What a cool piece. I'm 33, so I'm just old enough to remember this watch being the coolest thing in the mid 80s, then progress to something only nerds and dorks would wear, then fade into obscurity. But since it's now 2017 and it's cool to be a geek again, this is now so nerdy it's awesome. I put it on a cool NATO style
strap, and this watch gets as many compliments and is as fun to wear as my nice, conventional watches. It's the best style statement you can make for 17 bucks.
BUY NOWFunctionality wise, it's awesome. Calculator, stopwatch, and dual time zones. No backlight, however. But overall, what a quality piece. I love it!
The Best Watch
this is literally the best watch. ever. no debate there. i've worn it every single day since i bought it 10 months ago and it still brings me immense joy whenever i look down at it. the functions are relatively easy to use and it's durable and secure. i adore this watch and get a LOT of compliments about it, because, y'know, calculator watches are literally the best thing to ever be created by mankind, if not the only good thing. i absolutely recommend this glorious watch. it has gotten me through dark times and helps me calculate tax in even the most difficult situations. also, it's really fun to make it say "8008135" and then show it to my friends and family. you would think that would get old after 10 months straight but it's still hilarious and nobody can tell me otherwise. if you want a high-quality, affordable, and surprisingly entertaining timepiece, my professional opinion is BUY THIS WATCH. you will NOT regret it.
I'm a pretty heavy user
first used this watch on my first Pacific crossing as a Captain on a B-747-400 in 1989. It has made many crossings: Teipei; Honkong; Manila; NRT; BOK; SYD; AKL; et.al. I have used it for fuel calculations verifying company generated flight plans. Used it crossing the Atlantic to Heathrow, then on to New Dehli. Water calculations, too, adding water ballast for sailplane racing. 1 gallon weighs 8.33#. My ship carries up to 50 gallons. I have probably bought 20-30, using them for gifts. Sometimes right off my wrist. Bands tend to break for me after several years. I'm a pretty heavy user. Now for sailing, I reach down to clean milfoil off my rudder. One leaked, but works fine after drying it out for an hour or two. I keep that one for dry land use, only. Though, it is hard to tell them apart after you clean the buttons with a tooth brush. I always keep an extra two or three in my chest of drawers. I give it 10 out of 10 stars. I fear the day they go out of production
Out with the New, In with the Retro!
Wish this watch could calculate cos and sin and exponential powers.... jk. I am not that smart and this helps me add and subtract when I run out of fingers and toes to count with. It also has a retro look to it that I think matches my personality. I get compliments on it all the time. I am use to wearing g-shock watches so was worried about the durability of this watch. However, after wearing the watch for over 4 months, I can attest that this watch not only looks nice, but is built well. I also have a newborn and I like how it doesn't always "bonk" against my son's head since it is low-profile (my g-shock had a big watch head and would constantly hit against my son's head).
Don't expect to be able to calculate and figure out dark matter with this watch, but wearing it makes you look like you could
Blast from the past!
My husband is the proud owner of this totally superfluous watch that serves zero function except to decorate his wrist and alert us when it’s 4:20. His “shall I calculate that?” quips are also hysterical, since even the simplest addition is ten times faster on his smart phone. The laughs have made this item worth every penny spent. Also, it looks cute, but that might just be his face.
The only thing I'm missing now is a fanny pack
Man this thing brings back memories. It was the coolest thing ever in the 3rd grade, it's a little smaller than i remember but in a good way it's thin and light I hardly notice I'm wearing it. I work in a custom fabrication shop and I use a calculator multiple times a day typically with my smart phone and i have a bad habit of leaving it everywhere other then where I need it so I got this to alleviate the problem and look cool all at the same time. I read reviews where people complain it doesn't have a light on it but who needs a calculator in the dark and as for time there's very few instances where I personally need to know what time it is in the dark unless I was in bed but then I would just look at my clock if I was driving at night I would still look at cars clock if no clock was around I would pull out my phone so the no light doesn't bother me one bit.
Best Calculator Watch
Best bang for your buck right here. As soon as I put this on I was transported back to 1985, and when I looked up I saw myself in the mirror and found myself to be wearing what seemed to be a life preserve while underneath there was a jean jacket and short sleeve button up. As soon as I got my bearings, I turned around and noticed a large white vehicle open up and reveal a smaller, silver, space looking vehicle which rolled out onto the street. Once the silver vehicle came to a stop, I noticed it looked even more like a spaceship than I though, and all of a sudden the doors swung open and crazy, maniacal older gentleman came out screaming about something called a Gigawatt. He seemed overly excited and pulled plutonium out of nowhere. Then, without warning, some dudes rolled through in a van and shot the old guy up. Standing there thinking, "WTF?!" I ran to the spaceship car, sped up to around 88 mph, and then all of a sudden transported back to 2019. cheap watches watch sale discount watches sports watches automatic watches gold watches affordable watches designer watches low price watch digital watch
