1989 WM-BF59: Mega Bass Goes Sports

The WM-BF59 aimed straight at late-80s fitness culture. It combined water resistance, AM/FM radio, auto-reverse, and Mega Bass, favoring convenience and punchy sound over mechanical tricks. Built in Taiwan, it shows the Sports line settling into a mature, mass-market category. Familiarity, not surprise, was the point.
