Umbro A430 Ana-Digi watch

Today is another of my sporty watches, but one that unfortulately I've not been able to coax into action, so I'm just blogging it for informations sake.

This watch is by the sports brand Umbro, which is currently a subsidiary of the American brand Iconix. The brand started in Manchester as a sportswear and football equipment supplier, and was owned by Nike until 2012.

This is another ana-digi model and has a model number of A480. It has a 3 hand analogue dial in the centre, with 3 LCD windows at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The LCD windows cover hours and minutes across the middle, with the seconds window at the bottom. The watch modes are shown in the LCD windows, and based on the button descriptions, there is likely a stopwatch and timer (but I've not seen this model online, so haven't been able to confirm it).

The watch has an oval face encased in a plastic shell. The strap is in one piece with the main case, but is made from two pieces of rubbery plastic to give a two colour design.

The dial shows the Umbro double diamond logo and name, and shows this watch is 50m water resistant. The back has the logo and name, along with the model number. The text also says that the watch was "Produced under the authority of Umbro, design owner of the trademarks "UMBRO" and the "Double-Diamond". This suggests that the watch was made under licence, but there is no indication that I could find on who actually made the watch.

As for date and cost, I haven't found any information for this model. I'd guess is was from the 2000s, but that is just a hunch so could be very wrong.

Umbro U887A Ana-Digi Watch

I'm wearing a sporty watch today, but have been lazy most of the day...

So far, I've blogged some of the main sports brands like Adidas, Nike, and Converse, but today it's the first from another. This time it's a watch by British brand Umbro.

Umbro are a sportswear and football equipment supplier from Manchester, but are now a subsidiary of the American company Iconix Brand Group (since 2012) after earlier being owned by Nike. This watch came out in 2011 (maybe a little earlier), so was during the Nike owned era.

The watch is a model U887A and is an ana-digi design. The dial is a 3 hand dial with a red seconds hand. The digital display is split into 3 areas with a main time display at the bottom. In the top to right is a round display which fills over a minute (with 30 segments that flash twice before the next one comes on). The top left has a 2 line display with day and date.
It is 5 bar water resistant, and has a stopwatch, alarm, and timer. Between each mode, the round display shows a spinning animation before the new mode appears. There is an el-backlight with three colours - blue for the time, green for the date, and red for the circle.
