Show us your Casio Classics

[Pints]

Inspired by the People who buy 'stuff' to boost ego, or image thread and the Casio F91W, I took a wander onto the Casio site and came across this.



As well as adding the F91W to my small collection, I'm now tempted by this.

Let's see what old school Casio classics you've got in your collection, or which you aspire to.

I've got an old TV remote watch somewhere. I'll have to dig it out.

Did it actually work?

I've even been looking at the databank watch. That takes me back many years. I didn't even know they were still available!

This is my Keith Lemon-esque databank.... love it :-)

It did indeed, I used to use it to control the TV at home as well as my hifi system. It worked on a lot of the school TVs too. Seemed hilarious at the time...

Edit - just realised I also used to have the watch in your first post back at school too!

I had a few of the Casio Classics when I was a kid. They are long gone unfortunately. I remember I had a calculator one and the Phone Dialler (DBA 800 in black). And I also had one that had a countdown timer which had the tenths of a second counting down a circular "pie chart".

Having read this thread i have just been up the loft and found my old Casio watch i bought with my first ever pay check back in 1979, cost around £40-50 if my memory is working right, of course the battery is flat so will be off to the shops in a couple of days for a fresh battery to see if it still works. Can i have the website link re these, can't find anything on Casio.





Complete contrast to my daily Longines of probably 25 years, although recently had a new strap, glass and internals so not much left of the original but i like it,

I have an F91/W and one like in the OP (on my wrist now).

I also have 2 data bank calculator ones that I can't get to work even with new batteries in

Thank you! I have found one of my old Casios which I remembered having. The J51W "Running Man" (with orange buttons I think). Damn I wish I still had that watch.

Well seeing as it was my bragging about my latest elegant time-piece.

Here it is in all it's glory! See how it barely fits around my powerfully built wrist.



ETA the databank is nothing short of magnificent! WANT!

I used to have one of these but it was black plastic, I might have to try and find another.
