Early 90' Casio model BM-500W

Also called "weather watch" "altimeter watch" or "diving watch"

I might have made a huge mistake...

What kind of mistake?

Paying too much for a digital watch over 20 years old?

And with a flakey barometer sensor...

But she looks near new, have exactly the same non oem replacement wristband as mine had.
And for 8000yens that's not excessively expensive. Without inflation compensation it's almost the same price as in 1993 when I got it... maybe... don't ask... math make me a sad kitty...

The best part was my complete inaptitude at guessing the weather to come... one warm day of early spring we decided to go out for a lunch, my sister back then did not believe much in brassiere... so she went out with a tshirt... soaked wet 1 h later... with matching walk of shame with headlights on...

This was the last day I saw this watch...

Thanks...
I wish i was at that level of troubleshooting.
For now I'm stuck at a sensor being out of range with a "full" error display.unless a typhoon is approaching and baro pressure drop in the 950~sub 1000 mb.
