- I've gone through a number of cool watches through the ages, all of
- which I have in a drawer somewhere:
-
- - A vintage Casio C-80 calculator watch...the first! circa 1979
- - A Casio CA-90 with that stupid little video game, circa 1981
- - Seiko data watch...the one with the keyboard, circa 1984
- - Casio SCIENTIFIC calculator watch, circa 1986...this one was great
- for high-school chem & physics
- - Casio data bank, with alpha search, circa 1988
-
- Now that I use an HP-48SX for math and keep my phone #'s in a Psion 3,
- my current high tech watch is a Breitling Aerospace....rotating bezel,
- quartz analog display with two multifunctional digital displays in back
- of it, with functions available by rotating the crown to scroll though
- them, and pushing or pulling it to activate the desired function. Also
- has a second, alternate time dial set into the edge of the band.
