Franc dot matrix LED watch

Today's watch is a bright one, but not as much as it should be.

This watch is a dot matrix LED watch with a scrolling display. Pressing the button starts the lights - it starts with some form of pattern before showing the time, which then disappears with a random animation.

The watch is by a company called Franc, but there is no other information about that brand that I've found. The back just mentions the water resistance, but has some weird text - the details of what the buttons do are all written starting with a K (KDATE, KLCK, KSET, and KTEST).

It has a rectangular case with the dot matrix along the middle, hidden within a dotted (indented) band across the middle. The white leather strap matches the design and is covered in small indents

Unfortunately, some of the LEDs have failed on this watch so it's become a little hard to read. I don't know the date, but again I'd guess this was from the 2000s.

Casio Film Watch FS-02

My watch today is a Film Watch by Casio. There are several different versions of the Film Watch (more will come in later posts), but the thing that all of them have in common is their thinness.
This version has a round (donut) shaped display that can be used in 3 modes:
Digital time display with day and date.
Digital hands/dial display.
Digital time with animated animals running back and forth along the bottom.
In the animated animal display, the animal changes every 10sec, and will have done 10 widths or 1 width in the time (and this alternates every minute). My guess at the animals are - horse, cat, squirrel, dog, shark and frog.
The model number of this Film Watch is the FS-02, and has a World time, data bank, and stopwatch feature.
