I agree with Richard and would award a bonus to Casio for innovation.

And actually true! That is in terms of LCD modules produced. That is one of Collins (Hong Kong) many brands of LCD watch and in terms of sheer volume they beat all the others put together. They manufactured modules for many other Companies and while you would be hard pressed to find a watch with Collins name on the case (there are a few, mostly LED though) in you look inside lots of low/medium end LCD watches you find the Collins name (or one of there many other trading names).

:Prost: Tom I didn't know that, although I thought that the claim would be true in some way, and at worst spurious.
I guess the word "Leading" is the leading word in question. :ironie:
