I remember when those watches first went on sale. I cut out an advertisement that I still have, it was over $1000 and people were buying them. Late 1970s. A few years later digital watches had more features and were like $40. It’s expensive to buy cutting edge! I haven’t worn a wristwatch for the last ten years; too many other gadgets have time displays (like my cellphone) and made the wristwatch obsolete.
I’m still looking for an old school windup watch. I hate having to go to the store and buy a battery!
