Around 1986, I owned this very exact same calculator watch. I thought I was the coolest 6th or 7th grader around. It’s crazy to see so many of them for sale on ebay. It’s almost crazier to see them selling for $18. I want one. I’ll pay 6 bucks for one.
I’ve been looking at calculator watches on ebay on and off for the past five years. I’ve yet to pull the trigger on getting one, because yeah, it’s too much. But maybe I’ll spring for the $18 and then I’ll wear it the next time I see you and you will drool all over my calculator watch.
I can’t tell you how many times I need to do calculations. The past couple years I’ve been using Google for my calculator. Do you think any of these watches have google on them?
I guess this would be the post for all those watch replica spam comments you were inundated with last week!
Anyway, I always thought the geeks in school with the calculator watches were super cool

Ned, I too have left bars that play the music too loud. What’s the point? I want to hear the people I’m talking with. Now sometimes I have used a calculator watch in a bar. No joke. Although I have not used one to pick up any ladies. You know those emails where it tells you to enter some numbers and then it has you divide multiply add and other stuff and then you end up with the same number? I wanted to make something that would somehow result in me getting the phone number of whom I was talking… Read more »
I need to write a blog post, “how to pick up ladies in a bar with a calculator watch”
y’know they make watches that have tv remotes built into them. And watches that have digital cameras (like 150×150 pixels images), but I’ll just stick with the calulator watch. And it’s gotta be the Casio CA-53W-1Z 53W.
And for the record, I also can not stand bars that are too loud. In general, I really don’t like bars.
I am still waiting for google and yahoo to index this page, so it will become the only webpage in the world with the phrase I had in my previous comment about how to pick up women with a calculator watch.
