Product Description

Record information, calculate with ease and keep track of appointments. This watch makes it all possible with its 25-page databank, 8-digit calculator and 5 multi-function alarms (with text). All of this with the added bonus of a 10-year battery. Black Databank Watch featuring 10-Year Battery.

Casio

With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward.

I'm a huge fan of the Databank series; both because of functionality and aesthetic. I had the CA-53W for awhile, and decided I'd "upgrade". I put the word upgrade in quotes because although this model has a light and a phone book (which I think is really cool!), it drops water resistance from the previous model. I showered with the old watch everyday, even scuba dived in the Grand Cayman Islands (despite the manual saying you shouldn't), and it's perfectly fine to this day, almost a year later. This watch has the look that I like, also a bunch of neat functions, but the loss of water resistance is unfortunate because otherwise I believe it would be perfect.EDIT: 20170614The individual keys on the pad are a bit harder to push down, surprisingly, than the previous model. They also seem to be a tough sort of plastic, unlike the rubber feel of the CA-53W. For what it is does though, I still believe the product is worth 4 stars.EDIT: 20170619Over the past week, I've noticed the wristband is a bit squeaky. Also, I've been steadily taking this watch with me in the shower/bath, sometimes fully submerged, and no signs of water damage at all (i.e water under the screen, buttons not working, etc).EDIT: 20171028My watch is still very much functional/reliable, even with showering everyday with it. It's accrued a couple of scratches on the screen, but nothing too crazy. About a month ago, I went to look at the time and noticed a bunch of jibberish (random characters) on the screen. However, pushing one of the buttons cleared it and that problem hasn't happened again since.As I've used the phone book more, I've come to realize it's a shame the numbers don't double as a keyboard, kind of like a phone, or T9.Again, I use this watch everyday, and will continue to do so until a better Databank model is released. (Hopefully with a light and guaranteed water resistance).EDIT: 20180926The timepiece is still going strong! I haven't had any "jibberish" issues since the last edit. I shower daily with the watch, even go swimming and go in the steam room/sauna, yet still no problems i.e; all buttons are functional, and light still works. However, I've had to replace both bands due to degradation. The one with the clasp gave out months ago, and the other with the holes actually cracked in half (sorry, I never thought to take pictures) recently. Luckily, Casio sells exact identical bands for really cheap. The reinstallation is a little frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of it, all future installs are a breeze. In my small collection, this watch remains my favorite.In case you're curious where I got my replacement bands, go here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LGN54W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1EDIT: 20190818After two years and some change, this piece remains my daily driver. I've taken it off and used another for a total of a month... at most. Yet, it keeps on ticking (pun definitely intended). Even with me going diving again (about 5-10 meters), the watch is entirely functional. Because of that, I have to give the watch 5 stars. There's no reason not to. I do, however, have some additional notes [read: very small nitpicks] I hope Casio can address in the next iteration:1. I've replaced the band twice in two years. My first replacement was with the aforementioned official Casio resin band, and the second replacement was with an unofficial Casio band. So, I guess I hope they'll be able to increase the durability of their official band as I much prefer that to the one I currently use.2. Having to use my finger nails to push the keys in on the keypad, there's permanent grooves [or indents] on them. No big deal though.The "jibberish" issue I had was truly an anomaly, as I haven't experienced since then.So yeah, a phenomenal watch for a phenomenal price. I'm still a huge fan of the series, and eagerly awaiting the next version!Changing headline from "Almost perfect" to "Perfect".EDIT: 20240324In one of the above notes, I mentioned a genuine replacement band for this watch. After a 5 year hiatus from this masterpiece, I was ecstatic to return! Real quick, for those curious, the watch was still ticking and was only a few days off with the correct year. That really surprised me.Anyway, I soon realized I lost the replacement bands and spring bars that I had. Which brings me to the reason I am updating this post after my last...When I got my new replacement bands, about 4ish days ago, I was ready to get home from work and slap this bad boy back on my wrist! The link I posted years ago had a massive oversight though... If, for whatever reason, you lose your watch's spring bars (the metal piece inside the watch straps to keep it attached to chronograph), the replacements that Casio provides (again, linked above) do not include them. I cannot fathom a single good reason why these essential pieces would be omitted. Only thing I can think of is Casio wanting the consumer to buy an entirely new watch. But I am here to help negate that! So, go here for some spring bars, and with a tool to boot. I haven't bought them yet, but it seems like a good kit:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CYPVGWY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2T1L5956FRSLP&psc=1I will be purchasing these soon and will provide an update.As for the DBC-32 itself, I had honestly considered dropping the score down because of the company's bad practices, but I believed it wouldn't be right because it is truly an amazing watch, remains at 5 stars. So, yeah...until next time.EDIT: 20240325The spring bar kit already arrived. I got the watch slapped on my wrist and good to go now. I used the 22mm spring bar (I believe that’s also stated in the product’s info). I now have a kit full of spring bars that I’ll never go through in an entire two lifetimes, but it’s good peace of mind. I recommend purchasing the aforementioned kit if you lost your spring bar.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wearable Mini-Museum of 1980s Technology
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023
In a world of sleek, minimalist watches, the Casio DBC32-A1 stands out like a sore thumb – or should I say, a calculator on a wrist. This retro marvel is not just a timekeeper; it's a gateway to a bygone era of beep-boops, secret codes, and the sheer joy of pressing tiny buttons.

With its databank capabilities, you can store phone numbers, addresses, and even world time zones, transforming your wrist into a mini-encyclopedia. The calculator, a relic of the pre-smartphone age, is a nostalgic reminder of a time when we didn't have apps for everything. And let's not forget the stopwatch, perfect for timing your daily sprints (or your kid's tantrums).

The Casio DBC32-A1 is not for the faint of heart. It's bold, it's brash, and it's sure to get you noticed. But in a world of social media and digital interactions, the Casio DBC32-A1 is a refreshingly analog way to connect with others. Strike up a conversation with someone who remembers these watches from childhood or simply marvel at the intricate design together.

The Casio DBC32-A1 is a piece of horological history. It's a collector's item, a conversation starter, and a reminder of the simple joys of life. So swap out the band for something you like (22mm fits on these bad boys but it must be thin, I'm rocking a 22mm checkered Perlon band), strap on this retro gem, and head back to a time when beep-boops were the coolest sound in town.
