Sanyo LED / Poor Man's Pulsar Sport

Post02 Aug 2012, 07:14

Hi.

I thought I'd share a few photos of an uncommon LED watch model. I'm a fan of square or TV faced LED watches and although I'd like a Pulsar 3502 Sport, the prices in the past few years have become prohibitive. I recently got this Sanyo model, which I have not seen before and has a similar shape. The thin case and high quality integrated bracelet make this watch very confortable to wear. I really like the styling - perhaps this is almost as nice as a Pulsar Sport (and probably rarer)!

I don't think it was U.S. only since it came all the way from Turkey!

As always, nice catch there Abe. I never knew this model existed and I'm sure the push buttons are not finicky like the touch sensitive buttons on the Sport.

So you were the one who won this watch on auction Abe! :-P In fact, I was looking for this one when it was for sale, and I was thinking to bid, but later I've changed my mind as I've preferred to focus myself on the Pulsar P2 that I've managed to win (and I'm waiting its arrival since 20 days... Shipping something from the USA to Italy in the late July isn't something I recommend to people, as it might take even one or two months before its arrival! :-| )

The watch looks really in good conditions, too bad that the logo fades off so easily. What are your impressions about this watch? Does it have a light sensor?

Looks a lot like one of the Dugena (and Avia) cases that held those Sanyo modules. Very good modules. Nice watch. Yeah, interesting band, I'd agree it looks just like the band on the Vantage Appollo.
