RETRO

LCD 84

A retro segment LCD, ghost segments and all.

Coming to Connect IQ Unlock €2.99

LCD 84

A retro segment LCD for your wrist: real seven-segment digits with faint unlit segments, like the digital watch you wore in the 80s.

What you get

  • Big HH:MM built from real segments, with the dim "ghost 88" of unlit segments on AMOLED screens
  • Seconds in small segments next to the time (on Instinct: in the round top-right window), shown only while the screen is awake
  • Weekday in dot-matrix letters and the date in small segments
  • LCD indicators: alarm bell, phone connection and a 5-segment battery gauge
  • Two numeric readouts at the bottom with short labels
  • Negative style (light segments on black) or Positive style (dark segments on a tinted LCD background)
  • 4 segment colours: LCD grey, amber, cyan, green
  • English or Polish weekday and labels
  • Always-on mode for AMOLED: thin dimmed time segments only, shifted every minute against burn-in
