CasioMemory Calculator Databank Watch

My adult son was thrilled with this retro gift! Its well made and it works very well. He wears it everyday to work. Great buy!

I’ll start off by addressing the features that this watch because I see some confusion in other reviews and in the questions section.This watch and as far as I am aware every Data Bank model DOSE NOT have a timer. You do get a stop watch function, a time function and a dual time function.Obviously the two major features of this model are the actual data bank where you can store phone numbers and names you get 25 storage points and the name can be up to eight charters long. You can store any phone number in various formats…you may want to use the dashes (- key) to make you nations format fit evenly and not have an odd digit out.The calculator function is pretty self explanatory and useful there is also a currency conversion calculator which is interesting but probably useless to most people.You get several language options as well. That would be the language the day is displayed in and the alphabetical characters in the data bank mode.Functionally of this watch is excellent on the time display mode in addition to the time you also have the day in three letters, the date in month-day format and the year in full 4 digit display. That is very useful for people who often need the day and date for their job. I suppose the full year is also useful for January were people tend to forget the year has changed.The watch has an alarm function and you can set up to 5 with snooze options. You can set an alarm for daily monthly or once a year….say for an important date possibly a very useful function for many people though probably best to set the annual reminder a few days before the actual day for a particularly important date.I have seen people complain about getting confused by the instruction manuals for more complex Casios. Really they do a good job of explaining things you may need to read it a few times and actually perform the function. Failing that you can find tutorials on YouTube.Design wise I think this watch has an interesting aesthetic. Personally I feel that the silver color is more refined and the gold tone my look tacky on the wrong wearer but will look good on the right person. It’s definitely a watch that will either fit with the wearer or they’ll stand out for the wrong reason.I find this watch is a good way to enjoy technology but also separate yourself from being completely engrossed. It’s nice to have a watch that actually tells time and can perform other functions and is a separate thing from say a smartphone or smart watch all of which from a visual standpoint are very dull and uninteresting looking. Additionally the watch is a separate way to store phone numbers just in case.Overall an interesting useful watch that has an interesting look to it. I also own the modern pattern Data Bank DBC-32 and another classic pattern Data Bank the CA-53W. Features wise the DBC-32 has the same functionality as this version (DBC-611). The CA-53W has less features no data bank and no light but is a great choice as a beater.

Awesome watch I got a lot of compliments

Gratos recuerdos.

The only thing that keeps this from being another 5-star Casio watch is the terrible light they put on it. I can appreciate a “vintage” look, but give me today’s technology for practical purposes.

Este reloj es cómodo y tiene un diseño muy cool.Lo llevo a todas partes, definitivamente Casio es sinónimo de calidad.

I was excited to recieve this. A blast from the past. However when it arrived, I was immediately suprised and disappointed by how small and flimsy this watch and its parts are. The band seems to be sized for a woman but also very deleicate. Maybe not metal? The watch itself was much smaller than I expected. Really it feels like a toy that would come from a gumball machine.Is this a legit casio product? or a knockoff??On top of all the the band as deleicate as it is. was kinked on arrival. No doubt it required little pressure to cause this damage.
