Concepts Alarm Chrono

Today's watch is another cheap model watch but with an interesting enough look that I kept it for my collection. I'd bought it as part of a pile of non-working watches, but I thought I'd use it rather than keep for parts.

The watch it by a brand called Concepts. Unfortunately, their name means it's nearly impossible to search for anything meaningful online, so I don't have any information on them. It seems quite well made with a nice crisp design, stainless steel case, and 3 bar water resistance.

Time is shown on a large inverse LCD display, but the layout is unusual. The main part of the display is the seconds, with the time being in much smaller text and stacked (the hours digits being above the minutes) on the left side of the display. Along the top of the face are circles with a letter for the day of the week. The watch is an alarm chronograph, so has an alarm and a chronograph /stopwatch mode which measures to 1/100 sec until an hour and then switches to hours, minutes and whole seconds.

The strap is a quite thin leather design, but has a separate panel which covers the back of the watch. The back of the watch doesn't give away any new information apart from the use of a CR2025 battery.
