Super Lovers Triple Fatboys LCD dial and Compass watch

In my collection, I've ended up with quite a few watches from the Harajuku Super Lovers brand which is based in Tokyo. The Super Lovers brand was founded in 1988 and mainly aims at the fashionable Harajuku girls and they have made a few watches over the years.

This watch appears to be called XXXL Triple Fatboys judging by the printing on the face. To show the time it uses an LCD dial where the hour, minute, and second hand are segments on the LCD. Each 60th has two sections, with the minute and second hand using both sections, and the hour hand using only the middle segment. This means that the LCD display has 120 segments! To set the watch, it looks like you use a crown, however this is actually a button which, when held, moves the time forward.

Under the display, there is also a compass. Unusually, this is a magnetic compass with a spinning pointer.

No information is shown on the watch about date or model number, but a sticker on the back says it was made in China.
