Greatest Digital Watch Hits of the 80s : Casio, Seiko, Citizen and more!

80s digital watches has been a favourite of my viewers, so to celebrate 5k subscribers I thought doing a broader review of the whole period of 80s digitals from Casio, Seiko, Citizen and more would be a fun one. I’ve used the inspiration of the classic 80s :”Now that’s what I call music” compilation albums as a theme for the video, with each different type of watch representing a track on the list. We will cover Ana-digi watches, sports watches, nerdy calculator and computer watches, early sensor watches, melody alarms, (su-su-susudio ) pseudo-analogs the rise of the g-shock and many more. Lots of fun making this one and weaving in plenty of 80s references. I hope you enjoy the video!
