Remember the first watches used LED’s that required you to press a button to see the time. I haven’t packed a watch since my Casio Data Bank watch with the phone dialer built in, died.

Just cell phone now. I started with the first Samsung Palm powered then their flip model came along. Those died and I switched to the iPhone, never looked back. In fact I don’t even need a phone anymore I just keep it for the clock {:-)

the first digital watch maybe...not the first watch. IIRC, fred flintstone had a sundial on his wrist. I had a red LED watch when they first came out. They weren’t cheap to buy and they used *TWO* hearing aid batteries.
