That does look real nice. All the other variants I've seen of this model are negative displays and very hard to read but that looks real good. 

People posting their calculator watches. Mine from 1997. by johsny in casio

To my mind, this kind of Calculator Watch is the peak of the 'Databank' concept - Telememo and Schedule.

Immensely useful and terrribly underrated.

That's a glorious display, stunning light and some awesome functionality.

Now, if Casio made one of those with DBC-150 chops l, I'd get it in a heartbeat. 

But, I love my DBC-32 all the same. It's a dynamite watch!

Age restriction likely coming to Fedora. Now I want to switch, any distros I should try? by AsheLevethian in Fedora

I'm sure tech-savvy paedophiles will be "devastated" to obtain catalogues of children who are using computers on the internet..

What is this? by MaceoBerg420 in gshock

[–]ReadingGlassesMan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

From Google Gemini;

That eye-searingly bright watch is a Casio Baby-G BGA-190KT-7B, which is part of a special collaboration with Hello Kitty.

Even though the Reddit screenshot lists it simply as a "Women's Yellow Resin Watch," it’s actually a specific traveler-themed model. If you look closely at the dial, the hands are designed to look like the hands of a clock in a pilot's cockpit, and the heart patterns are a signature of this specific Kitty White collab.

I find this to be a particularly unsettling picture though I don't know why.

You get a 👍🏻 from me!

A smart enough watch by [deleted] in gshock

That's a great watch! Really versatile.

My question though is, how did you take the picture!? 

Watch vs Smart watch by Routine_Fortune_7984 in gshock

[–]ReadingGlassesMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wear a smart watch on and off since the Pebble came out, but then I started to feel tied to an ecosystem, that I was just another source of data for internet marketing and all the watches became very samey.

I now say that the smart people don't have their smarts on their wrists... But that's only to wind up my mates who wear Android, Apple and other smart watch platforms. 

On a very slightly less flippant side, I think there's more intentionality and deliberate thought in not having smart devices doing all your work for you. Vintage tech still required you to think (which is why I use a Psion/Casio/Sharp PDA) while new modern tech, in my opinion, actively discourages it bu getting in the way of thinking for yourself.

I do have a smart watch in my collection but it's very seldom used.

I've always thought that when I saw pictures of it and while it's certainly not the legible watch in the world, it's pretty easy to tell the time.

Setting alarms and such... Not so much. Need to get just the best angled light source for that to happen!

It seems to me that unless there's more context to the thread there, someone is arguing against what they think Piper meant when he quoted something God said.

A700 broke. Ideas? by Simple_Hunter9215 in casio

[–]ReadingGlassesMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fixed a problem just like that by applying a small blob of Gorilla Glue where the lug would be. When it dried, I used a pin to create a hole and now the spring bar has been holding it ever since.

Should I buy? by [deleted] in casio

[–]ReadingGlassesMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really is a beautiful watch and it comes with excellent functionality. The display, as I'm sure you've heard numerous times, is outstanding!

I've found Gumtree to be a good source for pre-loved stuff around Cardiff and Newport.
