About Fobio Watches

Fobio Watches was created with one simple goal: to make timekeeping easier, safer, and more reliable for nurses on the job.

I’m a student nurse based in Ireland, and like many others on placement, I was severely underwhelmed with the options of fob watches and was devastated I would have to give my Casio up due to infection prevention policy . Between infection control policies, constant hand hygiene, and the reality of busy wards, checking the time shouldn’t be another challenge.

That’s where Fobio began.

Each Fobio watch starts as the iconic Casio F91-W — chosen for its legendary reliability, accuracy, and durability. Every watch is personally modified by me into a practical fob watch, making it suitable for clinical use while keeping everything nurses love about the original design.

No gimmicks. No unnecessary features. Just a clear, dependable watch you can rely on during long shifts.

Why the Casio F91-W?

Because it works — shift after shift.

• Reliable and accurate

• Lightweight

• Easy to read at a glance

• Proven durability in demanding environments

It’s a classic for a reason.

Made in Ireland

All Fobio Watches are hand-converted in Ireland with care and attention to detail. Whether you’re a student nurse on placement or an experienced healthcare professional, every watch is prepared with real clinical use in mind.

More Than Just a Watch

Fobio is about supporting nurses with practical tools that make the job just a little bit easier.

Thanks for supporting a student-run business and trusting Fobio Watches to be part of your shift.
