I had one for a while as a kid. I thought it was kind of neat to be able to tell the time in the dark. I hope my arm doesn’t rot and fall off.

So did I! Growing up, as a 7 or 8 year old I remember holding it close to my eye several times before I went to sleep, to see if I could see the little atomic explosions that gave the light. I could have sworn I could!

Now, as a 70 year old, I have had cataracts and had 'em removed in both eyes, and keratoconus in (B) eyes too..

Coincidence?
