Slick little watch
This is a great retro watch. I love the look and the buttons are easy to use despite their small size.

I own the basic black, no backlight, Casio calculator watch. The first one I owned, the battery lasted for 10 years (turning the button beep prolongs battery life) and I lost the watch when the watchband finally broke.
When I went to replace it, I upgraded to a more expensive model that had a backlight on demand and stored phone numbers and appointments. The battery only lasted a few months. I replaced it and it lasted only a few months again. I bought another basic model.
I’ve now had that watch for three years and still going strong. I bought one for my teenage son and he loves it.
You get:
1. a digital watch that shows day, month, date year and time
2. a calculator that does simple math functions (buttons are small and take some getting used to
3. a stopwatch
4. an alarm clock
5. dual time function (can be set to show time in another time zone; I’ve never used this)
6. a watch so cheap, you don’t have to worry about losing it and muggers don’t want (this actually happened to me, the mugger wanted my wallet and my watch. when he saw my watch, he laughed and told me to keep it).
all for under 20 dollars. you can’t beat this functionality for the price. I’ll never buy another watch. I was recently given a t-shirt with this watch on it and the caption “Genuine Bling”. True dat.

I have owned a half-dozen of these watches dating back to the late 70’s. Each one has lasted about five years. I have found it cheaper to just buy a new one on sale at Wal-mart or Target (or Amazon) rather than have a jeweler replace the battery. I find the alarm the most used optional feature, followed by the calculator, the dual-time (great for travel, and the stopwatch. It is very light-weight yet surprisingly rugged and easy to operate.

The watch is great because casio makes great long lasting watches, but it would be nice if it had a light. The other less nicer ones from Wal-Mart have a light. But it is definitely worth the buy if you’re a casio watch fan. Nice classic look and endureable too!

Just in Time
I had to replace a similar digital watch made by a rival company, but in searching the web, that company no longer made a comparable version.

Great multi functional electronic value
This is my third Casio CA53W. I buy one every five years when the battery and watch band need to be replaced.

Review of Casio #CA53W-1 watch with calculator
I ordered two of these watches from “Shopemco” and they arrived 3 days after order was placed. Ordered them for adding archery scores.

Great product
This is a great product. The band is a little weak, so be careful. Other than that, it’s reliable and easy to use. I do recommend this watch. God bless.

What a Watch!
This little watch is great. The first time I purchased a watch with a calculator on it, it was because I needed a watch Right Now.
