This watch saved my daughter one day, I had my phone number stored in this watch as a joke, but one day my kid got lost and she was wearing this and she remembered that and she asked someone to call this number and that’s how I go her back. Don’t underestimate the memo feature on this watch trust me. My daughter now wears this watch daily. It’s her first watch.
I miss this watch. Got it back around 2006. According to amazon here in the US, it shows release date mid 2005. Glad to see its still being made so I can pick up a new one at a fair price.
I don't believe it is still being made, not by Casio at least. Casio don't sell it on their website and no official dealers sell it. I suspect the Amazon Databanks are fake.
Something I would love from a watch in this style is a pared down personal organiser. Let me just think out loud about the data I would need, keeping it as minimal as possible. I think 16 agenda items would be enough. Starting date and time (20 bits: 11 bits for hours and mins, 5 bits for day, 4 bits for month) Recurring: False, Daily, Weekly, Monthly (only for days 1-28). (2 bits) Alarm: Off, Short, Long. (2 bit). The "Short" alarm would be a single chime to notify you, whereas the "Long" alarm would repeat until deactivated. Text: 8 characters (6 bytes: Each character 6 bits) Total: 16 (6B + 2b + 2b + 20b) = 16 (9B) = 144 Bytes 144 Bytes is hugely conservative, seeing as 64 kbit (8 kByte) EEPROMS are dirt cheap (42p each) and only have a square footprint of 3 mm². Even if we beefed up the agenda items to 16 Bytes each (allowing for twice as many text characters), and stored 32 items instead of 16, that's still only 512 Bytes total. == Extra Features == * Reschedule days agenda: This lets you simultaneously change the date for all agenda items with the same specified starting date. Useful if for example you work on a rotating shift pattern and need to switch working days quickly. * Clone agenda item * Clone days agenda

Ive just ordered the resin case version of this ...with having the DBC-611 & CA-53 its rude not get this in its Original resin version...Did buy the metal bracelet version a yr ago for a present and he loves it... These in my opinion is the best functional calculator version Casio offer..Do love me DBC611 & the CA-53 wow u cannot NOT have one in your collection and did have the older version in the 80s calculator watch think it was a 100 or 55 summit like that... But these DBC32s are a true modern take on the very 1st CALC's & Data banks in one ....As for the DBC-611 i wished casio did it again in the CHROME look version as well as the matt variant only available..Yes its plastic still but the chrome looking variant wow !!! Great honest review of an ICONIC vintage collectors piece !!
I have submerged this watch in my bathtub for hours, pressed every single button under water, rinsed it thoroughly and it works perfect. This watch is waterproof. Well, I haven't taken it down to the Titanic, it might have done that, too. 😅 Casio's WR-Ratings, or lack thereof, are an enigma.
Ha ha thank you for sharing that. I am sure that most Casio's have some sort of water protection but I don't know why they don't advertise the fact on this watch as I do get a few questions as to wether this watch can be submerged under water or not. Cheers, Tony - WTA
I don't think that it mentioned any form of water resistance so I would probably not wear it if you are looking to do anything that would include the watch getting wet. I may be wrong in saying that but thats what I remember standing out to me when I was looking at this watch. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Hi there and thank you for your very kind comment. If you click on the link below it will take you off to the instruction manual via the Casio website for the instructions as to how to use the Casio DBC-32. About half way down (just above the alarms section) it mentions how to mute the keypad tone but I think that's all it will mute. support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw2888.pdf Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Hi there and thank you for your question. At this moment in time I am unable to give a worthwhile opinion as I only have the Casio DBC-32 and not the other Casio calculator watch you have mentioned. Once I get hold of the Casio 53W I will gladly compare the two button setups and get back you with my findings. Sorry I can’t be of any more help. Cheers, Tony - WTA
By personal experience, I found the buttons of CA 53 and the newer CA 56/506 are better for the calculator functions. They protrude just right to be used faster and more accurate. But they lacked in the display i.e no day/date and no illumination. I wouldn't recommend the CA 53 with negative display too. You'll be lucky to be able to tell time in a shade.
@@EffendiChung Pontosan így gondolom én is. Véleményem szerint a Casio üzletpolitikája miatt van ez. Már nem gyárt teljes funkcionalitású órát, így valamilyen funkció mindig hiányozni fog. És ezért az emberek további órákat fognak vásárolni, mert reménykednek, hogy az új az biztosan jó lesz. Sajnos ha olyan órát akarsz, ami mindent tud, akkor időben visszafelé kell menni.

Thank you for your question. From my understanding a calculator is a device that carries out mathematical calculations. A databank is a feature of a device (in this case the Casio DBC-32) that can store an amount of data within its predetermined memory bank, in this case numbers and characters. Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA

I am working on it and I will aim for it to be up before Christmas. It is a complicated watch to explain and with my other job getting busy I haven't had much time, which I am really sorry about. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Casio's new Databank series watch are very ugly and seems less atractive when you compare with original databank series watches from 90's. I really do not understand why Casio doesn't produce previous versions as before.
You should check out the Casio CA-53W, as it is a super comfortable watch to wear but the only downside is that it doesn't have as many functions as the Casio DBC-32. Cheers, Tony - WTA
It is a shame and I think that Casio could have done a little more to make this watch resistant to water as it is a great watch on the whole. Cheers, Tony - WTA

Just being curious, why would your daughter not just call the police when she is lost?
@@jannieschluter9670 why would her call the police if she can call who the police are going to serch and call?
@@alvaroelmanco43 he said that the watch SAVED his daughter. All she must do is to call the police. No "saving" of the watch. It was mere convenience.
Soo nice
Beautiful story 😭 Casio watches really are godsend
I am 47 and had the old model when I was a child and now i want this model made off titanium with a sapphire crystal and 20 bar water resistant.
Qual modelo feito de titânio?? Envie o link por favor
@brunopill9777 dije que deseo uno. No existe 🤣😅
Good brand...
I also still using Casio DBC-61 Japan original
It's still working perfectly..
It's more than 32 years old...
Perfect working

I have 2 of these, could attest that it survived multiple direct rainfall. I Never have them submerged though.
Hello is it Water resistant?
If my memory serves me correctly I don’t think it is.

This watch is great. I really like the weight of the stainless steel.
It's plastic painted silver, I own the silver one and it's overpriced
How much is the water resistance???
I don't think that it mentioned any form of water resistance so I would probably not wear it if you are looking to do anything that would include the watch getting wet. I may be wrong in saying that but thats what I remember standing out to me when I was looking at this watch.

I brought it today. Is it water resistant?????
From memory, I don' think that the Casio DBC-32 has any Water Resistance built in.

Hi, I bought this but I haven't test it during the rainpour. Is it as good as other standard Casio? Thx.
It is a great watch with a lot of functionality. Personally I would just keep it away from water just in case.

Difference between calculator and databank?? Thanks.
Thank you for your question. From my understanding a calculator is a device that carries out mathematical calculations. A databank is a feature of a device (in this case the Casio DBC-32) that can store an amount of data within its predetermined memory bank, in this case numbers and characters.

You know what a calculator is. The data bank can store phone numbers. The regular non data bank calculator can't store phone numbers
What is your wrist size?
My wrist size is 6.5 inches.

I have this watch it's just super lightweight , didn't like the strap tbh
I suggest you refrain from flippin' the watch around so flippin' much.

The metal version is plastic, save yourself some money and get the black one
