The Casio Story

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.

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

This review is from: Casio Men's DB37HD-7AV Multilingual Databank Bracelet Watch (Watch)

This was my fourth databank watch in the last 13 years. I am hard on my equipment. Like many before it, it stores simple information quickly and easily. I miss the password function of previous models, but it does what is says it does. With identity theft becoming commonplace, I would not keep any very important data in this watch as it is not protected. The buttons are solid and for a "techie", it is not too hard to figure out how to enter and retrieve data. It has traditional Casio reliability and accuracy. My only complaint is the lack of adjustability of the watchband, but another one could be installed to fix that. I recommend this item highly.

Owned 2 Data Bank 150 watches over the years, and just had great service from them. I found that I don't need that many phone numbers and do not need the calculator. Just love the DB37HD-7AV and the metal strap is quite an improvement over the plastic straps on the DB150.

Great watch, looks great, impressive service (arrived in 2 days), great price. It replaced a similar Casio databank watch with a plastic band (replaced several times) that I'd had for about 15 years, that finally gave up the ghost on the second battery change. The instructions with the new watch did not show how to adjust the links in the metal watch band, but I found instructions on the internet which made it quite easy and straightfoward. I expect this one to last longer than 15 years, and I won't have to buy replacement bands.
