Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a calendar device that displays dates corresponding to days of the week.

Recently, wristwatches have been developed that display a calendar using a liquid crystal display or the like and have an AT function.

However, this wristwatch generally has a monochrome display and does not have a display mechanism to distinguish between the number of elapsed days and the number of remaining days. Another problem is that the position of the days of the week moves each time the month changes, making it very difficult to see.

On the other hand, manual calendar devices have been developed that fix the days of the week and move the date. It does not have a display function to distinguish between the number of days remaining and the number of days remaining.

The present invention was developed in response to such conventional circumstances, and is a calendar device that can automatically change the date for each month and also allows one to easily and reliably know the number of days that have passed and the number of remaining days. This is what we are trying to provide.
