Casio Futurist LA-2100B

It's a small watch again today, and yet another that is meant to be a ladies watch, but I think works ok for a narrow wrist like mine.

The watch is another from the Futurist line produced by Casio (that last featured on the blog only 10 days ago). The line is mainly aimed at women, and produces fresh, young fun watches with a combination of retro and futuristic styles.

This model is the LA-2100B and features an inverse LCD display rotated 90 degrees to the normal. The display is small and rectangular and has 2 lines. The top line has the day and date (or text explaining the mode) in small characters, while the bottom line is a normal 6 digit time display. It has a 3130 module with time, alarm, and stopwatch modes, and an el-backlight. There is no adjust/setting button, with the time setting mode being the last option when you use the mode button.

The case is made of aluminium, and has a matching black steel strap. For power, it uses a CR1216, which is a less common battery size. The full model number is LA-2100B-1AJf, but I've seen it referred to as -1ADR too. It still appears on some Casio websites, but I think it may have been discontinued last year (2012).
