They're available in both silver and gold and believe this one is a reissue given that I bought it new and the layout is slightly different to older ones I've found online. Not 100% on the dial size but my wrist is just on 7" so I think it's around 35-36mm across and a little longer in length, the band tapers quite a bit to the inside of the wrist. It's very light of course and only 8mm thick. To some this may be the ugliest watch you've ever seen, but others may think it's pretty cool.
This is the Citizen Ana-Digi Temp, it came out in the early 80's and sports a long list of functions 12/24 hour time (analogue and digital), Calendar, Stopwatch, Light, Alarm, Dual-Time, Temperature (though this is never accurate on the wrist!). /r/WatchExchange for buying, selling, trading watchesīanner photo courtesy of /u/northscylla Please take a look at our community rules and FAQ before contributing!./r/WatchHorology our sister subreddit for horology, watch appreciation, history, technical discussion and related topics.Simple Questions and Recommendations ThreadĬome hang out in the Official /r/Watches Discord!

Citizen ana digi temp watch plus#
The Ana-Digi Temp has a dual time feature (the two analog registers at the top of the dial can be independently set) as well as a separate digital time readout, plus an alarm, date, and, of course, a thermometer. You can also see a clear line between the Ana-Digi Temp and modern smartwatches, which do all sorts of things apart from time telling in formats that traditional watches simply can’t replicate. This watch is pure gadgetry, and doesn’t have a lot to do with centuries old art of watchmaking at all, which is part of its appeal. There is a techy aspect to the Ana-Digi Temp that would seem to put pure technological innovation ahead of horology. This is pure 80s nostalgia in a very different way than some watches from G-Shock and Timex that we’ve seen in recent years that hit similar notes. This release recreates the much more common silver colorway, and is a little bit more under the radar than a gold plated, wood dialed watch, even given the Ana-Digi Temp’s unusual case shape and display.
That release from last year also featured a wood grain dial, a deep 80s throwback if there ever was one. What we have here follows a collaboration between the Japanese retailer and Citizen from last year, where the two brands joined to release a limited edition gold tone version of the Ana-Digi Temp. Let’s put it this way: if you thought this was a purely Japanese technology, you’d be mistaken. The Ana-Digi Temp has a complicated and fascinating history, and while you might think the thermometer played the starring role in the watch’s life story, it’s actually the development of the LCD screen, a burgeoning technology at the time, that had the greatest impact on the Ana-Digi Temp and other watches like it. Writer Damon Bailey goes deep into the history of the watch, and contextualizes it properly in the very volatile horological landscape that was the early 1980s. Before we get to the new version of the Ana-Digi Temp, I highly recommend that you head over to Two Broke Watch Snobs and check out this post for a detailed and well researched account of how the watch came to be.
