grafix Target-Style LCD dial watch

Today is a watch that I know very little about, and have struggled to find anything on, but looks interesting :-)

The watch is called grafix (without a capital letter) and has a round LCD display. It only uses numbers for the minutes though, and there are no 'hands'. Hours are displayed on 4 groups of 3 segments coming out radially from the centre. Three full segments is one quarter of the dial and represents 3 o'clock, and it's the same idea with 6, 9, and 12. There is one button which can switch the display to a target (short press), or set the time (long press). There is also a seconds marker around the edge where an LCD segment shows every 5 seconds at the right place around the dial.

On the back, it states that this watch is copyright to CGI in 1992, but I don't know anything about this company. It also mentions the battery type (SR1130/390).
