Watches with a calculator or calculator watches were trendy in the 80s and 90s. Everyone loved them for their geeky, and futuristic looks. Back then, every cool kid was a geek. You had to have a calculator watch if you went to schools in the 80s. In 1985, Marty McFly wore a Casio CA53W calculator watch in the all-time famous Sci-fi movie “Back to the future.” It became an icon of the 80s and was a must-have accessory for young men and boys.
Back in the days, I had a few watches with calculators. I thought they were pretty cool, and I still do. These watches take me back in time. You might think why on earth would anyone will wear a watch with a calculator. Before the time of smartphones and smartwatches, everybody used to write down phone numbers in a little book. Calculator watches used to have a data bank to store up to 50 phone numbers. You could set 50 schedule alarms and appointments, and they also had a countdown timer, stopwatch, and world times for the travelers, like your smartwatches these days. But we are talking about the 80s here, and some of you weren’t even born at that time.
In recent times, the retro look has become fashionable again. Calculator watches are timeless, and they look the same as they did back in 1980. When it comes to calculator watches, Casio is the pioneer. Casio wasn’t the first company to make a calculator watch, but it was undoubtedly the most successful and prolific. The first Casio calculator watch, the C-80, arrived in 1980. In the age of smartphones, you have absolutely no need to wear a calculator on your wrist, but you buy it for its retro look, not the functionality that you get in a smartwatch or phone.
