Armitron FM Radio Watch 40-6351
More actions
The Armitron FM Stereo Radio Watch 40/6351 is a 1981 black resin LCD watch with a complete FM stereo receiver built into the case: a ridged tuning dial sweeps a printed 88–108 MHz scale, STEREO and STATION lamps confirm lock, and the broadcast plays only through headphones plugged into the watch's headset jack, with the LCD doubling as time and frequency readout. (Digital Watch Library) It belongs to the brief early-1980s window when makers squeezed radio receivers into wristwatches before pocket devices made the idea redundant, and Armitron, the Armin/Gluck family's American value brand, sold it as a novelty rather than a catalog staple, so working examples with the original headset are scarce; surviving pieces carry the module marking 4201.
