LCD Watches – Liquid Crystal Quartz Digital
LED Watches – Light Emitting Diode

Now to be honest I never really fancied these watches, especially the LED ones. I couldn’t get over the thought that to see the time you needed one hand free to press the button to reveal the time. I must be just old fashioned as I still prefer the dial style watches.

But they were very very popular in the 70s and when I was at school. They even started integrating calculators inside them from what I remember.

Anyways you had to be pretty well off to buy one of these

Price circa 1976 from Argos £50-60 so well out of my £2.50 weekly paperboy wage.
