Product Description:
Before the Casio DataBank Series debuted, it was thought that a watch should indicate the time of day, and nothing more. The DataBank DBC310-1 tells you what time it is, to be sure, but also keeps track of where you need to be and when--and who you'll meet when you get there. This handsome, water resistant chronometer/scheduler features EEPROM memory protection and electro-luminescent backlighting. Measuring capacity - 23 - 59'59 - 99 World time 24 time zones, city code display Daylight savings time on/off 8-digit calculator 8-digit arithmetic function (four basics, constants, memory calculations) Countdown alarm Daily alarm Hourly time signal Auto-calendar (pre-programmed to the year 2094) 12/24-hour formats Low power indicator Accuracy - +/- 15 seconds per month Battery life - approximately 2 years on CR2016

Amazon.com Product Description:
Casio's DBC310-1 men's databank watch is ideal for busy people who love the convenience of having telephone numbers and other essential data right at their fingertips. The watch lets you store 300 pages of either Telememo (names, telephone numbers) or Schedule-memo (messages, months, days, times) data with up to 8 digits and 12 numerals per page. A built-in keypad facilitates data entry, and its EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) retains your data even when the battery goes dead. So don't worry: you'll never have to retype it all.

Your eyes will like the DBC310-1's electro-luminescent backlight with afterglow, making it easy to read anywhere, anytime. View time in either 12- or 24-hour formats. The piece is water-resistant, and it offers a stopwatch with readings down to .01 seconds. It's accurate within +/- 30 seconds per month, and the supplied battery should last you about 2 years. Other features include a daily alarm, a countdown alarm, hourly time signals, and an auto-calendar feature (preprogrammed to the year 2094).

- Casio provides a 2nd brain in a tiny watch
I can't do without my Casio anymore and have bought a back up just in case my present one is damaged, gets lost, or goes kaputt. It now contains all the vital info I need and which folks carry in their (relatively) bulky cell phones or Blackberries. Several times daily it reminds me of chores to do. Several times weekly I'm prompted to access some stored info. Indeed, I've gotten so dependent on it that I had to order a 2nd unit. ;-)

- Quintessential Nerd Watch
This is the best of the databank series in terms of functionality, but not the best in ergonomics.

With 300 data set shared memory, you can have any combination of phone numbers or alarm schedules that will ring perpetually or once. This watches' design has not changed in over 10 years after a generation of prior versions with less memory, true metal casings, incandescent lighting, or a flat keyboard that did not have letters fade, leading to the pros and cons of this model. I've had this one particular model for over 10 years and several Casios like it over the past 20 years.

PROs

300 item shared memory
LCD back lighting saves battery life
Flash memory for memos/schedules, won't disappear with a battery change
consistent 2 year battery life even with all the alarms ON

Great watch. I bought it for a gift for my husband. He loves it.

- 20 years plus....
I bought my first databank watch over 20 years ago in Hong Kong and was very happy to have a way to keep track of phone numbers. Unfortunately, the hazards of living on a navy ship claimed this one. So, I bought another when I got back to the US. The first one only had room for 30 records; the second only 50 and now it is up to 300. I've always heard the saying "a short pencil is better than a long memory". But who wants to carry a notebook around all the time?
I believe this is my 6th databank. So one might think that I am a bit abusive to my watches. But this brings out the only negative thing about the databank; and that is that it is a bit on the fragile side. So, if you work in an industrial environment it might not be a very good choice.
Otherwise I am still giving it the top rating. I look forward to the say when it has text to speech and then becomes a wirelss device a la Dick Tracy.
