Useless ? What if they find you in a comma and can’t unlock your phone? Pretty nice emergency contact list to keep especially if it’s for a kid
Holy crap, I never thought of that, that's brilliant 👍
Nicholas Dyer If they find you in a comma, then you're done...period.
I can use this to store different door lock codes, I work in multiple office locations. I am buying this watch.
hipcuteguy Best part is no one will known how to use it.... 😆
@@hipcuteguy database watches are perfect for passwords and codes. totally secure
as in cannot be hacked into) and pretty much always on the person.
I've had an alarm going off on my watch at 11:58pm for six years and your video just helped me finally turn it off. Thank you!!!!
Haha I'm glad I helped
Bruh
Your comment just makes me want to buy this watch, bro.
My alarm has been going off for over 10 years! I just leave it now
Same here thank u
This watch saved me one day. Because of cell phones, I don't know many phone numbers, I just touch people's names or tell my phone to call someone. My cell phone died and I had no way of finding my wife at Six Flags. Thankfully I borrowed someone else's phone and looked up my wife on my watch. Boom. Love this watch. I wish they still made this watch with the schedule function and EL backlight.
I agree, it's pretty sad that these newer repros don't have as many features as the previous generations. Would love the schedulers or extended databank features.
Yeah, me too!! Phone died and could not remember my friends number. BUT BUT BUT, i remembered that i had his number in my watch and borrowed my sons phone. Super ‘save your ass’ watch, IF you wear it😂😂
I got one of these back in 1984 (DBC 600) and I just found a reproduction this week. I LOVED this watch so much when I bought one as a 19 yr old during the early eighties. I ran that thing to death having it rebuilt three times up to the late 80's. I'm so glad I found one on eBay even if it is a repro... :)
Training to be a pilot. My CA-53W's band broke recently, so I needed an upgrade. Needed a backlight, but I realized I would need both hands to activate the light, which wouldn't work too well. Autolight will work prefectly. Also, the phone book will help greatly for keeping phone numbers for ground stations. The calculator and currency exchange are excellent for financial use. Also, the dual time is great for zulu time, the international time zone for aviation. This video is what got me sold!
+DandruffCat WOW this watch seems PERFECT for all your needs, it's great when someone actually uses all the functions a watch offers.
Good luck at you pilot training, I applied for a combat pilot with my air force after highschool, but u didn't pass the medical, my eyes where the cause for a fail to pass the test :(
Watch Geek if you applied today, you would be let in. Apparently if you have 20/20 vision with glasses, you're fine.
+DandruffCat oh wow, that's new!!
Unfortunately it's a bit too late for me now :)
Had the DBC-610 in 5th grade and absolutely loved it especially storing my friends phone numbers and thinking I could cheat math calculations in class. Just got the DBC-611 as a work gift exchange and boy did it bring back memories, I freaking love this watch.
Thank you for such an in depth tutorial...
I get mine 4 years later... hah! This is still the best online tutorial for setup (any Casio!) and super happy to finally get this on my wrist and feeling like a proper NASA intern
Thank you! Really useful review, I received mine today and your guide really helped.
I just bought this watch today and love it. Thanks for this tutorial. I am all set.
Mine just came in. Nice vintage box. You have a good knowledge of this one. I have pictures of myself with one exact the same in 1988. Had it for almost a decade. While on the wrist is even easier to punch the buttons because you use your pointer finger to press. Thumb for left side buttons.
Thank you so much for this in-depth video of this model. Enjoy your videos! Hvala Ljiepo!
It was one of my first smart watches. I had another with a calculator in 1982, which was round and had the buttons in a circle around the screen... I loved those watches, this was by far my favourite. I saw it a while back in a shop here. But nowadays I use a huawei sports watch, which is pretty cool too.
You can have more than one watch at a time. Go for it, you will like choosing a different watch by your mood for that day. Agreed, Huawei is a good choice :)
I have the dbc-32 that is literally the same thing and I love it so much! (especially the alarms)
By the way the reason why mute function. Is at calculator mode is that's where you will make most of the sound with the keys as you use the calculator...so you turn it on or off when you use the calculator
+TAO MAO oh that's smart, didn't think of that
Where is it in the video that he shows how to mute the watch?
@@jmeler1254 in the calculator function at 17:50.
I bought this watch a few months ago. This one is amazing. One day, It is washed with other clothes at Laundry machine by my mistake. But It still works well. Thumbs up! From South Korea Dude
I guess it is more water resistant than I thought 👍
bought it yesterday and i like it very much!!! it is truely amazing
(sorry for my bad english =D)
Just referenced your video to figure out how to change the am/pm. Thanks! Your videos are great! Seen so many of them.
Thanks 😊
Im watching this in july of 2019, thank you so very much for thus great info, i love my sbc611 even more now!
A fantastically detailed tutorial. Thanks.!
“Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand.”
Thanks
Thanks for the video i just ordered mine and im stoked!
Thank you! I bought that watch from a friend without any manual and was trying to understand it for a week.
What color is the back light ? Is it bright ?
@@eazywisdom5904 drive.google.com/file/d/1rsZwBoNr8SrMNHcC3UlmlaGk4bRifXeL/view?usp=drivesdk
*It is not as bright as on the picture, but definitely bright enough to be readable.*
Edit: (I have the gold version)
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I'm a guy who loves tech gadgets such as smartphones and smart watches but I had to look up your tutorial on how to change this watch from pm to am 🤣
Got this a year ago and didn't know anything like I couldn't even figure out dual time and the phone book thing but besides that the time worked well but this vid did help alot
I remember watches like this from my childhood days, such good memories! The background light is just how it was when I had one...strongest on the side. This is a cool retro look and whole lot less in cost than JLC's Amvox. This would make a nice vintage Fathers Day gift!
+whatsonthewrist yes they do bring back memories :)
Just got it as a Christmas present from my brothers and I’m in love with it
The coolest retro watch I have, or has been in production recently. I owned the original. This is as near to perfect as makes no difference. The keypad is exact. It's totally unique
Great Video Thanks! Just bought watch! Love it!
I spent my chilldhood in the latest 70 and esrliest 80 and i grew up watching pieces like this in scifi movies.When you see this watch your imagination flies to that incredible movies from the eighties and seventies where you could see watches like this.Back to the future,TRON,LOGANS RUN,BATTLESTAR GALACTICA etc.These watches are called vintage,but i call them inmortals because they tracend the time.
Very helpful! Thank you for making this
Very helpful tutorial, thank you. Now I'm wearing so proud my calculator watch. Back to 80s !!
Good review. I looked over this model before. I never know it can do more than the basic calculator. 😍
I just ordered one and this video will help me alot to set it up
I just got this watch and it was to big I though I had to go to the shops but I found out that you can adjust it awesome thanks😀
I'm glad I helped and enjoy your new watch
The only time you absolutely need, because it’s so helpful, is when you are using the keypad for numbers. Makes sense to me. You are brilliant though. I love your videos. They have helped with a couple of time pieces.
Fell in love with this watch after its worn by Ludwig Dieter in Army of Thieves movie!
Haha yup, seen it last week!
@@WatchGeek Thanks to you and the movie I bought the watch yesterday lol
Thank you. You explain everything in such a pleasant manner. Much appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
The CA53W calculator watch also has the beep on/off in calculator mode. Now I think that's another cool bond they share... Besides being calculators. 😬
Awesome video.
That is a very cool watch, I always wanted one and recently bought it, Casio should consider making a smartwatch based on its design.
I love your camerawork sir, it is like having the watch right in my hands.
Really liked this video. Well structured. I watched the whole thing. Thanks!
+ASTActionCam thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching :)
I love this watch ... thanks great video btw ... another hidden feature of this watch is back to home mode beep sound like most of G-Shock watch
Thank you for this video!
I'm about to buy the golden one, I've always wanted to buy it, but for one or another things/situations I didn't. After bought this golden dbc611 I'll go for a silver dbc32. Thanks for the tutorial.
I bought that in the late 80s, looked pretty cool and was quite expensive back then. It was really useful watch because not everybody of my friends had their phone number in the public phonebook, and I have bad number memory. Number pad eventually broke because accidental acetone splash at the work :)
+YPO6 yup they were pretty high tech back then!
Great to hear from someone who had the originals when they were actually functional with their databank function :)
Thank you for this tutorial!!
Nice vid. FYI, I just got the Casio G2900F, and it actually has an even more advanced alarm function than this one: In addition to all the modes on the DBC 611, you can also add text to each alarm, which is VERY useful. The G2900F also has password protected 40 entry databank, 10 year battery, auto EL-light, mineral crystal, the most legible G-shock LCD display and 200m WR. Very underrated given the low asking price.
+operamint oh wow that is a great watch 😛
Very well explained, thank you!
Thank you for your tutorial!! Really helped
This video was super helpful
Thanks
I have this very model also ,, thanks for the video Shane uk 🇬🇧
Awesome review! Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Great video. Very helpful
This looks so cool!
This is an excellent video, thank you
Hey, I got Casio DBC-32D-1A and it has the same alarm functions... the only thing I couldn't find is a Countdown Timer feature
i just got one and its amazing!!!
Congrats 😊👍
i Might add to this video that ive recently purchased this piece to my vintage collection and mine is a Matt finish not chrome style finish so not sure if theyve changed the look of the newer made versions...Mine is exactly the same as the dbc 32 housing ? Would of much prefered the chrome finish than the matt look but does now blend in with its Matt looking bracelet...
Thanks you so much 👍👌
Awesome job 🙏
Anyone know if you can get larger bracelets for these watches? I got 8.5" wrists and I doubt the metal ntacelet will fit my wrist and the pins look iff to take a one pass strap.
Cheers for that! 👍
Very useful video. Thanks!
+felipe hussing thanks for watching and I'm glad I could help
The coolest watch ever 😀
Great review.
Thanks
I just bought one and I love it. My only complaint is that the band is too narrow. Does anyone know if there is a way to replace it with a wider band?
I bought this watch today.. DBC 32... 2888.... I love it. ..
+burhan999 congrats 👍
DBC-32 is a different model.
Thank you so much!
Super review , thanks Man !
+An Is thanks for watching :)
Watch Geek how i Can keep the alarm ringing till i stop it ?
+An Is it rings for 15-20 seconds and stops by itself, it will not keep ringing
Watch Geek okay , i wished a repeat fonction 😗 , thanks again ! ;)
+An Is oh you mean snooze
I had the original in black in the 80's and I'm a bit disappointed that Casio didn't include a timer function on this re-issue. The multifunction alarm is nice but the original had instead something much cooler called schedules which would be displayed between the lines at the top for each day of the week for 2 weeks and you could give each schedule a text title.
They just don't make them like they used to...
Me too.
I had one like 30 years ago as a kid. The black one. I still remember the order of all menu items, tel sched, cal, wt, alarm timer.
Is there a black one available today?
I had many casio databank watches while I was growing up and I can absolutely attest to their quality. Even though I have a smart watch today, I still want one.
You're a lifesaver...my baby came in without a manual.
helpful thanks
Good explanation
Great video man👍😀
+Illuminati thanks :)
+Illuminati thanks :)
These is a great video!!! Thanks a lot Sr.
I would like to ask you a question!!!!
😊
Thanks very useful
You could also use the data bank to enter birthdates or something to could you not? Also I like the idea of storing phone numbers on this for when you loose or break your phone. Nobody remembers phone numbers anymore thanks to smart phones.
Possibly some rarely used but important passwords if they are short enough to
I’m so excited getting this watch but when i followed the instruction to set it to 12 hour the =pm button is not working. Does bit even make a sound at all when you click it but the other buttons do make a sound. So sad. I will have to replace it I guess.
where can i find the shiny chrome version like this one. the only ones i can find are matt silver colors
i do not think you can purchase the older chrome variants maybe wrong worth researching....i was hoping mine was chrome finished but tbh it does blend in fully with bracelet...
I watch this video at least once per year - just to remember how to turn on/off DST :)
Isn't it the same on all Casho watch?
Watched your review, subscribed and bought this watch same day. It is everything I need in my day-to-day life, except for being splashproof, or is it?
+Joshua CN I think you're OK with it being splash proof
Awesome!
are they all this shiny? i ordered one yesterday but it looked matt finish? did not know they had shiny chrome?
Was it the gold one? As far as I know, 611G has matt finish.
Are the databank entries lost when the battery runs out ?
no. the data have nothing to do with the battery. data is stored in the memory unit
Was the link where you got your watch? I see your watch's face is metal and the link's is plastic
Nice data bank on wrist 😎
Thanks for this video
+Y Oz no problem, thank you for watching :)
This video really helped me
Nice looking watches! Casio Calculator
Hey great video I love this watch I was wondering If you know Of up Nylon or leather replacement band for it I bought a few the right sizes but they don't fit on very well If it on it off
Sadly no
With my older model Casio calculator watch, I removed the old bracelet drilled new holes for pins, used wire to make pins, and used standard NATO straps on it
3:42 what is the lug size ?
Thank you
+TimoteoDelCielo 👍
The DBC611 Is related directly to the DBC610 from back in the day. The CA53 had a CA56 come out after it.
Love this watch. I personally don't like all the new smart watches. Love these retro digital watches. 👌
You might want to mention in the description that this is the DBC 611E-1EF model (you can see 611E on the back @ 6:04). The one sold on Amazon (USA) is the DBC 611 which doesn't have the stainless steel front case, but a chrome plated plastic one. Amazon (UK) has the model shown in the video, which I think looks much better!
Cheers!
+Self Confidence thanks for the info
Unfortunately, the watch listed in the amazon-link in the description, is not identical to the one shown in the video. The one in the video is the chromed "silver"-version of this watch, while the one in the Amazon-link is the "silver tone" version, which has a matte, silver-painted plastic look. Ask me how I know. :(
Great Review, from your video it look like is a polish case, but the same I can found is a stain finish, it there have to different model? thanks
+mika kimi could be a slightly different model
Is there a way to do the classic genuine Casio test on this 611 ?
On most Casio's....you can do a test to see if its a genuine Casio, you press and hold the bottom right button, and if its real it displays 'Casio'.
However...im not how to do in on this watch...holding the bottom right button does a different function. And holding the other buttons don't seem to do it either,
That test is only valid for the F-91W and it's variants, not for all Casio watches.
Cool retro watch..casio has a look of their own ! Will this fit a 9 inch wrist ?
I doubt it'll fit a 9" wrist!! Just get a bigger band! :)
Can you advice why mine is dull grey resin body and you is chrome shine body
@Niche Nope, not a bootleg. The one with the dull resin body is the dbc-611-1df while the chrome one is the dbc-611-1ef
Is the box make in resin/plastic? Or metal? I heard there is still a model hard to find made in full-in metal.
The one he has is chrome resin plastic, maybe check Casio's website for the model name of the metal version?
Cool 😎
