Nixon The Dictator

My watch today seems to have had a hard life so far. I rescued it from a junk pile and tidied up the strap, but the case looks like it's been left outside for a long while.

The watch is another from the American Nixon brand. This model is called The Dictator, and is a large metal watch with an inverse LCD and mesh panel above. The mesh panel is due to the special feature in this model, a voice recorder (which is hinted at in the watches name). With this function, you can record 8 messages with a total time of up to 3.5 minutes.

It has a large block dot matrix style inverse LCD (with a red el-backlight) which is can show 3 1/2 digits (along with a variety of other indicators around battery charge and message status). Apart from the recording, the watch has a custom alarm mode.

It was released around 2006, and was around $120. Some links refer to the model as The Dictator A063 1400, so I think that's the model number.
