Casio has revealed the F-B100W, a vintage-inspired digital watch featuring Bluetooth connectivity, step tracking, and a more premium metal button design, signalling a strategic move into the connected fitness segment without abandoning its classic aesthetic.
Casio’s F-B100W has now appeared in hands-on footage from a Japanese watch channel, giving a clearer view of the company’s new Bluetooth digital model beyond its product renders. The most notable addition is the step counter display, shown as a segmented bar across the top of the screen, marked from 0 to 100 and filling as activity increases. The watch went on sale on 7 August for 8,800 yen, or about 48 euros, and quickly sold out in Casio’s own online shop. Notebookcheck reported that the launch generated immediate demand, while the new footage offers the first proper look at the watch in use.
The video also confirms that Casio has used metal rather than resin for the four buttons. That gives the F-B100W a more finished appearance than the classic F-91W, whose overall shape it closely follows. The case remains resin, with the familiar stepped rectangular profile, and the strap also stays true to Casio’s long-running formula, using slotted resin with the company’s established patterned design. The presentation box, meanwhile, appears to have a textured finish that is more elaborate than the usual basic packaging for entry-level digital watches.
The model fits into a wider push by Casio into retro-styled fitness wearables. According to T3, the F-B100W adds Bluetooth connectivity, an accelerometer, step logging, inactivity reminders, time synchronisation through the Casio Watches app, world time settings and a phone-finder function, while keeping core digital-watch tools such as a stopwatch, timer and five alarms. T3 also reported a UK price of £55, with black and green versions listed, and said the watch weighs 26g, is 8.8mm thick and uses a CR2016 battery rated for about two years. Earlier reporting had suggested a summer 2026 launch and a price band of roughly $70 to $100, underlining how Casio is extending its vintage formula with modest connected features rather than turning the F-series into a full smartwatch.
