This means if you want to hear that 10-minute interval beep, stay on the stopwatch screen when the stopwatch is running. If you run the stopwatch, leave it running and go back to the time screen, the beep will not sound every 10 minutes. The watch will beep once for every 10 minutes of stopwatch time elapsed, but only when the stopwatch screen is selected. ST-Hour literally means "Stopwatch Hour". The division key ÷ (top right), also labeled "DATE/ST-Hour", will show how many hours have passed on the stopwatch screen if pressed and held. The stopwatch does in fact show hours as it will go up to 23:59.99, but hours are not displayed on the stopwatch screen. Second is a feature that's not hidden but ambiguously marked. When on the alarm screen, press 0 and + (bottom left and bottom right keypad keys) at the same time and an alarm tone demo will sound.

And because some features are outright hidden unless you read the manual first.
Good, but not as easy as other Casio timepieces, for the reason things are not put in "Casio standard" locations. The CA-53 can be read easily even under the brightest Florida sun. And that even includes a few analog timepieces. I have returned a few watches because of legibility problems in direct sunlight. The watch does not have a backlight/nightlight, but that doesn't bother me at all since I'm more interested in daytime and not nighttime reading. It can even be read easily while wearing polarized sunglasses. While the digits are actually smaller than on the F-91W, the display is easy to read.
#Beebeep alarm full#
In a world full of digital wristwatches that look really, really tacky, the CA-53 is such a nice thing to see. Everything else about it is subtle and purposely understated. The only thing even remotely "loud" on it is the "WR" (Water Resist) gold lettering at top right of the case. Yes, seriously.Ĭompared to other Casio watches, the CA-53 is an exercise in restrained design. The watch actually has quite the sophisticated look to it. The funny thing about the CA-53 is that in pictures on a computer screen, it looks like this unwieldy, oddly-shaped thing. My initial impression of the watch once I put it on the wrist was, "Wow, this thing isn't nearly as nerdy as I thought it would be."
