CasioCA53W Vintage Series | Data Bank | 1/100 SEC Stopwatch | Water Resistant | 8 Digit Calculator | Dual Time | Resin Band | Resin Case | Auto Calendar | Daily Alarm | 5 Year Battery

First off this watch is a classic. I have a watch collection of sorts, I appreciate a nice timepiece. This watch is art. It's a better version of an even older smaller more square Casio watch. It is very well constructed, durable and lightweight. It goes with almost every occasion or outfit. It's convenient functions like the calculator are a conversation starter (even though the buttons are tiny and it isn't the easiest to use.) Maybe using a stylus could work better. Or maybe my fingers are just too big.Either way, the build quility is what you would expect out of a Casio, very well made and affordable. It definitely durable, not G-Shock durable but good enough.The style is a kind of endless timepiece. Introduced in 1988 I believe as the next gen of the GA-50 that was released in 1980.With this watch you are owning a piece of retro nostalgic epicness. If you collect watches it's a must have. If you like it it's a must buy!!

Great watch! It works! Had mine for over 5 years and it still works perfectly! Took it to Thailand and got cement on it and it survived the very humid weather. The time display is very clears the sizes are great. Value is perfect and looks are so cool! Always get asked about it!

I recently purchased the Casio Men's Vintage CA-53W-1CR Calculator Watch and I am extremely happy with my purchase. As a kid in the 80s, I always wanted a watch like this but my parents couldn't afford it at the time. Now that I'm an adult, I decided to treat myself and I'm so glad I did.The watch itself is incredibly well made and looks just like I remember from my childhood. It has a classic, retro design that brings back memories of my youth. The calculator function is a fun addition and it's actually quite useful in a pinch. The face is easy to read and the band is comfortable to wear.But the best part about this watch is the reaction it gets from people of all ages. Everywhere I go, people stop to ask me about it and compliment me on my choice. It seems to have a universal appeal and it makes me feel great to wear it.Overall, I highly recommend the Casio Men's Vintage CA-53W-1CR Calculator Watch. It's a fantastic piece of nostalgia that also happens to be a high quality, functional timepiece.

I always wanted one of these as a kid in the 90s. My father, who was a teen in late 70s and 80s was concerned that I would get made fun of at school because, not only were they more expensive back then, only super-geeks wore calculator watches when he was in school; I guess that still applied to the mid-to-late-90s as Casio Calculator Watches hadn't become old enough to be retro-chic yet. My friend, a 30-something exec, recently bought one and I was immediately reminded of how badly I wanted one as a kid and was ecstatic when he told me it was only $15.Upon first purchasing the watch, I felt that I would mostly just use it as a fashion statement more or less -- some kind of geek hipster I guess. But I use this thing all the time: Tips on food, BitCoin conversions, tallying my PostMates delivery totals, all kinds of daily math! I have a genuine need for the second time zone too, having relatives and family in another country and I use the stopwatch frequently to time things like workouts and bike rides as well as walking times to all the facilities I use on a daily basis so that I can find the fastest routes (I'm a big nerd, I know). I probably use this watch for something other than telling time around 10 times a day.I have an iPhone and, sure, I could do all the same things on the iPhone and more than this cheap little watch, but the watch is right there on my wrist! I don't have to take it out, unlock it, and find whatever app I need to use, I just turn my wrist and get straight into it. Sure, I could get an Apple Watch, but I don't see the need to spend $350 on what is essentially a second phone at this point in my life and many of the same problems that come from the complexity of so much versatility would still get in the way. And I can't imagine what using a calculator with such a tiny touch-screen would be like. Even if they're tiny, the Casio's buttons are physical, which goes a long way to being easy to press.If you are a fan of calculators, geeky things, cheap useful things, or Back to the Future and Marty McFly don't hesitate.This watch is fantastic. Casio was way ahead of their time in the late 70s and 80s, not with just this watch but all the fitness and calculator watches they produced. This is an icon of an era of extreme leaps in personal computing technology.Features:* Watch (either 12 or 24 hour) with day of the week indicator and toggle to see year, month and day* Basic Calculator supporting up to 8 digits and supporting addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as basic exponents* Alarm (can also set an hourly chime from here)* Alternate timezone* Stopwatch: chimes every 10 minutes, can record multiple laps.PROS:+ Cheap!+ 5 functions: Clock, Calculator, Alarm, Alternate Timezone, Stopwatch+ Option to have watch chime on the hour+ Can technically multitask (run the stopwatch in the background while you use other functions)+ Durable and Water Resistent+ Alarm is a good volume+ Keeps precise time (I synced it to time.gov several days ago and it's still accurate to the precise second)+ Because of it's simplicity, it just works+ Surprisingly feature-full for such simple technology.CONS:- I personally wish the holes in the arm band were offset 50%. One hole is slightly too tight and the next is slightly too lose. That's just a nit-picky personal problem though.
