Product Description
Casio's DBC310-1 men's databank watch is ideal for busy people who love the convenience of having telephone numbers and other essential data right at their fingertips. The watch lets you store 300 pages of either Telememo (names, telephone numbers) or Schedule-memo (messages, months, days, times) data with up to 8 digits and 12 numerals per page. A built-in keypad facilitates data entry, and its EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) retains your data even when the battery goes dead. So don't worry: you'll never have to retype it all.

Your eyes will like the DBC310-1's electro-luminescent backlight with afterglow, making it easy to read anywhere, anytime. View time in either 12- or 24-hour formats. The piece is water-resistant, and it offers a stopwatch with readings down to .01 seconds. It's accurate within +/- 30 seconds per month, and the supplied battery should last you about 2 years. Other features include a daily alarm, a countdown alarm, hourly time signals, and an auto-calendar feature (preprogrammed to the year 2094).

Watch, battery, instruction manual, and warranty information

Product Description
Before the Casio DataBank Series debuted, it was thought that a watch should indicate the time of day, and nothing more. The DataBank DBC310-1 tells you what time it is, to be sure, but also keeps track of where you need to be and when--and who you'll meet when you get there. This handsome, water resistant chronometer/scheduler features EEPROM memory protection and electro-luminescent backlighting. Measuring capacity - 23 - 59'59 - 99 World time 24 time zones, city code display Daylight savings time on/off 8-digit calculator 8-digit arithmetic function (four basics, constants, memory calculations) Countdown alarm Daily alarm Hourly time signal Auto-calendar (pre-programmed to the year 2094) 12/24-hour formats Low power indicator Accuracy - +/- 15 seconds per month Battery life - approximately 2 years on CR2016

Reader Reviews
I have been buying these watches because you can enter appointments into the watch's memory using its keyboard rather than having to rely on a PC-based interface. The watch also has stopwatch and timer functions that I like. Other watches seem to lack this particular functionality. They rely on PC's to do the input which is inconvenient when you don't have a PC around. Five stars for functionaliy. Now to the problem. The body is weak. Typically the part where the pin holding the wrist strap is anchored to breaks off after about two years because the body is plastic. The gasket keeping the watch somewhat water-resistant distends. I wish they'd put this watch in a G-shock body. One star for robustnes. Overall 3 stars. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
