@@mrkatopotato Yes, you can change the strap-- but, you have to be a little creative with these inexpensive Casios, sometimes... They aren't so-called "strap monsters" & the lug holes will wear out-- Although, the fact that these are drilled and they are 20mm (one of the "established" strap sizes of the watch industry) helps. For a lark, I trimmed down a "much more expensive than the watch" 20 mm strap for one of my F-91Ws... For another F-91W, I substituted a (now deceased) Casio Forrester Velcro band that I "shoe horned" into the smaller lugs. (*This is a GREAT channel for being creative with inexpensive Casios, btw!) Lol!
When i was a kid 10 years old, I found this in front of a kiosk I asked the owner if he lost a watch or somebody asked for it. He said nope, he told me too keep it. I put it on my wrist and was so happy. 30 sec later a guy came in asked for it he had lost it out of his bag . I returned it to him. It was the happiest moment when I had it on my wrist. After that I knew I had to get this watch someday. Now I got it 23 years later, brings me way back. 🤗 When I was almost 12 I told my dad I wanted this watch, then he came with the F-91W on my birthday. I loved it but still was dreaming about CA53.
My big party trick back then was the ol' "Shell Oil" routine: add a couple of numbers together to equal 710.77345, along with some patter about oil producing countries going to war (punch line: "who wins?"), then flip the watch upside down to show the answer. I wasn't very popular at parties....
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...
The fact that this watch is so cheap today is really cool. It's starred in huge movies and has been in production since 1988. I knew I had to get one of these.
Because you were a nerd like me? lol. I spent like 10 minutes thinking of that menu. I spent THREE HOURS on the friggin intro! lol. I sometimes can words good.
I fell in love with the CFX-200 about a year ago. It was pure luck, but in a year I managed to get two of them, both in nice condition. I may be wrong but as far as I know they came out in 1983.
My father had similar but with metalic buttons in early 80s. Anyway i remember him using it while diping his hands in oil kerosene water and during all that rough tough jobs..now in 2017 i gifted him exactly same 53w but he said hey no one uses watches now better get me a smartphone lol. Its on my wrist now and its cool.
Funny how, in the 80s, I avoided wearing a calculator watch-- while I was a pseudo-nerd (loved sci-fi, comics, and D & D) lol, I didn't want to to get pegged as a full-on geek... lol! Now, though? I have TOTALLY embraced my "nerd-dom" and absolutely love these inexpensive, Casio digitals! Lol! Thanks for this video! (Btw, +1 for making an F-91W video!) ☝😎
I ordered one just now for nostalgic reasons, lost mine decades ago, probably due to childish carelessness. It's super cheap, a watch that I intend to keep around this time.
This watch bought back alot of memories of my childhood. Really nice to see you review it here. It's quite surprising that Casio didn't discontinue this watch especially when we have all the modern day tech right now. I remembered it was so cool n awesome back in the 80s to have a watch that also calculates.
So nice review man, it reminds me on my youth, i had this beauty in the ground school as on of the first, and used it successfully :-) and for some reason a became an engineer...
Got a CA53W and then decided I wanted a databank like I had in sixth grade. Managed to find a dbc-150 on ebay and boy howdy they are collectible and expensive now!
There's a lot of people saying that it has no light, but if it's exactly the same as it was in the 80', it does have light. If I remember correctly it was the '7' key while in watch mode.
I bought the Casio Calculator Watch model CA-53W on September 9th,2017,even though I’m sixteen years old,but this watch is still awesome. And I still wear it ever since. Just like Garth Algar from the movie Wayne’s World,who wore a Casio Calculator Watch model Ca-50,said,it’s like a new pair of underwear. At first,it’s constrictive,but after a while,it becomes a part of you. This watch really takes me back to the past. And I thank God for this watch,because if it weren’t for this watch,where would you tell time,and how would you get through the math problems,you know? Anyway,I love this watch. It’s the same watch that was worn by Marty McFly from Back to the Future,and Walter White from Breaking Bad. Even though it has no backlight and it’s an eight digit Calculator watch,it’s still a good watch.
CA 50, the watch featured in first Back To The Future movie didn't have grooves and wasn't water resistant. I used to have such watch back in 1986, but sadly, the keyboard fell of after a year.
I want to say 81 or 82 was the first time I saw one, there was a kid in my class that had one but they were really not considered nerdy until Revenge of the Nerds came out. I don't remember any nerds being into CB radios, they were into Ham radios :)
Yeah man these are cool, I have an F91W (black plastic), A158W (silver) and A178W (gold) and although I don't wear them all that much, they are super fun. Secret pro tip: girls seem to really like them ;)
Actually, when I showed my ladyfrand this calculator watch, she said "that watch is amazing". She hasn't said that about any other watch lol. I think the F91W is next...ugh why do people have to keep suggesting awesome classic Casios to me! Oh well, I'll get them ALL. Muahahaha!!
Actualy this watch casio ca 53w is the legend watch until 2019...all model casio discountinue...only casio ca 53 w still casio make until 2019 legend watch all in the world know this watch belong to marty mcfly bttf...michael j fox.. i also like this watch even my age 50 years now
Here in New Zealand there is a big chain store (similar to Walmart in the states) that is still selling the CA-53, F91W and about 6 other vintage model Casio digitals. I actually just today bought a CA-53. Aside from being iconic in many movies, namely BTTF, it's functional, and very light and low-profile.....not bulky like G-Shock.
excellent video, I have an equal but this one with a problem, the digits appear like ghost, I already changed the stack but it stays the same, I do not know what to do, some help?
Nice video. Love Casio for years . I'm just wanted to know where did you get the car from back to the Future car ? Thanks for the Video. I'm A Nerd Also
Earlier this year I bought a couple variation of the Casio W800 (black and silver). Had a variation of this calculator watch back in the late 70's. It was pretty cool On another note, now that AB++ has Athena on the way back, the Fak Fak bros making a come back?
Have you checked the SEIKO 5 SNKL55K1? I think it's the dressiest Seiko 5 and that it's pretty unique and well-made. There is only a very plain video on RUclips of a seller of this watch. Nothing close to review.
I have the same watch. Battery is still going after 6 years. I shower and swim in mine with no problems. So it can definitely get wet. And since they are so cheap if it does break just get another for 15 bucks.
the only anime I watch/watched are/were dragon ball, slam dunk, ghost in the shell, ghost fighter, flame of recca, and recently Boku no hero. i want them to feature a seiko one day in an anime ;)
O so you're a 80's kid to like me. :-) Don't like the watch that much, It was good when i was in school a looong time ago. But i definitely love the Delorean, you should review that instead because i want one for ages.
I did a review of the DeLorean but that was back in time. HAH!! Wow. Much Cheese. And yes, grew up in the 80's. Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo, dual cassette players, recording songs from the radio, Mongoose and Diamond back bikes, Lamborghini Countach posters, Miami Vice Testarossa Posters, Kelly LeBroc and Jennifer Connelly ugggh lol.
Yep i still got my Panasonic dual cassette player bro nice memories, and talking about nice Kelly LeBroc was damn nice back then. O how time passes i feel old as fu...k ! :-/
Samwise Gamgee did not carry Frodo’s weak ass up mount doom to be known as “the guy from stranger things”. Good review though. I like the calculator watch.
Two things I've forgotten to mention here is that this watch doesn't have a light and it has drilled lugs!
is there anyway you can change that strap

I have this watch in my collection and love it. It feels good on the wrist and makes me smile for some reason 😊. I'm an 80s kid too 🤓
That watch was the height of coolness when I was a kid. I wanted one SOOO bad!
Also, your menu on this one was spot on!
And also, 5:22... Words of so much wisdom right there!
Because you were a nerd like me? lol. I spent like 10 minutes thinking of that menu. I spent THREE HOURS on the friggin intro! lol. I sometimes can words good.
When I was 10 years old my dad got a Casio calculator watch ca53w btw I’m 10 right now
I still have a Casio Scientific Calculator watch from around 81 or 82 my father gave me. CFX-200
If it all works and is in good condition, it's worth quite a bit. Not as much as the sentimental value, of course. Nice one!
Daniel Noblett You're lucky
I've been trying to get one but nobody sells them
I fell in love with the CFX-200 about a year ago. It was pure luck, but in a year I managed to get two of them, both in nice condition. I may be wrong but as far as I know they came out in 1983.
Never sell something like that, there will always come a time when you regret it.
That is one of the most iconic watches, everybody knows it. I had that one when I was a kid. Great review!
Thanks, Fernando! I appreciate it!

Love this thing, I used to sell it and it was an absolute hit
I wonder how many of these things are stamped out each year :)
minitwatch probably A LOT
Wow! You took me back to my childhood.
Mission accomplished!
Great retro collection you got there. And you found Uncle Jimmy! Woo!
Thanks! And yes, I found them in a puddle near the harbor -_-.
I’ve had mine for years and I shower with it on and have gone swimming with it in the ocean several times, water resistant is an understatement lol

Oh man I loved that watch back in the day. I saved my money for months to get one. The newer version in the 90s could store phone numbers
Stumbled upon your channel. Very nice and comprehensive review...
Kid of the 80's hot watch a must have
Got a CA53W and then decided I wanted a databank like I had in sixth grade. Managed to find a dbc-150 on ebay and boy howdy they are collectible and expensive now!
Nice watch forever and ever
I think I have one of those, but can't remember where I last placed it. Should I get another one online?
my man's be dropping wisdom bombs in a watch review
There's a lot of people saying that it has no light, but if it's exactly the same as it was in the 80', it does have light.
If I remember correctly it was the '7' key while in watch mode.
I'm a ('80s kid) huge fan of BTTF, I have a CA-53, and also have the same Delorean model.😎
Super love your reviews, man.
Don't swim with it? I've worn this thing in a pool and it is fine.
Really? Damn. You're not supposed to 😂 I'm surprised it was okay.

Great review man! Ive just bought a green one!
Heath Ledger wore a CA-53W in The Dark Knight, you can just about see it in the bank heist scene at the beginning.
The best moments of my life that I lived there in the 90s had this watch as a witness (it was the Japanese version) I have nothing more to say
Is there a way to check it's authentic like the f-91w
This is also Mike Wheeler's watch in Stranger Things. Very retro indeed.
Cool review and nicely said! 👌
2:35 I can confirm the stigma. I was there and wanted to have one so badly, lol.
Just got me one recently. Just because I don't know what I did with mines back in the 80s. I forgot how light it was. Like you're not wearing it.
that watch is fresh af and i don't remember the sides of the case having that grooved design. i wonder if that's the one thing they updated
My brother's old 80's CA53 has those same grooves :)

I'm late, but, they wear this watch in Stranger Things too!
Calculate "peanut" LMAO!!!!!
=p Handy lil watch for calculating peanut!
can you review the F91-W? it's a classic!
That and one other will completely my Casio collection. I hope. I'm running out of room! lol

Might get one for school
he messed up at the beginning because the CA-53w wasn't in back to the future it was actually the CA-50w
Yes it was. In the first one it's CA-50W. But CA-53W was used for Back to the future part II and part 3😉

Heath Ledger also wore this watch as the Joker in The Dark Knight.
I would swim with that watch on all the time no problem.
nice use of Final Fantasy 7 sounds
Is it because the module was first designed in 1979 and the calender runs for 100 years? Just a guess.
Hmmm probably so. OR...they knew. hah! No, probably what you said.

Did you say that the 80's was 40 years ago? Did you record this in the future? I think you are really a time traveller.
close enough.
I wore one of those from the early- to mid-'90s all the way until the battery died in the mid-'00s.

Hi, this Retro watch real waterproof.
I think kids wanted this type of watches in the 80s so they can cheat in math classes 😀😀
back to the future
Great scott!
Marty McFly 👏👍👌 and the casio delorean
With all those watches you need to have a F91W!
Actually the classic one had more buttons and a back light.
Please whale kind is?
1er or 1zd?
Whale is the differemce?
Nairobi from la Casa de papel also wears one in the metallic look
Don't forget the f91w

Aw give RWBY a try, It has a clock tower. ruclips.net/video/-sGiE10zNQM/видео.html

How about a tiny Flux capacitor!

Kurt.. Why do you often wear your watch so tight. It's suffocating
Yeah 9/11 shown on the watch... not suspicious at all
