Casio S830 LCD Watch

Over the years, Casio has produced many different LCD watches, and although I have many Casio LCD watches it's only a small fraction of what they have released.

Today's model is the S830 which was released in 1980. It is a stainless steel model using a 140 module, and the glass sits inside (but slightly protruding from) the steel case. The module is one of the chronograph models with a 100th second stopwatch. It has a 5 1/2 digit time display with smaller seconds, and two more digits above the seconds to show the date (or fractions of a second in the stopwatch mode). There is also a day marker along the top of the display. There is no specific setting button on this model, instead having that as an option when cycling through the modes. Apart from the time and chronograph, there are no other modes, but there is a light.

It has a stainless steel strap with a Casio clasp, and this has a part number of B-376L.

This is basically one of the classic looking 80s Casios - simple but still looking good!
