I also have a Casio CA-53W. Greate 80's/nerdiest vibe.

This is my nerdiest today.

My 'Kindle' Watchy by SQFMI is an e-paper/open source/arduino watch.

IMHO Casio pac-man is nerdiest. Bulova could be named a 'retro'?!? I have a Armitron with leds.

I don't know. What about the Casio Cosmo Phase? Isn't a watch that tracks the appearances of Halley's Comet by definition nerdy? Also, while the Casio CA53W worn by Marty was more popular, Doc Brown wore an Armitron calculator watch. I also remember the Timex Q Digital being quite popular in the computer and math clubs in school.

Which red LED Armitron do you have? The Griffy, the Tetra, or a vintage one? I have a Tetra myself.

Love this! Was my first watch in 5th grade

Actually, until now, I didn't know about the 'Cosmo' (that's a nice nerdy one too). 😀

The Armitron I have is a gold Griffy (a reissue not the vintage one). Good retro vibes! 😎

Interesting... Do we need a screwdriver to open it? Or is that pin a sliding one?

Yes, the pin slides to release the spring-loaded cover! But I love the screwdriver idea. Considering that the dial isn’t particularly worth looking at, an absurd extra hurdle wouldn’t really negatively impact the watch’s functionality.

Nice. Is that the same Texas Instruments of the silicon chips? It still works?

Yes, same TI that makes chips and calculators and DLP movie projector lenses ("micro mirrors.")😃

Not sure if it works, haven't had the time to test it yet. I got it off of E-Bay.

Mine sat in a drawer for about 30 years. I popped in a new battery and it fired right up.

This is great! I do have a Texas Instruments digital watch in my collection, but it is a stainless steel case and bracelet, not the resin case.
