Skip the Apple Watch, Go for the Casio Timepiece Calculator

Retrograde

Well Casio has finally done it.

They've combined a watch and a calculator.

With dual time features and an alarm clock

you'll never miss that conference call with

the New York office again.

(beeping)

But this tiny wonder has some slight imperfections.

With stiff, hard to use buttons

you'll be glad you learned your multiplication tables

in first grade.

Calculators are small enough.

And who wants to do math when they aren't sitting at a desk?

Nice try Casio.

But we simply don't see the calculator watch

becoming popular in 1982.

We did the math.

Let us know what retro gadgets you've got

in the back of your closet in the comments.
