A successor to my DBC-610
Before getting this watch I owned two (or was it three?) of the simliar Casio DBC-610 models, which are now officially discontinued but still available. These are the only watches I've owned over the last 20+ years. Some aspects of this newer model (and the similar DBC-150 and DBC-1500) are improvements, but others are not. Here's the scoop: <
> <
>DBC-310 pros: <
>1. The backlight is much better looking than the older type, and should require less power to operate. The backlight on my old one has failed completely. <
>2. Instructions for this model say that the user data is retained when the battery is removed. Not so with the older one. <
>3. This one has more data storage (room for 300 entries vs. 50) and improved functions such as search capability. <
>4. The implementation of some controls has been improved. This makes it less likely to accidentally press a button and change a setting. <
>5. I chose the black plastic case this time rather than the metal-plated plastic case of the DBC-610. The metal plating always wears off eventually, leaving parts of the underlying plastic exposed. This is actually my main gripe about the old model. <
> <
>DBC-310 cons: <
>1. The viewing angle of the LCD is different and not as good. I have to rotate my wrist a little too far to see the characters properly. <
>2. Along with the plastic case comes a resin (plastic) band. It does feel good on my hand, but the standard buckle is a step backward from the hinged latch of the old model. <
>3. The case is rounder and slightly larger in all dimensions. I prefer the clean, sleek lines of the old model. I also don't like the narrow spacing of the outer two columns of buttons. That looks like a design mistake. <
> <
>The structure of the keypad is different as well. The old keypad was a flat membrane, but the new one has raised buttons. I won't really know for a year or two if this is an improvement or not. <
> <
>Both watches have the same type of stainless steel back, and the other general features are pretty much the same. <
> <
>Summary: One of these models is the best watch in the world, but I'm just not sure which one.

It was either this one or the $5,000 Rolex
It is the most powerful watch on the planet with regards to dynamic functionality....but I'm still waiting on the GPS, Ipod and video cell phone to be designed into it....Also bulletproof & waterproof it to at least 100 ft. and always alert you when someone is telling a lie!
