Well, they're all a little older than that. The first calc watch came out in '75, but the first databank came out in '83. So, your timing was about right, just off by a few years.

Oh Ok. Funny, though, how the design of the first calc watch hasn't even changed at all since then. At Zellers (which is being replaced by Target) a few weeks ago, I saw one exactly like that.

Pssh, the databank ones aren't old school.

These are the old school ones. Databanks are new in comparison.

Well I checked Google for images of the Databank ones, and they still look kinda old school. The one you posted looks like it was designed in the early 80's (back when every electronic was rectangular-shaped) and the Databanks I saw on Google looked like 1989-92 electronics .

Dude!

I had a watch just like that!

Progress:


This is just the strap with a little box on top of it. I have to drill holes for the buttons and make a top to cover up everything that's not the lcd. I will paint it.

I did make some firmware updates which include a little music player, but not much new stuff has been done ever since. I tried to fit a battery in it, but the original cr2030 batteries could not supply enough current for the backlight and the speaker, so I might have to get another type of battery.

I missed it too....it is looking cool! Nice work!
