The edb619 comes in silver and black. Looks very different from its casio databank predecessor the dbc series. The EDB definitely has more of a modern look easy to press buttons and a pretty good screen resolution and contrast.
Basic functions include a password protected, 300 page databank, 8 digit calculator, auto el backlight with afterglow, world time with 26 time zones (100 cities), 4 multi function alarms, stopwatch, countdown timer, auto calendar & a battery power indicator.

Have been looking for a current Databank watch with password protection. Am currently nursing along a 25 year old DBC-62 that’s been repaired twice at greater cost than a new EDB. So I was pretty excited to see the new EDB610 and 619 models (what’s the difference though?).
I like the backlight (mine does nothing but kill the battery) feature, and the on-screen menu and battery gauge. But what about the really important stuff:
1. what are the password parameters (ie. how many digits can you use, is it numerals only, etc.)?
2. will it die if you forget to take it off in the bathtub or the shower?
3. does it have flash memory, or will you lose all your data when your battery dies, or you have to replace it?
