Thanks for informing me that what I have been looking for is called a "pseudo-analog" watch, because of this managed to find a Citizen 9600 which I'm very happy with :) Edit: there is something funny about using a digital display to mimic older technology... this is called a skeuomorph. Hereby I propose to call them skeuomorphic watches from now one, that's all for me thanks

I was a kid in the 80's there are so many watches in this video I remember. I had a Timex Ironman and a Timex analog/digital but I don't remember the model. I always wanted the Casio with the thermometer but never got one. Great video.

The golden age of digital watchmaking... wish several of these were in production today. By the way, Casio will release this year the LF-20W as a successor to the old Twin Graph.

I never wore digital watches growing up in the 80s. I guess it was just too popular and ubiquitous during that time and I really snobbed hard against it. I much preferred the look of analog displays back then. But it was digital watches that resparked my love for watches a few years back... I guess I got swept up with everyone else in the nostalgia for the 80s! 😅 And nothing symbolises the 80s more than digital watches!

As a child of the 70s and 80s i remember my love of watches starting with the emergance of more affordable digital watches becoming available and kids at school having them ( i remember a brand called Beltime being popular). But because they were still more expensive i had Sekonda mechanical wind up watches. I actually remember purposely overwinding a sekonda in thr hope my parents would get me a digital watch

Awesome video!
It's also worth mentioning that the seiko G757 was also used in the game Metal Gear Solid V the phantom Pain, and with the popularity of the watch after the release, it saw a re-release under the brand name "Wired" (a seiko subsidiary).
Thank you for the great video & researches, wonderful and tasteful content as usual.

The Casio Amw-320 "Arnie" was briefly shown in this video, featuring the module 358. That module was everywhere for almost 30 years.
