Anyone remember these?
My uncle gave me an analogue-style LCD (cheap) watch that he bought in 1989 and never wore. :-) I want to get more of this style of watch. I seen a user on eBay selling a few of them from Amsterdam, but it's hard to find these due to the hybrid category they are (analogue display, but digital operation).
Shame these are yet another thing (1980s fad?) that died out when there exists many other kinds of watches today...
http://www.PocketCalculatorShow.com/ may be the place to look for this type of thing, as unique electronics/gadgets are shown there, including vintage digital watches, walkmans, boomboxes, calculators (of course; the site casme from a radio show about them), and other cool & cute gadgets of the 1970s & 1980s...

The 80's had all kinds of weird watches..........
I remember when indiglo was a huge deal, and they even had it on some of those Digital watches that were made to use the LCD to make everything appear "digital".
I remember once having a really krazy watch that was a rubber frog with a watch in it's mouth, it might have been digital/analog style too. That darned thing was so big it looked funny on my 8 year old arm, so it never left the house.

What you mean by 'made to use the LCD to make everything appear "digital"'? Was it a dot-matrix watch?Mad-MikeThe 80's had all kinds of weird watches..........

Actually, it was supposed to say "appear as analog", I was really sleepy when I typed that.
