That watch is awesome.
It replaces a pile of watches, about two clocks, about five undefinable electronical looking devices, a calendar and a heavy business calculator with printing functionality!
Especially the 31 watches were extremely uncomfortably to wear before.
I’m so glad they invented it!
Thank you, Multichron 21 Function Calculator Watch!

Did you have the Casio with the complete scientific calculator? I had one. Click for a link to the pic. That thing was awesome. Got me through more than one test in middle school.

Did anyone else notice that the music in this was from the movie Tron? At about 1:20 you can hear it.

fine point. reasonably well stated. The only real note being that we write 19.95 rather than 19,95

Tack on a few extra zeros to that and you might have an idea of how much it would cost you today, Cipher. A watch with an address book? Unheard of!

…then again…I have come across watches with Bluetooth control capability. No lie. Friggin’ things make you look like James Bond!

FEATURE 21!! Ohhh… can’t wait… is it scientific notation, an address book, a remote control? … it’s the $19.99 price. >.< LAME, lol!

I had a Casio calculator watch when they were brand new way back in junior high that was 10 times better than this one in the add. Mine had an address book (name and phone number) and could do far more calculations than this weak thing. Of course mine was more like $80 at the time. x.x

The music in this commercial… creepy as hell.

it has 20 features, no wait, 21 features.
cuz the hours on a clock are a different feature than the minutes. how funny would it be as they say:

well, the watch is 19,95, but if you want it to tell you the time, it costs 10 euro’s extra for the hours OR the minutes, if you want both, we have a special offer, only 15 extra euro’s.

lol

p.s. i hope you get my point, it might be a bit engrish, sorry for that!

Geesh, I’m still hung up on the prospect of CoD products back in that day. Now if you promise to pay something by mail with cash they’ll probably send someone to break your legs just for being a wiseass. Ah the good old days…

I had one of these and it came in handy once: during a math exam in grade 10 I forgot my real calculator. So instead I pissed off a few hundred students in the cafetorium with the beep after every button press.

who remembers that digital analog watch that was touted to “become a legend in its own time”? What was that one called?

There are, of course, many problems connected with life, of which some of the most popular are: Why are people born? Why do they die? And why do they want to spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?

I still wear my StarFox watch from time to time. Played that thing all the time when I was but a wee youngster.

Used to wear Casio Databank watches. Phone directory, calendar, watch, etc.

Then cellular phones included phone directory, calendar, watch, etc.

So now I forget my cell phone and don’t know what time it is.

This reminded me pf the watches with video games on them. I think they had pac-man and space invaders…I’m sure there were more but I can’t remember right now…LOL

How weird is it that this makes me think of the opening lines from “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”?

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

This planet has—or rather had—a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. “

I think that was just about the lamest commercial I’ve ever seen in my life.
