Casio

Post by Rudi »

A friend and I were discussing wrist watches and we came to talking about the heydays calculator watches....
I did a Google search for a Casio DataBank, the model I recall wearing in my youth, and to my surprise the watch is labeled as being in the "NERDS museum" :yikes:

this is almost exactly the make and model I wore so many years back!

So much more previous (September 1975) was the Sinclair Black Watch.
You could buy it ready-built for £24.95.

How reassuring! "anybody who can use a soldering iron can assemble a Black Watch without difficulty"

(I usually manage to melt or fuse things using a soldering iron)
