It has to be extremely dark though, or maybe mine has a worse than normal backlight. Other models are much better, it's just the F-91W.

The fact that Casio is well aware that the backlight is just terrible, but haven't fixed it in close to 40 years is hilarious and just makes me love it even more.

Oh yeah I have good blinds and live in an area with medium light pollution.

If you have so much ambient light… just look at the clock and read the numbers.
