Lenticular strap LCD watch

Today is another of my cheap and cheerful watches.

This watch was bought from a chain of shops called Octopus, but I also saw this style of watch being sold in the toyshops in Japan. The thing that appealed to me was the lenticular strap, as this gives the watch an eyecatching effect when it moves. The lenticular type of picture is the same as the 3D posters you can get and the kids toys where you see a different picture depending on the angle you see it from.

Because of this effect, I've noticed many people having a double-take when they glance at the watch and see the strap seem to move! You can see a bit of the effect in the wrist shot as the pattern seems to change part way around the strap.

The LCD module is un-named, and only has time and date functions.
