CASIO DBC310-1 DataBank Men's Watch Review

This is the best of the databank series in terms of functionality, but not the best in ergonomics.

With 300 data set shared memory, you can have any combination of phone numbers or alarm schedules that will ring perpetually or once. This watches' design has not changed in over 10 years after a generation of prior versions with less memory, true metal casings, incandescent lighting, or a flat keyboard that did not have letters fade, leading to the pros and cons of this model. I've had this one particular model for over 10 years and several Casios like it over the past 20 years.

PROs

300 item shared memory
LCD back lighting saves battery life
Flash memory for memos/schedules, won't disappear with a battery change
consistent 2 year battery life even with all the alarms ON
stop watch
timer
world time
calculator
alarm clock
Screw-on case allows user to change battery easily
takes shock abuse
Accurate to within a minute a month, often less

CONs

Water resistant not water proof

Resin case will break after exposure to sweat for years. I found replacing the strap with a 'The Band' style velcro straps protects the case from sweat. I now have the same watch unblemished over 10 years old.

Resin strap will crack and break in under 2 years. Change it to something like 'The Band'.

Silk screen lettering on keyboard fades

Small LCD fonts can be hard on older eyes

Somewhat difficult to learn to use, at first
