The site says the 80's, but there are too many factors against this.
1. No one in the 80's was ready for an LED look-a-like watch.
2. The buttons have the styling of 90's+ modern digital watches.
3. The packaging is too slick for the 80's.
4. I don't think that type of back lighting (EL?) was around back then.
I thought it came out around 2000/2001, but if anyone knows the exact date, do tell.
Thanks,
Jeff
