Casio is phasing out electroluminescent backlighting and going back to a single LED, so I would buy an F105 while you still can. I've heard it said it was to improve battery life and longevity but I've never had a problem with either one.


Before EL they were using incandescent bulbs. So they're going forward to LED.


Ahh! So there is some improvement at least.


If they update F91W to include better backlight, then good riddance. Their newer models (like A700W) have single-LED backlight, and it's excellent (probably better than EL, but I haven't used EL in a while). The watch is very thin too, unlike EL models.


My son has the newer LED model, and the EL looks better. The EL watch is equally thin too.
