  13. Does noone else remember the HP-1?  The first calculator watch I ever
  14. saw, from Hewlett Packard in the 1970s.  Four functions, an equals key
  15. (no ENTER), and included a stylus that you used to push the buttons.
  16. $600 at fine jewelers everywhere.

  18. I still wear my Casio TC-600, a four-banger with a touch screen instead
  19. of a button array.  One good scratch took out the touch screen and the
  20. calculator functions, but I keep it because the alarm/timer functions
  21. are good and because the display is the best I've seen.
