I had one of these. It also did hex, octal, binary and decimal math,
but it didn't have any phone or appointment storage capability. 
Unfortunately, it died. Finding no satisfaction at the local stores,
I called Casio directly. No joy--they stopped making that model 
several years ago. I guess not enough nerds#####people bought them.
I now have the DBC-62, which has a really lame calculator (at least
compared to my old one, R.I.P.), world time, and room for 50 phone
numbers or appointments. 

What I'd really like to see is one that can be downloaded with
appointments...and a decent calculator again. Sigh. I miss my
old watch.
