- The model I have is a CFX-40
- - Full Scientific calculator / Base-n / Alarm / Stopwatch with laptime
- - F1/F2 keys work as Shift keys
-
- In my work as Software Engineer I realize that I'm using it daily to do
- simple arithmetic, and Hex-Dec-Oct-Bin conversion.
-
- Would like a multi-level memo/alarm, and databank
-
- ...
-
- So the options for High Tech. Watches must be ...
-
- Casio CFX-40
- FX-70
- CFX-200 (Two models were described)
- DBX-1000 <== This one seems to me to have all the options
- Discussion talks about multi-level alarm etc.
- I like the possible options for the 'future DBX-2000' with phone dialer....
- and have it Water Proof (till say.. 10 m. ... enaugh for most situations).
-
- Seiko DATA-2000
- RC-5000 (Vest pocket Watch with matrix display...
- used to be able to couple that to a PC like terminal...
- The last Ad I saw about it must have been in '87, and
- RC-7000 Which --me thinks-- was its follow-up)
-
- As far as I know the RC5000/7000 series have been discontinued.
-
-
- I also would like to keep up with current possibilities, but most shop owners
- don't even have a model catalog anymore, since the models are changing so
- rapidly.
- Maybe we can reach Casio Development people ... just to keep us informed.
-
- Gerard.
