Look What Was Waiting For Me When I Got Home!

This vintage Armitron calculator watch was waiting for me when I got home today! Very excited to have the other calculator watch brand from Back to the Future in my collection. Even if it is not the exact model, it is from the same decade. ๐Ÿ˜

How is that keypad in such good condition? The printing isn't even worn.

I am not sure, but it isn't just the keypad; the entire watch is in great shape! The EL backlight is still as bright as a Casio, and the display is all in good working order. The calendar year is out of date, but that is the only issue beyond some minor scratches on the crystal that should buff out for the most part. The calendar only goes to 2001, I believe.

Obviously those soft keys were the first thing to wear, especially as people typically poked at them with pencil tips and the like.ย 

If you haven't don the googling, 1994 works for 2022, and 1995 will work for 2023.

I did know there are years that can be substituted, but I has not looked it up yet.

The keys are still luminous in the dark. I really don't know how this watch is in such good shape. ๐Ÿ˜Š
