    Except for the timezone gymnastics, specs are typical of a modern $5 Chinese watch --- which I'm wearing right now.

    If Casio wanted to really push the envelope, they should add a simple slot to store a micro-SD memory card. No reading electronics or connectivity or anything --- just a simple latched slot to securely hold the card. Should be cheap and easy.

    Then I wouldn't have to build this to carry my backup data with me wherever I go:
