The 1980 Casio F-10 is historically significant as Casio’s very first mass-market digital watch wrapped entirely in a resin case.

It laid the exact engineering foundation for the iconic, globally ubiquitous F-91W.

The Casio F-10 is a highly sought-after, ultra-rare vintage digital watch released in 1980.

Originally retailing for just $6.95, this JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) model featured a simple resin case, standard digital timekeeping (time, day, and date), and a module 155. Today, New-Old-Stock (NOS) pieces are rare collector's items and can command loads of money when available

🛠️ Core Specifications & Module 155
  • Module: Powered by the vintage Casio Module 155.
  • Case: Lightweight black resin with a matching integrated plastic resin strap.
  • Dimensions: Ultra-slim profile compared to the bulky steel digital watches of the late 1970s.
  • Accuracy: Rated at ±30 seconds per month under normal temperatures.
  • Battery: Originally powered by a BR2016 (or modern CR2016) lithium coin cell, yielding a massive 5-year battery life. 
🕒 Unique UI: The Indicator Line
Unlike modern digital watches that display text like "MO" or "TU" directly on the digital screen, the F-10 features a distinct dash indicator layout:
  1. The days of the week (SU M T W T F S) are printed directly onto the fixed glass crystal face above the LCD panel.
  2. A small, physical liquid crystal dash (➖) appears on the top row of the screen.
  3. This dash moves horizontally day by day, physically pointing upward to label the correct printed day.
🎛️ Functions & Controls
The watch operates on a highly minimalist interface using no front buttons and only side-recessed clickers: 
  • Time Display: Displays hours, minutes, seconds, and an AM/PM indicator.
  • Calendar: Displays month, date, and day of the week via the indicator line.
  • Calendar System: Includes a basic auto-calendar programmed to account for 28 days in February (requires manual adjustment on leap years).
