CasioCasio Collection Men's Watch CA-53W-1ER

Great watch with a huge nostalgia hit, how can you go wrong?Marty Mcfly and Walter White approved straight out of the box.With a long history behind it this watch could easily be a victim of its own success by being left behind by the march of technology but there is still a place for this little charmer.The calculator comes in handy even if the buttons do need a bit of care to use.You get two time zones a stopwatch with split time, alarm and day date calendar.So not ground breaking but a good solid performer, much has been said about the lack of back-light but you get used to not having it.You won't be diving with this watch but washing your hands or getting caught in the rain isn't a catastrophe.So if your looking for a practical watch with good useful features and the added bonus of the movie and TV fame but not a huge budget then this could be the watch for you.It was for me.

No I haven't got a Delorean but this watch does take me back to my childhood, and everyone else that sees it. Pure old school retro geek watch. The keypad reminds me of my old ZX Spectrum!Functionality minimum, if you want to see it in the dark turn a light on or find a torch. If you want to know what the date is you have to switch to the date screen. The buttons are so small using the calculator is an exercise in dexterity and you could probably use the tiny writing in an eyesight test!But let's be honest, we didn't buy it for functionality. We bought it because it's cool, old Skool, worn by Marty in BTTF and we can write stuff on the calculator to entertain our inner child and the kids/grandkids!

I wear this watch often. It's cool and has some nice features. It is a dual time-zone watch, so you can set a second time zone, which I actually find handy as my family lives on the other side of the world and it saves me doing mental arithmetic to check whether its a reasonable time to call. Also, despite having a smaller screen than the F91W, the full date (day, month, year) is able to be seen at the touch of a button - so it actually provides more info than the F91W.

So if you like nostalgia and in particular back to the future you will love this watch, its a blast from the past, simple and the original calculator watch so is practical and functional too. The quality of the product is good i can imagine over time the strap becoming damaged by the clasp taking the watch off and putting back on, but that would be a few years from now i think. There is no back light on the display at all so defo retro feel shame as it would be almost perfect if it had one so you could check in low light or in the dark. Functions - 2 clock options to set different times on (in sure there is a use for this but i can't think of one, maybe travel?!) there is a stop watch with lap functionality. The date can be displayed and there is a calculator too. You can set an alarm and the watch will omitt a high pitch beeping. You can also set it to beep the hour too. Overall the watch is exactly as expected and in comparison to the smart watches around today it is extremely light. The reason for the drop of a star is because the packaging was not the best experience it felt like a whole sale version rather than a retail one. Came in a plastic bag no case or casio box so that was a bit underwhelming if I'm honest. Do i recommend the watch absolutely. Are there better experiences possible for the delivery and packaging? Absolutely. But if apl you care about is the watch then just buy it. Job done.

This watch is absolutely awesome. It has lasted me almost 2-3 years and never ran into any problems with it.

Perfect, back too basics and great value for the money. So good I bought a second one for my son.

I had one of these watches when I was a lad at school back in the mid late 80s.It's more or less the same apart from having no backlight and is missing the GA mode (number invader game)Other than that it's a very close to the original.I understand they had to redesign the internal components because this particular type of watch could be used as a countdown timer in bomb making, so for that I can forgive them for taking it off the market and modifying it.Very happy with this watch overall, took to it like a duck to water as I still remembered how my old watch worked.Looks smart on the wrist and is not too big. Comes in a nice little box with instruction book. Very happy to have my old watch back again after all these years.

The watch is very nice, but it looks way bigger in photos (on someone's wrist) than it actually is.Watch design is very slim, therefore it looks small in person. I was hesitating to buy the Casio DBC-32 because it looked too big(bulky) for my taste.I knew all the features and the flaws of this watch before buying it, so I'm not complaining. Just pointing out some details.Hopefully I'm giving a good piece of advice for a future buyer who has not decided which calculator watch to buy.For those who worry about the size just go with this watch (CA-53W). For others - I'd suggest to go for the DBC-32 version.The DBC-32 is backlit which is a simple yet a very useful feature and has bigger display. Don't worry about the size so much, because this watch (CA-53W) is much smaller than it looks in pictures, so I assume the DBC-32 version must be not that big too.Pros of the CA-53W:Very slim - the watch itself and the strap.Buttons are way more comfortable to use than I imagined they would be.Light.Cons -Strap is slim therefore feels weak. Depending on the lifestyle it feels as if it could last years or just a week.Overall experience:I enjoy this retro watch. Using the calculator function quite often just because I can!. Size is perfect. If it had the backlit I wouldn't even have second thoughts about DBC-32.
