Actually the Casio versions of such watches were quite cool among us back in the 80's.

I loved mine. My uncle gave the best presents! When you're in third grade, at least, nothing makes you feel cooler than a calculator watch.
Quite true. I only managed to get one already in high school.
I had a Casio calculator watch that also included a video game for the ultimate in nerd entertainment. From what I remember, it consisted of scrolling numbers that you had to enter before they reached the edge of the screen, like in a typing tutor.

What I liked most about my watch was that it included many different alarm tones. I must have driven my parents crazy with those beeps.
