After nuclear armageddon, only cockroaches and Casio watches will survive.
I have three Casio Calulator watches and they are wicked. I was a child at school in the 90s and the coolest kids had the Casio remote control watch, I remember the teacher wheeling in the tv/video and my class mate (with his Casio remote watch) changing the channels rapidly and the whole class laughing, the teacher had to call the tech guy to take a look, best day in school ever. I tried to buy one on ebay but it went over £112 :(
donne that too ! also raised hyper high the volume of dozens of tv threw a shop window in the middle of the night ;)
I had one in school back in the mid 80s. I remember it beeping when I'd press the buttons so I made sure not to use it much in class. ;P
They had a TV REMOTE WATCH?! That's awesome!!! 😆
I bought it at 2011. And now after 10 years i still using it as my daily watch
I have a DBC-610 that I bought in the mid-80s as a student. Quite pricey at the time, but still going strong. Not bad for a 30+ year old electronic device.
" if you had a calculator watch you were the coolest kid on the playground, I didn't have a calculator watch" LOVE YOUR VIDS
😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣
I just bought one after seeing them a MILLION years ago & it’s bloody awesome!!!🤪😎
I've had several Casio Calculators and still have one. These are absolute classic digital watches and still produced and popular.
I would love to have a Casio Databank again. Mine in school was black with a flat keypad that had both numbers and letters. You could store a series of phone numbers. Admittedly, I used it to help me on multiple choice tests when we went over the test beforehand.
My brother gave me a stainless steel DBC-32 one as a gift quite a few years ago. Unfortunately, water got into it. So, I took it apart, removed the battery, and let it sit in a Ziploc bag with 2 of those desiccant packets that you can get with some electronics. It sat in storage for a long time like this. Out of sheer curiosity, I took it out tonight and popped in a new battery. It's not even the right kind of battery - it takes CR 2025 batteries, but I don't currently have any with me. Instead, I put in a CR 2032 battery since it has the same diameter but is only slightly thicker, and both are 3 volts. Lo and behold, it's working again! These things are indestructible... I'll actually get the right battery for it, but for now, I'm just going to wear it.
You forgot one of the best features of having a calculator watch! lol You can set the time with the keypad!
Brother you are the only one who inform us about currency exchange function nobody inform before nice informative video thanks a lot.
For sure. Now to figure out how to use it.
Casio's became an addiction for me very quickly. Haha!
This watch is my definition for smartwatch
Sir you are the best who explained all the things i needed to know about this watch! Nobody even said that this watch has an auto back light before, thanks!
I had one of those when I was a teenager student and it seemed to me the holy grail. Now with cellular phones it lacks of sense except for sentimental reasons, good memories when one had his whole life ahead.... By the way, greetings from the antipodes, Spain.
Antipodes-Αντιποδες-Oposite legs
Just ordered the metal version cant wait
CA 53 is my favorite. Was worn in one of my favorite movies by a character
Classic stuff!! Ah the school yard memories of a select few who had these.
10 years battery life? That beats my 60 hour Hamilton Automatic hahaha
Been missing this watch for maybe 5 or 6 years max and it still works wow
I'm a huge fan of the casio databanks. I had a few DBCs over the years. The feature I loved was the schedule. You could program a reminder message into the calendar and it would scroll across the screen when the alarm sounded. A marker would appear on the week ahead calendar at the top of the screen Its a shame this new line of databanks don't have this feature.
that sounds amazing. truly a lost feature
I bought one of these recently. Thanks for all the tips!
I love the mesh strap on the silver one! Thanks for the review. I love this channel!
WOW Jody, your videos have improved 1000000 fold over the years congrats bro.
Ha! Thanks. Quite a different look back then. Definite evolution!
I just bought my 1st. I am quite happy with it. Thank you for your cool video.
Brilliant presentation well done and most informative.
A lot of scientists still wear these watches. Ive heard its sort of a tradition
It’s really not that bad when you think about it. Some people want a calculator in their hands at all times instead of having to select an app on an iwatch all the time
Yeah, using the calculator watch will help preserve the battery on your smart devices, so it actually does make good sense to have this calculator watch. Then you have the data bank to use, again, not having to kill the battery on your smart devices. So it actually saved you money in the long term. 😉
Just ordered one of the resin ones the other day and it’ll be in tomorrow
I had one of those Casio calculator watches back in the 80's. I'm trying hard to remember what happened to it... 30 years is a long time!
This watch is great for storing passwords in a day and age where remembering passwords becomes increasingly a bigger problem
It's funny... In the old days, we were forced to remember all telephone numbers. Even though I had a Casio Databank, I knew all the numbers. But now I only remember a few numbers. Not because I'm old, but because of smartphones doing all the dialing.
Watching these videos about watches ,all it does is make me want to buy watches and giving the fact I have a terrible addiction to buying watches,this doesn’t help.
TheWheelofLife100 The addiction is real lmao. Good luck brother
It has to huuuurt!! -😂
Casio is a gateway watch
Vintage Jodi! I didn’t look at the release date before clicking on this one. Love the look!
Another top review and comments. Thank you from Perth, keep safe healthy and happy
Ah Jodie, this made me nostalgic. Also nice to see your earlier work and see the difference to today.
Missed the Heeelllloooooooo! at the start of the vid 👍🙂
Ordered just nowthe silver version cheers for the video
Pound for pound this is a awesome review. well done !
Bought white, green, and black Casio watches on close-out at my local W-M for $11 each. May have to pick-up one of these Databank calculator watches. Well done video.
I have worn a DDC32 resin as my every day watch for over a decade. To me, it really is the most practical timepiece I have.
These early videos really showcase all the improvements you have made over the years. The low camera angle, the sound echo, the somewhat monotone voiceover, the random background... It's all gone. You really transformed the channel, to a point i would say it is perfect. Are there still things today you are not satisfied with?
Always improving mate!
Awesome review! Thank you!
Great review as always. For me, the DBC611 looks the most like the watch I had as a kid. I don't know the exact model I had because there are so many slight variations but the DBC610 is an even closer match. This one looks like a 2000's version of it. 😁
The silver one on the mesh is really funky. Love it! Nice review.
The flash
Still useful if your job requires memorization of inter dept extensions, Dept radio call signs etc
Knowing what a CASIO Fan I am, my Brother presented me this very one. 💪😎😍
Fun review. Thanks.
i had so many casio watches....casio dbc62 .casio dbc 611 .casio db34 then casio recording watch and the casio remote watch
hello chandresh. do you wants to sell it? i would like to buy your collection.
Thank you for this review. I realized for the size it has not enough features
Best watch ever..
I own 4 casios; I'm not into hi-tech but those freaks've got such a humongous personality I just can't but loving them, even if I'm quite into mechanical watches. Guys after all Pope Francis himself wears a basic Casio. This stuff is gold if you're a true watch addict
I had 3 of these back in the late 80s.
I have a thing about us Modern watch lovers obsession with bracelets built like the forth road bridge.
I much prefer these thinner rolled like bracelets as I find the things people go on about negatively about them are what make them more comfortable. They rattle, that means there is more give so they don’t clamp the wrist like an oyster bracelet ( one reason why I sold my Rolex, never got fully comfortable with it, same with my constellation).
They are light, I find that an advantage for day long wear. They are thin, again, I find that more comfortable and easier when under a cuff.
The thing is, they may feel cheap compared to modern Uber bracelets but your watch was cheap to start with, is ten years old and the bracelet barely shows wear and sounds like the simple clasp still clicks shut nicely, that’s the other peave with modern bracelets, the over engineering of the clasp makes them bulky and I always find I have to keep opening them through the day to get relief and I wear mine loose!
I have some vintage watches from the seventies with these rattley bracelets and they shown very little wear and work perfectly!
Thanks for the great review. I had the basic plastic one back in the eighties!
I know that this is an old video but a lack of “HALLOOOO” is a bit sad!
Great vid, good cheap fun with Casio.
Great review want one
Great review. I ordered one after seeing your video. Do you know the exact launch year of this model ?
Nice Mate, I have a Gmix and Edifice. But my Databank DBC 32 is my favorite :)
The original Gmix was a DJ watch with a BPM counter but of course if you had a Databank you could use the stopwatch and calculator to do the same thing as well as perform a whole bunch of other musical calculations.
Hello! Do you know how can I arrange the watch so as to listen to a bip sound every hour exactly
When I was 12 I had the telememo 50. The one with e forward and backward buttons.
How large numbers is it able to calculate and I assume it supports decimals?
you have some beatiful watches there, my friend.
Thats my cup a tea👍🏽🌴1:34 but I am think about the black rubber band one
Nice video bro !!!
I love the design of this watch and I bought it. But it made me kind of sick that it doesn't have a timer. One of the most practical functions and they eliminated the countdown timer.
Yeah it is so stupid that there is no countdown timer on the one watch that really should have it.
It's probably there, you just have to open it and remove some solder from one of the points.
The watch I had in college looked like this but it had blister type buttons instead of individual buttons.
Metal one just ordered
Great watch
i love ur accent and detail video.
I have the no longer produced gold version of the DCB32. The strap was of very poor quality and broke so I stopped wearing it for quite a long time. but then I decided to try on a cheap gold plated bracelet from ebay and now I love it. It's gloriously obnoxious.
"Gloriously obnoxious'! Lol! Cheers!
I had one as a child, now i want it again 😂
"If you're having so much fun with the basic mathematics that you lose track of the time" xDD
😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣
Is it good for small wrists? I have a casio f91W and prefer small sizes for a small wrist.
I have a Casio Data Bank DBC-30. I replaced the battery and it's working fine. My problem is one of the pins for holding the band to the watch has carved out one of the pinholes enough (the watch case is plastic) that the pin, and therefore the band, won't stay in place when wearing the watch.
Has this happened to you? Any ideas on how to repair it?
My wife bought me one the ca 53w one of thee greatest gifts I've ever received....
Love it !
Hi
I was wondering
Does the saved phone numbers are erased when you change the battery ??
I love mine!
Thanks. 👍
Great review! This particular watch is better than the one I had during my childhood in the 80s. But is it Water resistant? I think I'll get one! Thank you!
Good point re WR, or lack thereof! Casio website says nothing.
Same here!!!!!! No gray hairs yet lol debating on which one to get..
Used mine for DEMO calk in the ARMY
Tenho um deste! Relógio de alta qualidade!
I *did* have a calculator watch in school back in the mid 1980s, but I was *far* from "cool," and I was not a "nerd" either. 😄 I just liked having access to information on my wrist because when I watched *Inspector Gadget* back then, his daughter would take out her book and do calculation tasks on it, which made me wish that *I* had something like that at *my* disposal. Just like I wanted a Swiss Army Knife back then when I saw MacGyver using one. 😀 Anyway, my watch kept beeping when I would press a button, so I could not cheat with it in math class. 😬😩... 🤣😀
I just ordered the black DBC model that you reviewed in this video, and it should be here within a weeks time. Together with a cheap ABC (Altimeter Barometer Compass + Pedometer and other features) watch: the Skmei 1358, for just $33 on Amazon (in the U.S.). I will likely be getting a Casio ProTrek PRG330 in the future though. Just testing the cheap one first. 😉
Maybe you can do a review on the Skmei 1358? Or Casio PRG330? 😀
I had the ca53 and the dbc in the late 80s. I still have the original dbc and just bought the ca53. Just because I had to have it back. Dont know what I did with it.
How would you input alphabets? I noticed the keypad isn't alpha-numeric unlike the classic Casio calc watches.
I bought the databank on the strength of this,for a laugh.
Great little watch!
why does your baclight colored green? mine's orange?
My wife bought me this watch nine years ago when we got married and it's my favorite watch for that reason. The only drawback is after 20 years of only really wearing diving watches, when I do wear it, I have a bad habit of getting in the shower and catching myself with it on at the last second.
Hi but this watch is not waterproof?
@@juanchistrd No it is not!!!
Even though I dont own or planning to get one (not my cup of tea) but I hope Casio continue to manufacture these cool watches for ever.
I personally I would have loved a combination of features for such a thing with altimeter, thermometer IR+ambient with huminity and a scientific calculator.
All this being able to use measured values by the sensors, use time values as well with time calulations and a few hexadecimal and boolean calculations ...
The controls wouldnt have been practical at all then
how do you turn off and on the mute feature. I can't figure it out and I really want to learn how. It's impossible to find a video to tell how to do it
I bought the data bank, the resin one, for the same reasons as you, as a child I dreamt of having one but didn't dare to ask it from my parents. :) I was disappointed because the 8 number isn't very responsive and sometimes 5 too. I felt that I was robbed in a way, I paid around 50 euros and I expected it to be nothing less than perfect.
This black version with the red highlights was the knightrider kit car of the watch world
I had 2 casio calcultor is best after 10 year from now is very rare
the exact one!
I am thinking of buying this one.. is it fine if we run wearing it? Since it mentions its not water resistant, will it survive the sweat? And rain and minor water splashes??? Please confirm
I broke my Apple Watch, so I thought about the original Casio calculator watch, but I need the one with backlight aka illuminator, so this one it is.
👍 Just ordered one. I like the idea of combining calculator and databank. 22mm lugs will be perfect because I just put my Duro on a metal bracelet so I have a box of 22mm natos collecting dust at the moment. Thanks for all the great informative videos.
If casio brings back the Databank 150 I will buy a truckload of them
When I was a kid it was either this or a timex indeglo watch. Only issue was Sears didn't carry allot of Casios but they did carry timex so it was Timex Indeglo Ironmans we where all drooling over as kids if you liked watches. Funny thing was I didn't even know what an Auto watch was until the late 2000s Everyone owned either Quartz or manual wind watches where I came from.
