Casio's going retro again, and it just crossed the wire on Tech After Dark. I'm Nova, here with Ohm. They've unveiled the L F-40W digital watch in three colorways. Oh, it gets better! Notebookcheck reports that rows of bar-shaped windows below the time track the passing seconds. Bars, Nova! For seconds! Yes, Ohm, the watch knows what time it is. It's 4,400 yen including tax in Japan, and release is scheduled for November 2026.

My analysis, Nova? That steady price matters, since it matches the L F-20W and L F-30W. Bzzt, though: pricing and dates outside Japan haven't been announced. So there's your catch. The full Notebookcheck post is linked. For Tech After Dark, I'm Nova. See you next time.
