It reminds me of one of my first watches as a kid (I think it was actually my second)...
This one is by Seiko. Still works but no battery in it at the moment. Back then Casio was the popular brand for "digital" watches in America. So ones like your Montana or mine are somewhat unusual. As you can tell from the condition I wore it for many years.
I had an odd one back in the day- a Fairchild Timeband; LCD digital with Tritium backlighting, no light button to push, took it years in a dark drawer to stop glowing. (Eventually my wrist stopped glowing too!) Currently using a vintage Casio.
It's funny what was done with hazardous materials in the past. I remember during my radiology training there was a chapter on the history of X-rays. They used to blast an open X-ray generator tube directly at the patient's entire body continuously, while looking at the live image on the screen behind the patient to read the study. No film, just sat there and watched as the X-rays are bombarding both the patient and the doctor real time. Needless to say, doctors that did X-rays didn't live long. Wonder what the future will find that we are currently doing that's equally deadly.
