I don't know about that but we have an alarm clock that displays the time in red on the ceiling of our bedroom. it's not bright enough to disturb our sleep but it's great if you wake in the night and want to know what timwe it is.

By the end of this century they claim you will be able to have a cellphone implanted in your head where you can get calls, go online, get the time, weather reports, play games, listen to music, and probably watch movies. It will be controlled by your thoughts, so if you want the time, just think about a clock. The problem I see with this is how to shut the damn thing off when you're trying to sleep, or want Microsoft or Google to stop reading your mind.

Yes, my grandfathers old watch... I found it very useful when I built a Maplin geiger counter kit ~20 years ago.
and you have to put up with the released radon-222 gas! Part of the safety advice (below link) is not to keep it on your bedside table.
Why ever not? They work, I have one. Clearly you can't say the same about everything at poundland but if Argos can sell 'em for =A32.50 then =A31 is probably about the right price.

Battery !=3D digital.
Just get an anlog one with luminous hands.

I am surprised that there is nothing like this available. It shouldn't be that hard or that expensive to design something that has a small photovoltaic cell to charge a small battery during the day, even from ambient light, and then dimly light a set of LEDs when dark using a low-power circuit to generate a low mark/space ratio driver to conserve power.
Not done the sums though so I could be way out.

There are very few battery clocks that don't use a crystal and a *digital* divider to keep the time.
As well as all of the above, the gov. will be able to read your ind and control you.
As well as all that, the gov. will be able to read your mind through it, control you and know exactly where you are at all times.

There are some, but that's not really relevant, other than Dennis trying to twist the argument for his own ends, again.
The terms analog and digital, in refererence to clocks, usually refer to the display. I don't give a shit what technology is used to keep the time so long as it meets my needs for accuracy.

A store.
Shiny side out, harry!

OH MY GOD! The British have their version of our Dollar Store.
ROTFLMAO
TDD
Actually we go one better - 99p stores :-)
And these stores are stocked with items from which former colony?
TDD
I'm not aware that China (or at least the vast majority of it) was ever a British colony.
Where else did you think all that cheap tat comes from?
Not entirely. Some time ago (perhaps now 10 years) I wanted such a watch. I went through a number (agreeing with the supplier they'd come back to him if they were not really "luminous") till I tried a Sekonda. The hands were luminescent but *the dial was properly luminous*. So I wrote to Sekonda, asking how they managed this and whether they could source luminous hands. They could and did; I could not have had better service. When years later it broke they fixed it FOC, and told me that they had also replaced the battery as a courtesy.
I thought their slogan was a joke, but it's been absolutely right IME: "Beware expensive imitations".
