80:08 SQUAD!
🙄I have to do it now, too.
It's also the reference number for the Bergeon caseback opener tool, the "Rubber Ball".
I had an '84 in '84. I was the coolest guy in my chair at school.
So nice to see you reviewing these. Watch snobs often scoff at these but they're so fun and they have a value of their own in the watch world. I have this exact one too :)
And as someone who still loves "Back to the Future", it's a movie star, right there on Mcfly's wrist
Watch snobs are exactly what they are, just snobs. They are not real watch enthusiasts. A true watch enthusiast do not alienate this hobby to anyone but are encouraging and appreciative.
I believe that CA-53W is the oldest Casio watch in production. Since 1984 it always has been on sale. You've got to respect that.
The poster child for "if it ain't broke don't fix it" lol. Now that retro future '80s design language looks even better in my opinion.
@@manoflego123 It's one of those designs that age well, especially since anyone can pick them up cheap anywhere, and Casio probably has the production on these watches so dialed in by now it's hard to find a dud
Wasn't that the F-91W?
1989
This is a blast from the past!
It's only a Databank if it stores phone numbers. This is just a calculator watch. Still cool.
Nope it was always referred to as a Databank Model
@@brandonar868 maybe, could also be a labeling error though because it obviously ISN'T a databank 🤦
For me, a databank has to be the metal version. Just reminds me what I desperately wanted when I was young and didn't get. So, I was delighted to add to my collection. Still wear it with a smile.
Even though I swapped straps on mine, that resin strap is one of the softest things I've ever felt. I even cut it down from 20>18mm so I could use it with my modded F-91W for a bit.
The older Casio databanks (not the version you can get now) were extraordinary. World time. Timer. Stopwatch. Telememo and a schedule. This means that you could set an alarm and type in a multi character message that would scroll across the dot matrix display section of the screen. There was also a two week ahead display at the top of the screen. Each day was split into two sections and of you had a note typed in for a particular day the display would be filled in depending on the am and pm. Even by today’s standards with what smart watches can do that was amazing!
I saved up when I was 12 and bought one of these . The little tactile buttons were fun
That watch was discontinued a couple years ago by Casio, but can still be purchased 'used' on Amazon for around $3,600.00. Yup that's right. It's not considered a super rare watch, so if you got the wad, grab the watch. 👍😎
Got the blue looks great with jeans and a t shirt. And it’s light as a feather 🪶. Amazing job Casio
Beautiful watch, worn by the legend Dwight Schrute ❤️
aswell as walter white, raj koothrappali and marty mcfly❤️
Just a small disclaimer about water resistance:
The meters do not refer to the immersion depth, but refers to the static atmospheric pressure used in the ISO 2281 waterproof test.
Read the wiki about how the ISO 2281 test is conducted - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Resistant_mark
Literally the type of watch i'm wearing at this moment (specifically the DBC-611, I have both the stainless steel and gold versions). Never thought it would be something I would see on this channel since they're quite niche.
I am a proud Databank owner.
I keep numbers and some other stuff in it.
Cool watch.
LOL at the thumbnail!
Another great video! I absolutely agree - ever watch nerd needs one of these calculator watches! I own the classic CA-53W in black with the regular display, and it is easily my favourite digital watch
Remember Johnny Carson showing a calculator watch that he was wearing on The Tonight Show. First one I had ever seen. It was gold and he had to use a stylus to punch in the numbers. He said it cost like $3600!
Lol! It was more like $36, and nowadays can be bought from Amazon for around $86. I recently bought the silver version of that watch for $54 and while it's pretty, it's about as useful as tits on a boar hog. I'm waiting on the latest updated version the watch. Has a huge screen, databank, 10 year battery, easy press buttons and looks very good on the wrist.
Always liked them as a kid!... And still do :-)
I lusted for a DB in the 80's. Couldn't afford one. Now I own a new stainless steel Casio DBC-611-1DF for $42.00
Thank you for the thumbnail alone. Silly, immature and greatly appreciated! Lol
It was tricky but I put my CA-53W onto a NATO and love it.
It’s not a databank it doesn’t hold any phone numbers that would be a different model…love the videos keep up the good work.
www.casio.com/products/watches/databank/ca53w-1 complain to Casio.
It really annoys me that Casio calls this very basic calculator watch a “Databank” when it stores no data. The Databanks are, in my mind, those other Casio watches. Irritating.
@@thetimeteller low res photo on their site and all.
Technically, you are inputting data into it and it stores it long enough to return an answer. 🤷🏽♂️
Planning to get one of these when we're allowed to travel again. Seems really useful currency conversions while shopping!
As long as it's not an FW-91, you fine.
Been traveling lol, things are open.
Let's get one thing straight. The only reason you buy this is for the nostalgia. Don't expect to use the functions...
@@jsistheshadow oh... I havent had the experience of having a calculator watch. Thanks for the heads up.
Casio, please. Just put a backlight on this one. I know that the Databank exists but this one is the shit! Come on!
I absolutely love mine. I wear it on a weekly basis. As for water resistance I accidentally put mine through the washing machine (I still don’t know how it got there…) and it came through fine.
It’s the most fun watch I own
I love the data bank when I was goin to high school all metal with phone number saving
Ordered using the link. Damn you. I’ve always wanted the original worn in back to the future. Never seen this blue version and for $20 can’t afford not to own it.
Got one the black one about a month ago. Lovin it.
🤣🤣🤣 These always bring out the kid in us!
I had one of these as a kid. Loved it, but at some point some buttons stopped working or started sticking. I imagine they fixed that by now. That was back around ‘85 or so.
You're the best Jory! I had a calculator watch in the early 80's. I have no idea what happened to it. I do enjoy my black Casioak now and will never part with it. Lol.
Trying to find the lug width on this one but can't seem to find a website that actually lists it. Would the Vario 18mm straps for the AE1200 fit this model? If so, that could look pretty slick.
It's a 20mm lug width, so you'd have a lot of wiggle room with 18mm. I'd recommend getting a new 20mm strap for that, or some spacers to keep the strap from sliding around. Conversely you'd need to cut off a millimeter from each side of this watch's strap to use it with an AE1200 (it's a good look though, trust me).
@@manoflego123 Thanks for the info! That helps a ton!
I picked one up in Walmart for $20 bucks and I think it is great! Unfortunately, the low light visibility is just a deal breaker for me.
It’s a CALCULATOR WATCH!! Not a data bank watch 😩
www.casio.com/products/watches/databank/ca53w-1 complain to Casio.
@@thetimeteller You might also have said something like:"Even though Casio CALLS it a databank, it actually isn't, it's just a calculator" 🤦
Love the design of this series. Unfortunately, the lack of light and the low visibility of the screen make this one a no-go for me.
I wonder if these were also affordable back in the day
Blue looks good! Got the black one. Love it!
It needs to be upgraded to have a TIME TELLER MODE!!! GREAT VID!!
Oh not only do I have one but it's the touch screen illuminater one!
Nice! I had a similar watch growing up in the 80’s. Mine was all black though. Cool watch!
I just bought my first Casio a few days ago, G Shock GA-2110
I got the classis black variant a month ago (again, I used to have one years ago) and it keeps jumping on my wrist every evening at least for a while. As for backsides - apart from the main one - lack of backlight, I would add one more - timer would be great. But still this is a great watch for the price!
Being it’s called databank, is it possible to actually save data to it?
On this model I think not, but there are Casio Databanks that you can save data on
This is not a Databank model.
James, you’re wrong. According to Casio it is: www.casio.com/products/watches/databank/ca53w-1
@@thetimeteller I grew up with Casios and the calculator watch without phone number/memo saving capability was not in the Databank line until fairly recently. (I am 45 so recent could be ten years.) It certainly was not in the Databank line in 1980s because I had a lot of the first Databank watches. There was, however, a Databank watch that used the same case and layout as the scientific calculator watch with the row of buttons above the screen. I still own a Casio CA-60 which is one of three calculator watch models that were launched around 1980 that did not require a stylus to press the calculator buttons. Anyway, I know you won't budge from this and that is okay. It's just a watch.
It’s all good, James! Casio moving watches around within different product lines is totally believable these days (just look at what Seiko is doing)
I just go by what the spec sheets say- so if there’s some discrepancy here, it’s with Casio and their website. 🤣🤘
I have the origanal and I had it for more the. 5 years and I never changed the battery and my friend recently got me the new one white version for xmas
I had the current iteration for a few years, but my daughter talked me into giving it to her several years ago, knowing full well that there was no way I would say "no". I told her I'd get her one, but no... she wanted mine, and nothing else would do.
I also had one in the 80s that lasted me all six years of Jr High School and High School, but I have no idea what happened to it after High School. I also had another calculator watch that I wore occasionally, which was either a Nelsonic or Innovative Time, but I'm leaning more toward the latter. This one was also a black resin housing and band, was roughly the same size but it had fewer, larger, white buttons, with four pushers, two on each side. This one similarly fell off the face of the Earth shortly after graduation. I still may get another CA-53, just to have one, but I'll probably get one of the other Data Banks first, but I'm not sure which one yet.
I’ve got a classic CA-53W that I occasionally wear to nerd gatherings and to work. I’ve even done a firearm count at work with it.
I like these IF you can get them with positive displays.
Got the original one ordered!
Ordered a databank today 🥋😎🤔🤩
Cool watch, great episode. 🏴👍
Definitely a fun watch to say the very least. Always came in clutch on those no calculator math tests lol
Just make sure to wear it on the inside of your wrist
No, everyone needs this watch. Better than any smart watch
I have one and so does my daughter.
80085!!! Love my databank!
This is just a calculator watch, not a databank!
According to Casio, you’re wrong: www.casio.com/products/watches/databank/ca53w-1
@@thetimeteller I know, I looked it up too! Elsewhere they said it was part of the Datank family of watches. That's a bit more correct. But you can't really store anything in it like in a true Databank watch which I also have.
@@thetimeteller Boo! This was not part of the Databank line for decades but now Casio seems to have lumped their calculator watch into the line when it does not keep phone numbers or memos.
Always wanted one of these but never got one :( maybe I can get one now
The thumbnail 😂
8008 I see you're a man of culture
The Databank is the ORIGINAL smartwatch!
9:22 Ha Mr
C will swim that deep.😃
Never buy this watch in stores like target or Walmart.
Only buy it through Amazon or directly from Casio.
I’ve had 5 over the timespan of 6 years, the first one I bought wats on Amazon and had no problems until the bracelet snapped. The 2nd 3rd and 4th all ran fast, 2 came from Walmart and 1 came from target (eventually the bracelet snapped an them). The 5th one that I have now, is the white negative addition, I got it from the Casio website and have no problems and it’s not a second off or fast.
i don't think this is actually a "databank" ... just a calculator watch with zero data storage

@@thetimeteller - hahaha... Casio. All the databanks i own have the word "databank" printed on the watch. :)
1983+6= 1989 (your birth year)
2021-1989= 32 years difference.
Ur 32 years old!
U bought your jlc reverso as a 30th birthday gift... so u have had your reverso for 2 years
I wear mine when I’m working on cars, because it’s so slim.
That negative screen is garbage
Totally agree
Oh boy!
Bro I was in Honduras i was 8 year old my mon bought. One of this watch silver in 97 frrrr
I had one of those back in the day. '80s?
I used to have a zeon tech one years ago it was better than a casio in some ways even had password protection
Wow! has it really been 4 years?
CA 53 is not a Databank lmao
It is according to Casio’s website lol: www.casio.com/products/watches/databank/ca53w-1
I was going to post the same thing! It’s a calculator but that doesn’t make it a data bank. I had a stainless one as a teenager and you could store names and phone numbers! 👍😜
@@garylawton230 write to Casio and correct them. 🤣🤘
@@thetimeteller I’ll leave that to you! 😜👍
@@thetimeteller we nerds better sue them ... charge for grievances 🤓
That's not a databank it is a calculator watch, hence it's namesake CA-53W. A databank has a model name for example DBC-60 which means databank and calculator..
I am so sorry to have to inform you of this, but you need to bone up on the Casio Calculator Watch lineup. There is a MAJOR difference between the simple, basic calculator watch you examined in this video, and what is truly a Data Bank/Calculator watch. The Data Bank allows entry of names and phone number of up to 25 of your closest enemies or friends. That cheap little thing you had in your can't do that, and, does not even have a night light! All it is good for is a gift for pre teen kids who like "cool stuff". Now, how's about trying to know more about what you're talking about, Festus? 😅
