Au contraire - Accutrons are passe'. My partner collects them and repairs
them. (Still pretty cool, though.) He also does pocket watches, which
has led me to wonder about taking a pocket watch case and installing the
electronics from my OnHand PC in it, just for the sake of contrast. I'm
also considering the Timex "Internet Messenger" watches; right now they've
got a deal where you get a year's free service with unlimited text
messages, e-mails, etc. sent to the watch.

single-transistor watch, still a marvel of
electromechanical miniaturization, and a fascinating
history. I expect mine to last a lifetime (as long as
I can find someone to rebuild it every 5 years or so).

How about a Seiko TV Watch? :)
