Ah, but then you would kill the market.
I don't have one, but I do quite like those with a nice soothing female voice. brian

Have not had a watch since mobile phones, the only use for a watch today is as Bling.
Sorry but actually getting out my mobile solely to read the time is something I would rather avoid. Despite having two mobiles on my desk, computer monitor, wired phone with time display - I still use my wristwatch for noting when I start and finish activities.
How about caesium watches?
No need for radio-control...
g just got a new Casio "solar" watch - > because it was cheaper then replac ing the strap and glass on my old one - > I'll see how the solar bit works. > I wonder if they will have the same problem as the other battery-less te chnologies such as "Seiko Kinetic" that use (wet) capacitor technology to s tore the power. The capacitor fails after a few years, or sooner if you lea ve it to fully discharge. -- mailto:news{at}admac(dot}myzen{dot}co{dot}uk
Ah! I've got one of those that I wear as a 'high days and holidays' watch, and I've noticed that, once 'wound up', it seems to run down a lot quicker than it used to (although someone suggested that maybe I'm just an idle bas tard who doesn't move around enough to keep it wound up...).

Snap; although I probably use the PC clock icon more than my wristwatch. Bu t however little I use the watch, I always miss it if I'm not wearing it.
Someone, who will remain nameless, has been known to ask me the time, after looking at her own watch. A good example of form defeating function, the markings are a simple 4 identical rectangular blobs. For significant parts of the day, the actual time is somewhat harder to read than a sundial.
Whilst on the subject, what is this whole thing about paying obscene amounts for something incredibly chunky with more dials than a cockpit, and certified to be able to handle immersion significantly deeper than the human body can stand?

Battery? I have to wind up my Rusian military watch:-)
I inherited my father's analogue mechanical Swiss dress watch, which has gold hands on a gold face. It's almost impossible to read.
Watch? What is this device of which you write?
