Thing #7: the calculator watch


CASIO DBC-62

Perhaps the pinnacle of all technology, the calculator watch is the working persons solution to many a problem. Need to make some quick calculations in the bottle store to make sure you're getting adequate bang for your meager student buck? Casio is here to help.

The model of calculator watch I own lets me do arithmetic, quick currency conversions, and enter numbers that spell words when upside down. It also has room for twenty-five phone numbers, a stop-watch, four alarms and "dual time", which lets me know the time in the time zone I've chosen.

And damn if it doesn't look good.
