    Hi Mark:
    It’s a cool watch. It reminds me of my first digital…..when they were the new thing. The dark display looks like the front of a microwave oven. 😊
    The dealbreaker for me, however, is having to activate the pusher to see the time. That would drive me nuts all day long. A great thing would be if the LCD would activate whenever you lifted your arm.

      I’m so sorry about that! But I still think it’s a fantastic watch with quite a great appeal. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoy the video. It’s not a lot of money. Give one shot!

    Got the green LED one here in the UK. The finish to the case is very good. They also do an LCD, which is again stainless steel, so better than a chromed plastic Casio.

      If you look through my videos, I’ve actually reviewed the Rubik. Take a look at it.

    Mine’s only lost two seconds in three months. It’s a good timepiece as a matter of fact.

    Just bought one of these a few weeks ago. Very cool piece with surprisingly nice finishing.

    I don't think you'd have seen something like that in the late 60's ..... what year did the Hamilton PSR come out .....?

    • @markcoffman494
      @markcoffman494  4 месяца назад

      It was being developed in the late 1960s, but was officially released in 1972. So it wasn’t ever publicized/open to the public but the technology was there in the 1960s.

    Were the old LEDs ever dot matrix? I remember them as segmented.

      I found this bracelet on Amazon. I simply searched up 16-22 mm expansion band and I was able to find this one. But you can also find many of these on eBay under Speidel or Hadley Roma.
