluetooth® Low Energy inside the resin case Casio has been making since the eighties. It draws your step graph on the LCD, sets its own time from your phone, and still runs about two years on a coin cell.

01 — What you are looking at
Casio did not restyle the F-series to make room for the electronics. The accelerometer, the radio and the graph all had to fit inside a case that still measures 41.9 × 38.1 × 8.8 mm and weighs 26 grams. Four clues are visible without touching it.
As Casio lists it
02 — Try it
A working rendition of the F-B100W-1A: the real segment layout, the real mode order, the real button map. It keeps your actual time. Press MODE to walk from timekeeping through the stopwatch, the lap memory, the countdown timer, dual time and the alarms — or hold ADJUST and set it.
03 — Step tracking
Most of what a step counter does happens silently. On this watch it happens on the glass: a progress bar you can read at a glance, and an hourly graph that shows you where the day actually went.
Set a target anywhere from 1,000 to 50,000 steps in 1,000-step increments. The dot-matrix strip above the time fills from 0 to 100 as you close it.
The step reminder tells you when your step count is too low, by display and beep. It is the whole of the coaching, and it is enough.
The display range runs from 0 to 999,999 steps. The counter is not the limit; you are.
04 — Mobile Link
This is the part of a connected watch that usually gets oversold, so here is the whole of it — Casio's published list on the left, and the things this specification does not mention on the right.
Source: Casio specification, “Smartphone Link/App Connectivity Features”.
These are absences from Casio's published feature list, not measured limitations. The watch is a step counter and a clock that talks to an app.
The watch connects to the phone and sets itself. On its own it keeps ±15 seconds per month; linked, that drift stops mattering.
Alarms, world time city, step goal and the rest, configured in the app instead of by holding a button and counting flashes.
The app receives the step counts and other data the watch measures and keeps a daily record of them.
The SEARCH button at the lower right makes the paired phone announce itself.
05 — Power
Approximately two years of battery life on a single CR2016 — the flat 20 mm coin cell you can buy in a supermarket. That is roughly 730 nights on which nothing needs to be plugged in, and zero charge cycles across the life of the cell.
06 — Lineage
Casio is explicit about it: the outer face of the F-B100W's band carries the same design as the band of the F-91W. This is not a watch that borrows the look of the classic digitals. It is one of them, with a radio in it.
“The design carries forward the classic digital watch style that has remained a standard since the 1980s. The simple angular case, suited to a wide range of people and occasions, is paired with a large digital LCD for multifunction display.”
07 — Close up
Casio's own photography, at the size it deserves. Open any frame to zoom into the case chamfer, the button legends, the slits in the band and the segments in the LCD.
08 — Specification
Every figure Casio publishes for the F-B100W-1A, complete and unedited — with a search box, so you can find the one you came for.
