Mattel 1987 Monster Watch

Today's watch is probably one of the ugliest watches I have.

It is a monster watch made by Mattel, and could have been part of the boglins range.

The watch is a one piece moulded rubber case in the shape of a monster, and textured with the monsters skin. The strap is fastened with a plastic peg which links through both parts of the strap. Covering the face is the head of the monster which opens up (around the mouth) to reveal a 4 digit LCD display.

As with the normal novelty watches, it has only time, date, and seconds display (but this one has a dodgy connection somewhere so the display is difficult to keep working). The buttons are on the front inside the monsters mouth. The module is made in Hong Kong and uses an AG3 battery. There is a sticker inside on the module with the number 175 7SV which I presume is the model number.
