► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio Marlin W-650 Multi Alarm men’s digital sports watch, powered by Module 181 and produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1980s. This model is part of Casio’s iconic Marlin series and is becoming increasingly difficult to find today, especially in working condition. The watch has a known sound issue: when a new battery is installed or the watch is AC’d, the sound works properly for a few button presses, then gradually fades out and stops. Aside from this sound-related issue, all other features and functions of the watch are working properly. The watch is fitted on an aftermarket strap. The watch is in good physical condition and shows signs of use and age consistent with an authentic vintage piece. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully. Key Details: • Brand: Casio • Model: Marlin W-650 • Module: 181 • Era: 1980s • Market: Japan Domestic Market (JDM) • Display: Digital • Strap: Aftermarket • Condition: Working with sound issue as described; signs of use and age An extremely collectible Casio Marlin reference and a great opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a scarce 1980s JDM digital sports model. Ships carefully. Feel free to message me with any questions.

► ARCHIVE FILE: CASIO — BRAND HISTORY

Casio began not with watches but with calculation. Tadao Kashio founded Kashio Seisakujo in Tokyo in 1946, and with his three brothers developed the 14-A in 1957, the world's first compact all-electric relay calculator, incorporating the business as Casio Computer Co. that same year. The move into watchmaking came in November 1974 with the Casiotron, a digital watch whose claim to fame was an automatic calendar that knew how many days each month had, a small feat of logic that announced how an electronics firm would approach timekeeping.
