Dan Akroyd wore [possibly] a Quartzmatic in the Blues Brother's movie(original). In one of the promotional pictures, John Belushi is seen wearing [presumably] the same watch - Dan is missing his.

I know Michael J. Fox (playing Marty McFly) wore a Casio LCD watch, as did Christopher Lloyd (Doc) in some scenes.
I don't know which models though.
There is a picture of Sting in the '80's wearing a Casio LCD too....
it's floating out there on web somewhere.

IIRC Sammy Davis Jr wore a P1.

M. Emmet Walsh in the Movie BLADE RUNNER is shown wearing an unknown LED looking watch here in this screen grab.
It almost looks like the prop department fused 2 LED Watches together (First duel time zone LED?).

I noticed that one too when I watched Blade Runner a few months ago. I was watching it with some friends and not at my home - by all means they would NOT let me rewind and single-step through the scene . And ofter the movie I had already forgotten about it
So thanks for posting!

Dave Prowse (Darth Vader)

Spotted what looked like a Hamilton LCD in a movie called 'Space Station 76' didn't know how to get a screen grab but if anyone wants to sneek-a-peek the watch shows up at around the 53 minute point. I wouldn't recommend the film (it's rubbish) but if anyone does happen to watch it - have a look, I think it is the model shown below.

Richard Pryor wears a Trafalgar Talking watch (1981) with a prop keyboard (type thing) added on top, in the film superman 3 (1983):

Hello! My first contribution is to note a prominent television appearance of the Pulsar P3, a second Pulsar LED worn on television by the late Bill Bixby.

Bixby is cited for wearing his P2 on The Magician and off-screen. He also wore a P3 in the show that my generation best knows him for, The Incredible Hulk. I've posted an album of this appearance here: http://imgur.com/a/guV3T

Assuming the character Dr. David Bruce Banner would find it cost-prohibitive to replace his watch after every Hulk-out, Bixby does not wear a watch in most of this TV series. However he does wear the Pulsar Date/Command Model 3100 in nearly every scene of the show's first hour, before Banner first becomes the Hulk. I suspect it was Bixby's own watch due to his previous Pulsar wearing, the fact that by 1977 the P3 was an old model from a company going out of business, the fact that insert shots show Bixby's hand double wearing the wrong watch, as though the prop department didn't possess the watch Bixby wore, and finally the fact that the watch inexplicably vanishes just before Banner's first Hulk-out, saving it from obligatory on-screen destruction.

Stainless steel Pulsar LED watches look perfectly like something from a 1970s science fiction or comic book realm, so Bixby was perfectly accessorized for his debut as a prototype live-action Marvel Universe character. Bill Bixby in The Incredible Hulk is currently available on Netflix.
