Casio
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.
Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward.

EDIT: 20170614
The individual keys on the pad are a bit harder to push down, surprisingly, than the previous model. They also seem to be a tough sort of plastic, unlike the rubber feel of the CA-53W. For what it is does though, I still believe the product is worth 4 stars.
EDIT: 20170619
Over the past week, I've noticed the wristband is a bit squeaky. Also, I've been steadily taking this watch with me in the shower/bath, sometimes fully submerged, and no signs of water damage at all (i.e water under the screen, buttons not working, etc).
EDIT: 20171028
My watch is still very much functional/reliable, even with showering everyday with it. It's accrued a couple of scratches on the screen, but nothing too crazy. About a month ago, I went to look at the time and noticed a bunch of jibberish (random characters) on the screen. However, pushing one of the buttons cleared it and that problem hasn't happened again since.
As I've used the phone book more, I've come to realize it's ashame the numbers don't double as a keyboard, kind of like a phone, or T9.
Again, I use this watch everyday, and will continue to do so until a better Databank model is released. (Hopefully with a light and guaranteed water resistance).
EDIT: 20180926
The timepiece is still going strong! I haven't had any "jibberish" issues since the last edit. I shower daily with the watch, even go swimming and go in the steam room/sauna, yet still no problems i.e; all buttons are functional, and light still works. However, I've had to replace both bands due to degradation. The one with the clasp gave out months ago, and the other with the holes actually cracked in half (sorry, I never thought to take pictures) recently. Luckily, Casio sells exact identical bands for really cheap. The reinstallation is a little frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of it, all future installs are a breeze. In my small collection, this watch remains my favorite.
In case you're curious where I got my replacement bands, go here:

EDIT: 20190818
After two years and some change, this piece remains my daily driver. I've taken it off and used another for a total of a month... at most. Yet, it keeps on ticking (pun definitely intended). Even with me going diving again (about 5-10 meters), the watch is entirely functional. Because of that, I have to give the watch 5 stars. There's no reason not to. I do, however, have some additonal notes [read: very small nitpicks] I hope Casio can address in the next iteration:
1. I've replaced the band twice in two years. My first replacement was with the aforementioned official Casio resin band, and the second replacement was with an unofficial Casio band. So, I guess I hope they'll be able to increase the durability of their official band as I much prefer that to the one I currently use.
2. Having to use my finger nails to push the keys in on the keypad, there's permanent grooves [or indents] on them. No big deal though.
The "jibberish" issue I had was truly an anomaly, as I haven't experienced since then.
So yeah, a phenomenal watch for a phenomenal price. I'm still a huge fan of the series, and eagerly awaiting the next version!
Changing headline from "Almost perfect" to "Perfect".
Well, recently, it did. The 150's module is totally non-functional. And my 300 is almost too valuable to wear anymore. I wanted something new. This watch is the last version which is (mostly) compatible with those earlier watched. It comes in several variants, so I bought a silver one and a black one. This review relates to both versions.
This is a pretty decent watch, comparable to the older (and better) versions in most ways. It has a lot less available data memory (which seems odd, doesn't it?) and no longer has the "Indiglo" electroluminescent backlight) which is wonderful, instead merely using white surface-mount LEDs to reflect light inside the case. And, of course, it loses the "countdown timer" function (which I almost never used, anyway).
But the calculator functionality is equivalent to, and in one way better, the earlier models. This has a built-in "currency conversion" mode (really just a single memory which you can multiply your entries by) which does come in handy if you travel a lot.
The "dual time" mode is less capable than the earlier version. In that case, you'd set it based upon whatever time zone you might be in, and you could step through timezones (say, from London to Cairo) without having to reset the time itself. In this case, you simply have to reset the watch time for a second entry... not quite as nice.
It does have a "daylight savings time" option which helps a bit, since you don't have to reset the watch twice a year (you only turn DST on or off).
The reduced "databank" feature set means that you no longer have the calendar display at the top of the screen (which was nice... you'd see a darkened box on days when an event was set, or a blank if nothing was set). However, this is replaced by a LARGE text box which tells you the day of the week, so it's probably a improvement in the eyes of most people.
The keypad is actually an improvement over the prior versions in terms of ease of pressing of the buttons. There's a triangular "pyramid" atop each button, in clear plastic, with the printed label underneath. Unfortunately, they removed the "three letters" (in addition to the number) from each button. This is supposed to make it easier to see the numbers, I guess, but it makes text entry a lot more challenging (if you don't have the num-pad text entry scheme committed to memory).
Basically, Casio has severely hamstrung the "databank" portion of this device, to the point where it's largely not worth it to use except as a conventional watch or a calculator.
But that's OK, for most of us, as not many people probably made full use of the older version's feature set. It's still the best option out there.
Soon, practically-sized "smart watches" may become an actual reality. The i-Watch is not really what I mean... it's just a first step down the path. It's pretty much useless without an iPhone, and a watch should be a stand-alone device, or at least be capable of being a stand-alone device. The Samsung "smart watch" is a great concept, except that it's HUGE. But until real, practical smart-watches arrive (in a few years) this remains your best option, in my opinion.
This particular watch is the "black" version. The band itself is a pretty standard plastic band, and is quite comfortable to me.
Top reviews from other countries
One day youtube recommended a video of this watch and it reminded my childhood dream. When I looked for the price I was astonished by its affordability. I bought it asap and waited for delivery.
The packing was good and came with all documents. The watch fits nicely in my hand and doesn't look big on my small wrist. The feel, touch and mere presence of it feel so great. It's truly a vintage product. I'm not sure about water resistance as I skipped reading the manual. I explored all functions myself the same way I would do as a kid and felt proud of knowing each. The functions are still relevant as you can store important phone numbers, PINs etc outside any connected medium which is still handy. The only issue is you can't save passwords in the data bank as there is no alpha numeric support. Rest it is a conversation starter and various functions will let you tell different stories.
