Watch😍😘
I'm a prime example of the target market. I wear the dbc32 every day. I work in a surgical unit and the calculator, alarms, and military time are wonderful but the databank is worth its weight in gold. I can't tell you how many times we have scrambled for the numbers of specific doctors, extensions for other units, numbers for OR room phones ect ... I have all that on my wrist now. Every anesthesia provider, every emergency extension number like respiratory therapy or cardiology, and the doctors I work with the most. Plus the main screen format is wonderful when charting. I have the year/month/day and date. This is helpful when charting because you could review charts from months or years ago and honestly some days I'm so tired that it helps to know 100% I'm putting the right month and year on my scanned charts 😂. So all in all it's the perfect watch for me. I got the black model and threw on an after market black stainless bracelet and I'm rocking. Also it's proved to be as waterproof as I will ever need. I've swam, showered and washed my hands daily without issue.
all that fits into 25 memory slots??
In the 80`s people used eraser topped pencils, the buttons were pushed with pencil erasers on top of the pencil. Thats why everyone complains and small buttons. I did it in the 80s.
Yeah, I just bought CA53W and have watched a number of reviews of these watches. So far, none of the reviewers have discovered the fact that the buttons can be pressed with something other than their fingers.
My Casio f-91w helped me a lot when I drove a truck for work. I couldn't be bothered to screw with the time on the shitty truck stereo and I couldn't use my phone while driving so my Casio came in handy a lot of times.
My daily watch is the Dbc32, it's been with me for over 10 years and still rocks , an amazing watch ⌚
I was a teenager in the 1980's. I thought that the Calculator Watch was the coolest thing! I bought an alternative brand other than Casio, at the time. Now at age 50, I purchased a Casio Databank Watch last year. Problem is, it looks cool and has lots of features, but my eyes can't focus on the teeny numbers on the buttons! Even with my glasses on😎
Buddy of mine who works in the same workshop has an old Scientific Calculator watch from Casio, loves it. Does everything from Sin Cos Tan to Pi. Very useful in that kind of environment as it's always available and not easily lost or broken.
I buyed this Model a few days ago from a guy that didn't knew how much it was worth. Saved me a couple hundred bucks. I love it
The CA-56, like the CA-53 doesn't have a backlight. I love my CA-53 but want something with a decent backlight, and as much as I love the classic lines of the DBC-611, the individual buttons and strong backlight of the DBC-32 make it hard to resist.
I think these are still useful because if you need a code and since they are very reliable, you can.
Sure for the actual telememo it's limited and not great, but for storing codes of something that does a great job at it.
This is too bad that they stopped to make these because really these are quite wanted even in 2022.
I own 3 calc watches and I have 2 of the ones you have and a CA - 506 which I do like even if it functions exactly the same as the CA 53W
I actually wish casio do remade some other models or even better create a new one with all the functions that were established with the old stuff or even do a graphing calc watch.
I don't know what people think but I will be their first client for sure :)
The CA53W-1, (Mine the CA53W) very classy watch, I've had mine for over 26 years and only changed the battery once 5 years ago! And Yes, you are right, this watch can't be exposed to water. I had my first one, exposed it to water many times until the calculator keyboard started falling apart. Then I decided to get my second one, never exposed it to water and it still looks great and works like a charm!
In the video he said it has a 5 year battery and you got 21 years from a single battery?
I was wondering if he had installed a miniature nuclear reactor brought back from the future in his.
5 years battery under certain conditions. Alarm once a day and 1-hour per day using the calc function. If you don't use or barely use these functions, the battery can last a lot more
Aesthetically, the 611 is the coolest, especially if you're into 1980s stuff... CA53W-1 is in 2nd place for sheer 1980s digital bliss.
Prices have really gone up! :(
CA-53W: $15.95, now around $23
DBC-32D: $34.95, now around $50
DBC-611: $47.90, now around $60
DB-360: $24.99, now around $40
DBC-32D
It’s sad they have gone up. But I understand with inflation.
Here in Finland the DBC-32D was 76€, during a -15% discount...
I had a Databank in middle and high school. It was black with a flat keyboard, like the silver one you have at the bottom of the thumbnail. I'm planning to order another one next week!
Memories of me in the 80s pressing those little rubber buttons with my mechanical pencil ❤
Received my 611 yesterday and it's lighter and smaller than I remember from the watch I had in the '80s it feels like it's only a few grams in weight or maybe it's because I'm used to wearing heavy 40 to 40,5mm watches... anyway not wat I expected or remembered from back in the day, I should have ordered the 32 looks bigger on the wrist
Coolest thing about owning one of these back then was for the first time ever I could directly input the time rather than having to press the same button over and over again only to over shoot the time I wanted.
The cfx-40 was a full function scientific model in the same case design as that dbc-611.
The DBC 32 is the best totally agree button function is the best bigger display.... Proper retro casio
Finally someone who make a good video about this watches. Thank you!
The black cheap calc watch in video does have a light, it's on the top right buttons if I'm remembering correctly
Nope that another one, I own the ca-53w and it doesn't have it but it as a positive, less battery consumption
Someone commented that the CA23 is Chinese crap. Mine loses ten seconds per year, pretty good for “crap.”
I have the DB360 in gold. What a perfect watch.
Thanks for the review. Had one of these decades ago. Good to see some are still around. Time to get another one.
I got myself a DBC-611-1 for only 38€ (very cheap) second hand , clean and unused , and in full metal ! (more shiny than the one in the video)
LOL, it's not a full metal model :) www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/wat/watch_detail/DBC-611-1/
These watches are good If you have many credit/ debit cards and you have problem in remembering pin numbers. I stored all my pin numbers in watch
Dude don’t do that. Anyone who gets hold of your watch can get access to all that data easily then
I just bought a DBC-32D-1 from Ebay, couldn't decide before seeing this video. :) Although the prices have gone up roughly 2x.
I know this video is older, but I appreciate it, I've been trying to compare these. I have sausage fingers and a bigger wrist too lol, so this is extra useful.
Back when these watches were new, people used the tips of pens and pencils to press the calculator buttons, not their fingers.
the ca53w has great water protection i have forgot to take it off in the show and when i go swimming and its fine but i do get a bit of skin irritation from the bands
Just received the DBC32d and love it. Still considering the 611 but maybe it’s not even worth getting now ?
Ok so I will get DBC-32D-1 with resin case. ...Actual name for resin case version is DBC-32-1a. I would like metal version, but metal painted plastic is like cheating to me. And I think that that metal paint can worn out so it will look ugly after that.
I own three Casio Databank 300 (DBC 3000). One is made in China and the two unused are made in Malysia. Love the Databank 300! Metal and glass.
Absolutely you have to enjoy wearing watches I agree with you Love watches
9:50 Just ordered the better lighting one.
Dbc32 has better usability, but dbc611 more elegant. So, just need to buy both
I have the vintage 1477 dbc 150 illuminator and i love it!
I love ca53w casio watch
The 611 was my grail as a kid. Never did get my hands on one :(
9:30 Classic and discreet. Definitely the DBC-32D is the ugliest and weirdest, that one with a green light is more to get attention than useful.
3:01 I have taken my Casio calcuelator watch into the shower before and it still works
You can use the ca53w-1 in water and also I think that the one with the big screen and a LED light is the best one cuz it has practically the most features and has a bigger display to read all of them and it also looks than nice's in my opinion
참으로 시계를 잘 만드는 브랜드.
카시오!!!!
Until Casio brings back a scientific calculator watch, no nerd points from me.
Exactly. I had a cfx-40 to back up my fx-7000g, which would occasionally kill off its four 2032 batteries at an inopportune time.
Starts at 1:58
Thanks
At 2:05 you said this doesn't do data, and I agree. What's with the stand it's on? I can read databank on it.
DB360-1AV my fav think i will get one...
❤️I ordered the first 2 because of u man.
The best watch ever, was the *DBX-100* (very similar to DBC611-1), but with full *dot matrix display* (aprox 1988-1992). But this watch had a "bug", a weak point.. and this is the reason, as i believe, why CASIO never attempted to built such a great watch again. I still have it.. it wasn't "dead" but it's keys melted and this is the reason why i abandoned it.
Hi i don't suppose you would know why my CA53W-1 has a yellow outline around the WR logo on the top right of the face?
Forgot DBX 102 and 112
There are so many more calculators/data banks watches from casio really unbelievable
Great review. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
I have (and wear regularly) the Casio DBC-611-G (the gold model) and the case is most definitely metal, not resin. I would've assumed the silver model would be metal too, but perhaps it's a cheaper version. The next I get will be the CA-53..... for nostalgia reasons.
Neither is a full metal model, sorry to spoil it for you ;) www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/wat/watch_detail/DBC-611G-1/
Thank you for making an awesome and super informational review! I bought a DBC-611 (gold version), but I didn’t like the weak lum and the flat button pad. I was researching the other three models before I discovered this video, and you helped me settle on the DBC-32D-1. What sold me was the better lum and raised buttons! My dad has always rocked a Databank 150 when I was a kid and thought it was the coolest/nerdiest thing.
Also, I subscribed because I like your style of review.
Thank you very much :)
do you know anything about the Casio DBC-32-1AES its about $10 more than the regular
DBC32-1A on amazon.
Is the ES the code for “Spain” release?
I just bought the black Database.
I have a TC-600, that is touch screen, data bank, and calculator, plus 10 year battery.
Outstanding! Love these watches. Brings back lots of memories. Thanks for doing the reviews. My last comment (the give away vlog), I actually asked for a review on Casio Calc watches. Cheers, Rob.
I remembered your comment. You're in Australia right? I hope you and your son like this review :)
Loved it. Yes, we're in Oz. Although, my collection features more high end time pieces like Panerai, Hublot, Vacheron, A. Lange & Sohne (not jewelry like rolex etc.), he's got a good little collection going of Japanese watches. Casio, Citizen, Seiko etc. He has to pay for them himself and he's only 13. It's how I started. Got his eye on a worn Bell & Ross at the local Pawn shop for Xmas. Keeps dropping hints, and I keep telling him to watch his spending! LOL!!
Since you didn't win the last giveaway, I would like to send your son one of these watches if he's interested. As a dad myself, I know how cool it is to have something you and your son can enjoy together(right now my boy is really into poker). I'm just afraid of the shipping costs to the land down under. I think the shipping costs would be worth more than the watch itself...lol. See what he thinks and we can work something out :)
DBC-611 all the way! Love this watch!
Some workplaces don't want you to have a phone with you as its a distraction. Obviously few heed that directive in the places Ive worked :-)
Can anyone help me understand the difference between the DBC32-1A vs DBC-32-1AES models? I don't know if they have any actual internal differences like water resistance or if it's just a difference to show manufacturing runs.
The silver stainless band is DBC32-1ADF and the Black resin one is DBC-32-1AES. Basically the same watch, since I have both. Both has no water resistance ever mentioned on any official casio records, but I've been through heavy rain with the resin one and it survived (its under my jacket's sleeve). But after replacing the battery, it does have the rubber seal and all. if you considering one, I would suggest get the resin one. Its black plastic, no paint to scratch off. If the band fails, its 22mm lug, I put mine on a nato strap and doesn't look odd.
DBC611, I'm sure I had this in black back in the day
Great video, Maverick. Thx!
I’ve been looking to get a simple, low cost sporty digital watch for myself and my nine year old son. He swims a lot so I’d want to find something he can go underwater with.
Any suggestions?
Hey...that would be a helpful video! Sporty digital watch recommendations for kids. Haha
Cheers👍
Casio AE12WH-1A would be my choice. 100m water resistant with a resin strap. Casio W800H-1AV could work as well. A little smaller for your 9 y/o but you lose the cool little world map. 39.5mm vs 37mm diameter. Both under $15.
My casio CA53W-1 has made in korea
Hey! I wanna ask something about metal bracelets on watches. Which wrist size I can't use these type watches? I really like that metal thing, but my hand and wrist is really big, I think... What size is the biggest in this metal category? What your size?
Thank you!
The bracelets can take quite big wrists, I think. I have slim wrists and had to remove 5 links from my Casio DBC-32D-1 bracelet. Of course the watches are pretty small and the calculator buttons are tiny, so if you have big fingers, it might be a bit tricky to use the buttons, although you have to press them with your finger nail anyway, even if you have smaller fingers.
@@3AMJH How did you remove the links? I don't see how on mine.
Is it true that dbc32 is 22mm lug to lug?
forgot DBC62
It is water resistant ?
DBC-32D-1 is not water resistance.
I need 611dp in black plastic case
I need Rolex Deepsea in green box.
Are these watch batteries replaceable after 5 or 10 years . ..or is the watch disposable?
you can change the battery on any casio watch
the "10 year battery" is just the battery life, that means you'll only have to change it every 10 years
You do a great job. Thanks
Thank you sir!
Nice Review😆
Nice Review Man, keep it up
Thank you sir!
Thank you for the vid, this is exactly what I was looking for. earned my sub
No, thank you. I really appreciate it :)
Can’t like this video enough!
I like the black one. Weird ly
How much?
This video saved me from buying the DBC-611-1. I have the other three watches.
you should actually , my DBC-611-1 is in full metal and functionnal , got it for 30€ only , best watch ever
YT algorithm 😂 They know I like my watch...
The CA53W-1
Nice voice bro
Data-Bank, not Data-Base
Doesn't make a difference...lol.
10:27 mine pals and such buddys (:
The ca 53w-1 is NOT in the Back to the Future movie... thats the ca 50 lithium version and goes for couple of 100 bucks on ebay!
The ca 53w-1 is a chinese crap watch and the japanese original ca 53w is in BTTF 2
Good evening sir. How to order
Forgot DBC 150
Edb 610 is the Mac daddy
Cool 😎
Not everybody has a cell phone though!
I have an eyebrow piercing and I'm a dude. Idk. You should get something like that 😂
With Casio watches that come with metal bracelets, the bracelets can be replaced with standard ones. With Casio watches that come with rubber straps only some of them can be replaced with standard ones.
Resin/rubber straps are the weak link in any brand of watches. They crack and break within long before the first battery dies, and the proprietary straps cost +$10. I stopped buying watches that won't take a standard bracelet/strap without looking mis-matched. I think folded link bracelets of any design fit poorly and are uncomfortable; I prefer high quality stainless expansion bracelets.
Personally as a calculator I prefer the CA56 series best. I have had a series of databank watches, but frankly, the data feature is questionable since EVERY cellphone I've ever had has had a better data feature. I don't care about battery life as I can replace any watch battery in 5 minutes. Water resistance is important to me; 3bar/ATM models aren't sweat resistant.
What I now wear daily are Casio ana-digi alarm watches, most (effectively) non-illuminated, with 50M-100M ratings and standard design straps. When their original straps/bracelets fail, they get $4 silicone straps made for smart watches or one of my 30-year-old Spiedel Twist-o-flex bracelets.,
How to buy sir ?
Amazon
Intro is absurdly loud. Please at least put a warning
No it's not...lol. Your speakers must be absurdly loud. Turn them down.
@@maverickwatchreviews Nothing else is loud except your intro. This is constructive criticism. Head phone users especially will appreciate if you dialed down the intro a little.
@@maverickwatchreviews Don't know what that dude is talking about. His EQ settings are probably a mess lmao
I found a watch is a billion times more convenient to check the time on than my phone.
I definitely agree!
A cell phone is a pocket watch.
But a pocket watch isn't a cellphone...hmmm :)
The DBV -611-1 I had in black when I was in grade school. I can't seem to find them in black anywhere.
I have the rubber looking one
