Hey guys, I’m trying to find proof of a watch someone owned at my school back in ‘89.

It was black, a Casio (I think, though I’m not positive), and it’s distinguishing feature was an oval purple button on the face. Can anyone remember seeing something similar?

It’s closer to the JC-10.

I’m certainly no artist, and this is coming from a 25 year old memory, but here’s roughly the layout I remember:

The purple button was more in the center of the watch face.

Is it at an angle like that?

Yes. I’m positive about that aspect of the design. I found old sketches I did of it in my school notebook, and that’s what made me remember it.

Show us the sketches, that would be so cool, retro 80 digital watch art!

Sorry it took me so long, but I finally found it! This is as close to a contemporary sketch as I could get!
