Calculator watches first appeared in the Mid 1970s introduced by Pulsar[1][2] and Hewlett Packard. Several watch manufacturers have made calculator watches over the years, but the Japanese electronics company Casio produced the largest variety of models. Thus, Casio is considered the main player in CWs. In the mid-1980s, Casio created the Data Bank calculator watch, which not only performed calculator functions, but also stored appointments, names, addresses, and phone numbers. Currently, Casio sells only a few pure CWs (e.g. CA-53W) and considers a calculator as merely a function on their Data Bank watches. The eData version of its Data Bank watch, featuring the aforementioned storage capabilities, also has greater memory and the ability to store computer passwords.
Databank collection offers two basic kinds of watches: ones that contain a multi-lingual function which translates calendar data into over a dozen languages, and the classic calculator, with an extended case incorporating a miniature number keypad below the LCD screen. The former type is round, while the latter is rectangular (square). I once owned such a watch.
Casio ’s limited edition calculator watch is so nerdy it should be a character in The Big Bang Theory. Fortunately, it has been infused with G-Shock toughness, which somewhat offsets its bully magnet looks. Available in 4 nerdtastic colors, it has data storage capabilities and a calculator, as well as a currency converter and a calendar.
