The Casio Databank CA-53WF-3B is a cult classic reborn in a bold olive green colourway, combining retro-digital charm with genuine functional utility. This compact quartz digital watch features an integrated 8-digit calculator keypad, multi-function alarm, dual time display, and stopwatch—all housed within a lightweight resin case measuring just 43.2 × 34.4 × 8.2 mm. The monochromatic black LCD dial contrasts sharply against the matte olive resin case and matching textured strap, creating a distinctive aesthetic that bridges 1980s nostalgia and contemporary streetwear sensibility.
Powered by a CR2016 battery with an impressive 5-year lifespan, the CA-53WF-3B is engineered for everyday reliability. The calculator function operates via the recessed keypad on the lower half of the dial, making quick calculations accessible at a glance. Water-resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), this watch is suitable for daily wear and light splashes, though not for swimming or submersion. Weighing only 25 grams, it sits comfortably on the wrist without the heft of traditional timepieces, making it ideal for those with smaller wrists or anyone seeking an ultralight everyday companion.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for CASIO watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer support and genuine warranty coverage. The CA-53WF-3B arrives with a 1-year international Casio warranty valid from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Whether you're a calculator watch enthusiast, a fan of functional vintage design, or simply seeking a conversation-starter timepiece, this Databank delivers charm and practicality in equal measure.

FAQ
Q: How do I use the calculator function on the CA-53WF-3B?
A: The calculator is accessed via the recessed keypad on the lower half of the watch face. Press the keys as you would on a standard calculator—the 8-digit result displays on the LCD screen. The MODE button toggles between timekeeping and calculator modes.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The CA-53WF-3B has 30-metre (3 ATM) water resistance, which protects against splashes and rain but is not suitable for swimming, showering, or submersion. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities.
Q: How long will the battery last, and where can I get it replaced?
A: The CR2016 battery provides approximately 5 years of use under normal conditions. When replacement is needed, visit Cassims & Co. at Mall of the South—our service team can replace the battery and pressure-test the watch to maintain its water resistance.
Q: Will this watch fit a smaller wrist?
A: Yes, absolutely. The compact 34.4 mm case diameter and lightweight 25-gram construction make this watch particularly well-suited to smaller wrists. The resin strap can be adjusted to fit wrist sizes from approximately 140 mm to 200 mm.
Q: What is the dual time function, and how do I set it?
A: The dual time feature allows you to display a second time zone simultaneously, perfect for travellers or those working across time zones. Access the setting mode by holding the MODE button, then use the keypad to input your secondary time zone.
Q: Is the CA-53WF-3B backlit for night-time visibility?
A: The CA-53WF-3B does not feature an LED backlight or illumination function. Visibility in low-light conditions relies on ambient light reflecting off the LCD display.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Casio retailer, the CA-53WF-3B includes a 1-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for warranty claims.
Warranty
- This Casio watch is covered by a 1-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Casio retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, strap or bracelet wear, scratches to the case or crystal, or fading of resin components due to UV exposure.
- Water damage resulting from misuse (such as operating buttons underwater or exceeding the stated water resistance) is not covered.
- Accidental damage, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for all warranty claims.
- For warranty service or battery replacement, contact Cassims & Co. at our Mall of the South location in Johannesburg.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, perspiration, and skin oils that can accumulate on resin surfaces.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and harsh chemicals including solvents, perfumes, and insect repellents, which can degrade resin materials.
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports—the 30-metre rating is splash-resistant only.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields and electronic devices when not in use.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the display begins to dim—continued use of a depleted battery can cause leakage and internal damage.
- If the watch is not used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent corrosion.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may damage internal components.
