Seiko talking watch - SBJS001 (A860) round case

Today's watch is something a little unusual in my collection as you can still buy it new. (www.seiko-watch.co.jp/p_search/detail/do.php?no=SBJ001)
The watch is a Seiko SBJS001 (or sometimes just SBJ001) talking watch. The look of the watch is very distinctive with a rounded case, speaker holes on the front, and a very sci-fi appearance.
The watch uses an A860 module with a basic LCD display and no light (as it can speak the time to you in the dark).
The watch speaks the time in Japanese, with a female child-like voice, when the large silver button on the front is pressed.
The watch mode is set with the bottom left button, and appears to have time, chronograph, and alarm functions (with the voice announcing which is selected). In time mode, the other buttons set the hourly chime on or off (top right), or set the time (hold the top left).
