Sanyo Digital Watches: A Blast from the Past

I give you Sanyo digital watches - a small niche within Japanese digital watchdom from a previous giant within the consumer electrical appliance and electronics field that produced some fun watches during the 70s and 80s. We will cover a good dose of their more general history growing out of Panasonic, and then deep dive into their LED and LCD watch catalog covering solar digital watches (with their amorton technology) , calculator watches (that built off their calculator business that competed with the likes of Casio) , radio watches (they were pioneers in radio) and more oddities.
