LCD-84

Remember when your watch could do math?

Twenty-five working 80s LCD watches on your Apple Watch — a calculator that converts currency with no signal, your next meeting at a glance, a solunar fishing meter, and three game watches. One tap. That beep.

The calculator

Calculator face with the numpad in use

Start typing and the clock becomes a calculator.

Authentic chain math on an 8-digit display, with backspace and a 2nd key hiding percent, square root, sign flip and the memory bank. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll back through your calculation history and tap any result to recall it.

The same 2nd layer opens a scientific calculator (Pro) — sin/cos/tan and their inverses, ln/log, x², xʸ, 1/x, π and a DEG/RAD toggle — and from there, date math (days between dates, date ± N) and time math (h:mm arithmetic with carry). C always returns to the plain calculator.

%± M+M−MRMC

The converter

Press CONV. Scroll. Tap. It works with no signal.

The converter opens a list instead of making you press a key over and over: turn the Crown to scroll, tap to pick. Every conversion is listed in both directions, so AUD→USD and USD→AUD are separate entries and there is no direction key to remember. The display shows both lines — what you typed above, the result below, each labelled.

Your home currency — any of twelve, set on the iPhone — against the US dollar, euro, yen, pound, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar, on daily European Central Bank rates cached on the watch so they keep working with no signal. Plus kilometres and miles, centimetres and inches, kilos and pounds, Celsius and Fahrenheit, litres and gallons.

New — Agenda

Agenda face: the next calendar event with a countdown, start time and title

What's next, without opening anything.

Your next event as a headline — a countdown, the start time and the title — with the two events after it listed underneath. Turn the Digital Crown to step forward through the week ahead, and long-press to snap back to whatever is next. A meeting already under way reads NOW. Choose which calendars it draws from in the iPhone app, so birthdays and holidays stay out of the way.

Read-only, always: LCD-84 never creates, edits or deletes anything in your calendar.

NEXTIN 25 MINNOWALL DAY

New — Decibel

How loud it is around you, in the language of a 1980s equalizer.

A bar graph of the ambient level through your day, the current reading in decibels, and today's peak — with a marker drawn at 80 dB, the level where sustained noise starts to damage hearing. The number stops being trivia and starts meaning something.

It reads the sound measurements your watch already records, so it charts hours rather than reacting to a clap — and it never switches on the microphone.

Fishing Gear

Fishing Gear face: a solunar fish-activity meter with feeding windows and moon phase

A solunar fish-activity meter on your wrist.

Fish icons rise and fall as the day's bite builds and fades, with the next major and minor feeding windows, the moon phase and the date on one LCD. Turn the Digital Crown to scrub the shown day up to a year ahead — planning a trip — and long-press to snap back to today.

Computed entirely on the watch from the same lunar model that drives Marlin's tide graph. No signal, no location, nothing to configure.

What they do

Sub-modes like the real thing

On Classic, MODE cycles Time, lap Stopwatch, Countdown Timer and Dual Time. The stopwatch and timer keep running even when the app is closed.

Three game watches

A watch first, a game second. UFO Game, Car Race and Number Invaders — tap to play, steer with the Crown, every shot beeps, and the high score sticks.

Sensors on the dial

ABC gives compass, altitude and temperature. Twin Graph stacks steps and heart rate. Activity puts Move, Exercise and Stand around an LCD clock.

Moon, tide and sun

Moon & Sun draws a moon-phase disc over a sunrise-to-sunset arc; Marlin adds a dive-timer bezel with tide and lunar phase.

A pixel world map

The World Timer pairs dual-zone time with a pixel world map — a blinking dot marks your selected zone as you cycle cities with the Crown.

Data Bank

Up to 25 telememo entries, typed on the iPhone or imported straight from Contacts, paged on the wrist exactly like a DBC.

EL backlight & beeps

Tap for the electroluminescent glow. Keys click with haptics and a genuine piezo chirp — or go Silent and keep the haptics alone.

Make it yours

The iPhone app configures everything.

Theme presets, case materials and key styles, LCD colours, digit tint, key beeps and alarm melodies — plus the display blocks each face shows: weather, heart rate, battery, world time, week number, seconds, stopwatch and more. Settings sync to the watch automatically, and a complication on your regular watch face launches LCD-84 with a tap.

LCD-84 Pro — one purchase, yours forever

The free app includes the Calculator and Classic faces, the free themes and the steel case. A single US$2.99 unlock adds the other twenty-three faces, the converter, the Pro theme presets — including the Ice, Grape and Mint jelly-shell packs and the Titanium, Night Ti and Full Gold metal packs — case materials and key styles, the Blue EL backlight, the chirp pack, alarm melodies and full-screen dials. No subscription, ever.

Privacy

No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Location and motion are optional — they power the weather block, sunrise/sunset and the Moon & Sun face, and the ABC face's compass and altitude, with the sun-time maths run entirely on the watch. Heart rate, steps and Activity Rings stay on your watch — they're read from HealthKit to show on the dial and never sent anywhere.
