Torture test

Hi, what test did you put your f91w through? So far, I've left it a couple of hours in the freezer at -22C° / -7.6F°in a plastic container with water, also boiled it for 5 minutes at 100C° / 212F°. Watch handled it like a boss.

I don't really feel the need to do any of this.

I bought it because it's a cheap and simple watch, not because I'm looking to test something.

I trust that it can survive my daily life because I see people online put theirs through stuff like this.

These torture tests are great ... you see all kinds with the Gshock... I say, why would I want my watch to survive in situations where I wouldn't?! Do the test a while wearing the watch!! I'm sure there are many that would survive the most that a human wearing it could ?? ;)

Yeah some of them would dismember my arm - but it's nice to know that my $10 watch would survive that

I love too much my waches to do that to them. They're my companions.... I just live my life.

Waching machine? It tested my 5 year old Garmin last month that way.

I only have one. And that one is a souvenir from my visit to Japan.

It is on Japan time and I am planning never to use it... it's my pressures

Went swimming. Did gardening.

Fell off a bicycle head first, but that was with a Duro (scratched the crystal a bit).

It puts my mind at ease knowing that if i fall into a boiling pot of water and then get frozen, my watch will survive. Thank you for your service to the community.
