I wonder how much we really need for a clock (555 eq) to work?

2mA minimum, and that's just q current. It's gonna be much higher when you're actually using it for a clock.
I'm sure the casio's main power sink is the display. I bet the refresh rate could be reduced for better battery life.
Isnt the refresh rate just 1 Hz?
Yep.
A lot more than that. 2ma
Analog circuits are weird though
