Casio Friendly Memo Data Bank DBJ-22

Today I'm wearing another watch which is a variation on a model I've blogged before.

Those who have been following for a while may remember I posted a Friendly Memo Data Bank watch back in May. That one was the DBJ-24 rather than today's DBJ-22, and featured cats and dogs compared to the boys and girls in this model.

It is part of the Casio Data Bank range of watches and has a memo feature where you can store the name, phone number, and date of birth for your friends. As this is a Friendly Memo model, you can also assign a face to the contact choosing the face and the head style (boy or girl and hair style). The watch is a Japanese model, so all of the input is in Japanese characters (unless there is a language shift option that I haven't found). The contacts are also used in a game called Fit where you choose two of your contacts and it runs a compatability check  showing a number of stars in the hearts box and a percentage score.

The watch has a hybrid LCD display with a normal 6 digit number display along the bottom, a set of 9 star symbols in a 3x3 pattern (which fills with the seconds), and a dot matrix array. The dot matrix shows the picture of  a girl by default, who is animated to look around and pull faces (especially when the button marked forward is held).

This model uses a 1437 module (compared to a 1537 in the cat and dog model), and has alarm and stopwatch modes too.
