Casio BP-120 Blood Pressure Monitor - Resin English version

Here is the 3rd (and final) of my BP-120 watches. I've blogged these watches before, and had originally bought this as a spare, but when it arrived I found it was subtly different than the others.
The watch, by Casio, was released in the mid-90s (maybe as early as 1993) was a follow up to their BP-100 blood pressure monitor watch. It came in two main versions, silver metal and black resin, and with different text depending on the market it was intended for.

This particular model is the black resin model, but instead of the all-Japanese text of the other version I've blogged, it has the button description in English (although there is still Japanese text below the LCD). The other main difference is the design of the text panel by the sensor which is identical to the later BP-300 watch rather than the other BP-120 designs. The colour of the text on the strap is yellow this time (along with the bottom start button), but the strap is still a 374 H1 and H2 (although which part of the strap is H1 and H" is different between the two different resin versions).

It still uses the 1101 module, and has time, date and blood pressure modes. The LCD panel has both a standard 6 digit time display, along with a top dot-matrix LCD display. Blood pressure is monitored through a method called Pulse Wave Transit Time (PWTT).

There are more details about the watch and the sensor in my original post on the BP-120 which can be found here. The other resin model can be found here, and the BP-300 can be found here.






Spot the difference between the two resin versions!
