 top notch for functionality & value October 11, 2004

I have had this unit's previous model, the DBC-150, for about 5 years. I am not easy on watches, this watch has been worn swimming, biking, construction work, I now build cabinetry and use the calculator all the time for quick calculations. If I'm with a customer and they give me a phone # when my laptop isn't turned on, I simply punch 2 buttons then enter in the phone # for later viewing, if I want to make multiple scedules and be reminded at a certian time, no problem. For the money, I haven't found a better watch for me. I will tell you that I don't think it looks nice enough to wear to church, I wear a less functional but nicer looking watch for that!
Databank DBC-150 - is there a better watch? January 31, 2007

This watch is about the cheapest high-utility watch available. I bought one of the first Databank watches in 1984 and it lasted 13 or 14 years (yes, I'm an ultrageek) then a broken key forced me to update to the DBC-150. Except that the band breaks every 1-2 years from drying out (replace with Timex TX22G3 band ~$8), I can't recommend a better watch.
-Main clock
-stopwatch to 23h59m
-countdown timer from up to 23h59m w/ autorepeat function
-4-function calculator with single memory
-150 memory memo each with 8 alphanumeric + 12 numeric per memory (a little tedious to create a memo but no more than any other watch)
-one general alarm
-alarmed scheduler (12 alphanumberic event name, trigger date/time) with memory shared with memory (e.g. if you have 50 memos, you can have 100 scheduled titled alarms)
-26 zone world-time with dual-display; can be set independent of the main clock (dual display of main clock and world-time - one look while traveling keeps you time oriented)
-illuminator total back-light (doubles as a flashlight in extreme darkness)
Beware that this watch takes a 22mm replacement band but not all 22mm bands will work - the axle cowling of the watch body allows only a band with thin axle loops which are uncommon with most replacement sport bands. Department stores tends to be sold out so if you want to buy mail-order, be sure to get a Timex TX22G3 ($8) or the DB series black-resin band from Casio (usually $15-$25).
the only watch i own.. January 10, 2004

I bought this watch for the first time in Chinatown NYC in 1994. Because I scratch it after a few years (3 or 4 in average), I replace it everynow and then.
I got my last one in downtown Miami for $50 last summer.It features, 150 phones/schedules, calculator, alarm, time zones, timer, stop watch.. nice display, nice touch. And most important, it has the iluminator buttom which displays a nice blue neon light around the plastic case. You'll learn how to use in just a minute.
A truly great timepiece. December 1, 2007

From a utilitarian standpoint this is a great product. Why spend big $ on a watch that only tells time. This product give date, and time, has two alarms, has a scheduler, has a stop watch, a timer, a second time zone mode, a calculator, and 150 places to store names and phone numbers. All for less than $75. You can keep your fashion statements and glitz. Practical is the way to go. And this is practical with a capitol "C". This is the third watch of this type and brand that I have had in the last 20 some years (my previous watch is still running but a little cranky at times). So my investment is certainly very reasonable considering I use it every day, day in and day out.

I've been using this databank model since the late 70's, when the memory was more limited, and you couldn't change the battery quick enough to save the data! I still hate entering the data, and now I have more of it! I find I get about 5 years from each watch before something goes. I use all the functions daily,except the stop watch. The present models allow me to get the battery changed and keep the data. My last watch went cookoo when I was at the equator last spring. I don't know if it was the humidity, or the polarization, but the functions quit. Eventually they all returned except the divide function, and I really missed it. Got another databank. I am a female with a 5 3/4" inch wrist and find the resin bands work great for me. Only had one incident where the band broke. Would love for Casio to come out with colored resins in this model, also computer interface for data, and while I'm fantasizing, how about a "build your own functions" model where I can get GPS, foreign language and a host of other needs! I picked up a colored databank multi-lingual in Singapore (I haven't seen them offered in the USA), but I don't want to travel with multi watches. I keep watching the line, looking for the next best thing!
