How did Casio Vintage Retro watches happen in the first place?

It all started in the year 1974 when Casio, a company from Japan, started to develop and manufacture the first set of digital LED wristwatches.

Casio watches since then have set the standard, style, character and design for digital watches. This trend had continued through the 80s and 90s.

Some unique Casio retro watch models such as F-91W, A168W, and CA53W were popular and affordable, and even offer features including alarms, stopwatches, and calendar displays.

One unique selling point of Casio vintage retro watches was the durability where the watches have always been built to withstand multiple types of wear and tear. This makes Casio watches suitable for active lifestyles.

Within the Casio brand, it had later also created G-Shock watches which have become a very popular watch brand on its own for many years.

Another type of Casio watches from previous decades is Casio calculator watch which is also known as the Casio Databank.

Casio calculator watch was first introduced by Casio in the 80s and since then quickly became popular among students, engineers, and anyone else who needed an instant calculator on-the-go. Basically, it is a Casio digital watch that features a built-in functional and simple calculator, or it is a watch and calculator at the same time. Other models also featured more functions such as an alarm clock, stopwatch, and calendar.

Portability has been a selling point of the calculator watches. In those years, wearers got used to wear the calculator watch on their wrist and have access to a calculator wherever they went, instead of carrying a separate calculator.

A Casio calculator watch typically features a small, square-shaped digital display with a keyboard of buttons below it. Casio watch wearers could enter calculations directly into the watch, which will then display the results on the screen.
