Casio CA-53WF-3B Calculator Green Digital Mens Watch Original New Classic CA-53, 43.2×34.4×8.2mm (CA-53WF-3BDF)

I saw this watch come up in my Amazon feed one night while I was browsing for Christmas gifts, and it gave me a flash back to when I was 9 years old, summer camp, ants on a log and being picked up by my mom at 3:30pm. Talk about nostalgia. I bought three of them, two for gifts to my geeky friends and one for me. Now I feel… sanguine.Anyway. The watch is well made, I mean it’s all mostly plastic but it’s perfectly shaped and radiates mathematical usefulness (like calculating the tip if you’re mathematically challenged) or if you feel the need to forgo your brain, cell phone, computer or calculator to work out equations on a tiny little keyboard on an amazingly small lcd screen. I had to squint my eyes in twenty different ways in order to be able to see what it said, and the odd tannish/darkish color of the screen made it hard to read. The little light on it is appropriately dim but it does work, so long as you only count on it to tell the time at night not use it as a flashlight. It fits well and will probably last a lifetime of wear and tear.All of that said it’s a really cool retro watch and if you want to own a classic I’d buy it. The original black color is pretty smart looking in a dorky, revenge of the nerds kind of way. I can’t promise that it’ll get you laid but I guarantee you that other socially awkward geeky people (speaking for myself here) will think it’s great.

Only issue i have is it has no light...my fault but love color

Perfect, thanks

This watch cannot be rated like one would most products. The main attraction is that it is manufactured at all, and only nostalgia can get you in the right frame of mind to even consider buying one. So let's not talk about how good the water resistance is (I am careful just washing my hands with it... would never take it to the shower), how small the calculator buttons are (they are as I remember them, and maybe even more responsive), or how Casio could have added more features (the waches would not come as cheap if they had).Still, I can't give it five stars because the display is only readable with ease if you are in a very well lit location or room. A more traditional LCD display or a backlight would have been a lot more fun, for a fun watch, rather than straining your eyes, like something similar to indiglo, in a color matching the body of the watch. Remember, Casio, the folks who buy these are likely to be in their late 40s-50s if they are looking for them, so their eyes are not at their best anymore... Anyway, perhaps a few years from now, this hard to read display will be the source of a type of nostalgia of its own...

A button on the particular watch I received never worked. Not a fan of the negative lcd, difficult to read in lower light conditions compared to positive lcd. Like the concept, just the particular one I ordered is one I wouldn’t recommend.

My husband has this watch in multiple colors! He likes to buy one for his friends/coworkers as they pass certain certification tests. The calculator really works!!

The watch is cute. It was smaller than I expected, & the buttons are small, but easy enough to push! I do wish there was a backlight, or that the display was naturally brighter!It’s difficult to see inside & in direct sunlight. The best viewing conditions are actually inside offices & stores with florescent lighting! Funny.If you want a more visible option look for the watch in black with the black LCD display on a white background.

Good watch, gets lots of compliments. No backlight though

I wish it had a backlight, but otherwise, this is just a perfect watch at an incredible price.I have a thousand+ dollar Tissot watch that hasn't left the cabinet once because of how much I love this Casio.

cumple su funcion

Dei de presente pra meu pai, pra quem gosta de nostalgia e sempre sonhou com este modelo vai apreciar bastante. Amazon como sempre de parabens, produto e entrega impecável, recomendo.

Don’t buy this. As the title says if you need a watch that you can actually see the display on then this is not it.Indoors or slightly darker setting sand you can’t even see it. Pointless.

Clásico con estetica renovada y recibido en tiempo record
