Target Audience and Availability:
F-84W: This model was originally designed for the Japanese market. It tends to be slightly harder to find and might fetch a higher price point due to its “cult classic” status. It appeals to enthusiasts seeking a vintage aesthetic and a smaller, slimmer fit.
F-91W: It is widely available and generally more affordable. It caters to a broader audience who prioritize functionality and affordability. Its larger size and bolder design might resonate with those who prefer a more prominent wrist presence.
