I was born in 1980. I am 43 years old. My very first watch was a calculator watch in 1990. Later, I remember I also had a Casio ca-53w watch. Now, at the age of 43, I ordered it again and wear it. This watch is like the car in the movie. I pick it up and it takes me back in time. To the happy and unforgettable late 80s and early 90s...

Hourly signal on/off easy. Hit a button for the date easy. If it had a backlight it’d be perfect. The other dbc in feature here seems cool but a bit too much - if I need five alarms I’ll start using my iPhone at that point.

Me too. The first model, I believe it was Made in Japan. Then, in early '90s became Assembled in Korea, later on, Made in China. I have one exactly the same, Assembled in Korea. The truth is that is not so functional (tiny buttons, no light, small digits) but is stylish and so Retro. Mine, runs perfectly for almost 30 years, I have it yet, I often wears it, and it attracts peoples look. I've change battery, two times, and resin band other two. And it is a 'hard' watch, durable, no scratches on plastic body and in glass. The small buttons of the calculator, act like a bumper to glass-display. An it is water-resistant; in the 30 years that I have it, i have done many times shower, wearing it. It's an awesome watch!

I just got one. I always thought they were cool but I never had one until now. When I took it out of the box I thought that it was smaller than I remember from elementary school in the late 1980's and early 90's. I took it off of the plastic holder and I thought it was very light. I am used to the heaviness of a Rolex Submariner. Also, they changed the "WR" on the watch which is somewhat disappointing. I put it on my wrist and it is very comfortable. It doesn't look so small when you actually put it on. I really like the accuracy. The instruction manual says + or - 15 seconds a month but I think that is better than that. It is just a fun watch to have.

I don't know why but yes they change the WR on the top right now as of 2021 , there is a yellow contour line (that look like an HDMI shape) ... WTF CASIO . I dont know why they did that but its a stupid move . The ca-53w is a classic , leave it like it is , its the same since 1988 . I dont understand why they did that . Im happy i got mine years ago and have the same design as the 1988 . But now i'm worry the classic model will not be available anymore soon . The good thing about the Ca-53w is that it was always affordable and widely available , so you didn't care about something happening to it cause you could buy another one right away . But now , the classic model will become harder to find . Thx Casio for that stupid move .

@BEN 1891 Ah, interesting! Not sure why they are so valuable? It wasn't that great a game, just an advancing line of changing numerals that you had to match by scrolling through the numbers to match that one just generated to delete it, every so often I think an upside down U shape character would go across, hitting that would delete the whole row, it progressively got faster, if the numbers hit the end of the row it was game over, I think you had 3 lives or something? It was ok to pass a few minutes when I was in class at school but it quickly got boring! And the 2 buttons you had to constantly dab would eventually get worn, sticky and frustratingly wouldn't quite make the contact sometimes and you'd lose a life lol I don't think they were so expensive at the time, maybe £20? I should have bought a few and nested them away somewhere to sell in 2020 lol 😎👍😁 I also had the seiko databank watch from the late 1980s it came with the keypad device you needed to input the data, it had a dot matrix display and displayed a few lines of text per 'page'. I used to joke around with my mates that it could read heart rate, blood pressure, body temp etc in real time lol you could just write on different pages, Heart Rate 66bpm, Body Temp 37.5c, Blood Pressure.....etc etc I even made it read the weather.......Weather Sunny, Outside Temp 20c ...etc etc 😁👍😯⚠️ No device that small could do all those things lol nevermind a watch but they seemed to buy it.😯😊😁 I seem to remember it was very expensive but I bought it in a special offer deal way cheaper, it developed a fault and had to be sent back to Japan for repair under warranty, I remember it took months to come back, maybe 6-9 months? It had notes inside the box with hand written japanese writing, I guess from the tech who repaired it? I was told it would eventually develope the same fault again, some design flaw with the module or something? I still had it but moved house and not seen it for years, not sure if I left it or it is still in a box somewhere in my garage?? Like I left my Sharp Pocket PC in there for over 10 years lol it still worked though, I have a video of that on my channel. 👍😎⚠️
