| Official Gadgeteer Hands On Review: Casio Twincept Watch by Andrew Baker Last date revised: 03/25/99 |
I bought my Casio Twincept
20 about a year ago. My old watch decided
to turn in it’s time card so I had to find a new “cheap” watch. I was
influenced by three factors when I saw this watch. The first was the
price, less then $40. Second I liked the black and gray (typical gadget
colors) construction, nice smooth curves, and the fact it was low
profile on my wrist. The third reason was it’s strong construction.
Storing phone numbers was a nice feature but I did not think I would use
it.
The watch is really a strange design, it has the old analog hands
“under” the transparent screen and the LCD screen is on top displaying
one of the following features. Home Time, World time with world map,
Telephone #’s. Alarm time, StopWatch, Date, or LCD off. I usually leave
the LCD off when it’s not in use, this make the watch look semi-formal.
Although I did not think that I would use the telememo function when I
bought the watch I have proven myself wrong. I use it almost on a daily
basis. The only aspect of the watch that I do not like is the method for
entering data, you have to cycle through each letter in the alphabet.
I give the watch the following rating
Construction: A+
Screen Readability: A-
Battery Life: 3-5 years according to box
Usability: B
Overall Rating: B+
