 So far so good! Jun 14, 2010
I always wanted one of these Casio calculator watches...now that I have one I'm not disappointed! I reviewed all of the different models and this one seemed to have the least amount of complaints. Its not mentioned, but the numbers on the buttons themselves are printed under the surface, so there's no need to worry about scratching them off by typing with your fingernails. The durability of the letters/alternate function guides surrounding the buttons I'm not sure...it looks like its a single (metallic?) sticker and I would imagine the printing shouldn't wear off anytime soon. Its a bit difficult to keep the buttons held down for viewing the most recent Schedule (+/MC button) or Telememo (+/M+ button), but I think it just takes some getting used to as it's getting easier for me. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and I'm really appreciating the little Schedule indicator at the top (beats carrying around a planner)!
 Nice watch Jun 01, 2010
I dont have anything important about this watch, I like it and I buy it. its just a watch. no problems with it.
An Old Favorite May 13, 2010
This is the fourth one of these I have owned so it is obvious, I like this watch.
It has great features but they have not been updated or added to in years. I wish it would tie into the atomic clock because it does tend to be a few minutes off over time. I also wish you could view a full monthly calendar.
Finally, and most importantly, I wish they would make a real metal case. The "metal case" they have is just plastic one made to look like metal. ALL of my replacements have been necessary because the plastic cases failed where the band pins are inserted so you cannot put the band back on. Not convenient as a pocket watch!
Each time I had the case break, I have looked for a different watch with all the features of this watch, especially the appointments, but haven't found one that had all of them or I would have tried it.
Great Watch Feb 22, 2010
This is a great inexpensive and utilitarian watch. I use it not only to tell time but to set alarms for naps and to enter and have a list of important phone numbers.
outdated Feb 14, 2010
Casio has been making similar watches for a long time. They have not listened to the complaints about the wristband pins coming loose. The rubber wristband suggests a water resistant watch, but none of the current batch are listed as such at the Casio web site- and the rubber band just looks & feels cheap. Some still have problems with lettering rubbing off. Casio has made only (and few) trivial changes over the decades. After what Apple did to the cell phone industry you would think that Casio would want to move quickly into the 21st century. An iWatch would crush Casio Databank sales.
But if you want info on your wrist today what other options are there? I've been generally happy with mine over many years. I swim & shower with them (though I'm not sure if that is possible with the new one I'm going to buy). The glass crystal on my last one has only one tiny scratch while the plastic case is pretty beat up. I can still read all the printing on my old 300. The protected memory becomes very important when you have a lot stored in there. My 300 was waterproof until I changed the battery the second time. The rubber seal loses its shape and probably should be replaced and lubricated with each battery change.
I agree with another reviewer that the weekly reminders at the top of the window are a waste of real estate- the important info should be much larger and easier to read. And why are they still using the crude seven segment display characters when we've had proper LCD displays available for decades? Information could be presented with more flexibility on a high res display.
I recently purchased a similar Casio model which has no name- it is simply called 'Module No. 2888'. It has calculator and a bigger display of useful information and a 10yr battery life but it has many flaws- not water resistant, plastic crystal that will scratch badly, no alphabetic input buttons... I will return it and buy another 300 model unless Apple produces an iWatch in the next few days.
Here's a tip: switch immediately to a twistoflex type wristband for your Databank. I believe that occasional pulling stress on the (unflexible) rubber band weakens the holes that hold the pins. My Speidel band has been on all my Casios for around 25 years and the pinholes are in good shape. The alternative is to set the original rubber band very loose which you may find uncomfortable.
