Compuchron LED Calculator question

[casiofanatic]

Hi,

Has anyone in here had any experience with this watch?

I browsed this forum for about 6 hours tonight lots of good information and the personal websites are interesting. Nice to meet everyone,

Yeah, I had one. That damned thing started going mad one day then the time functions didnt work anymore. Only reliable LED calculator watch is the HP-01 in my eyes.

The Hp-01 is nice looking. I wish I could afford one. I purchased one but didn't work and was in bad condition. I am keeping it as a spare until I find a good affordable working one. There are some nice sites for the Hp-01 I saw that others posted in the forums. Really an exciting watch, keeps me interested just looking at the pictures and the broken watch I have.

thanks for replying.

have you ever tried the Pulsar calculator watch before?

Personally I only had the Pulsar calculator watch for a few weeks, but a friend who had several of these says they're even worse than the compuchron. High chance of your watch getting broken while you're asleep.

Been lots of HP-01s on eBay in the last ten days, goldfill, stainless, even boxed. All working, several in very nice condition. Prices have even been within reason, too. If you're really looking for one, this is the spot to keep your eye on...
I recently got one of these, just to have one, and I must admit, it is an impressive piece of engineering. The manual is a bit intimidating, as it runs nearly a hundred pages.
Still, my overall bias is for the Pulsar calculators [especially the 18K ones], as they were the first [and since Pulsar is my collecting specialty]. If you can find one now in good, working condition, chances are, it has escaped the usual problems and/or abuse, and in all probability, will last for many years to come. Most of all, you should consider what you would simply like to own, and buy what you like...
