very cool watch! 🥳😎

I had a TI in black plastic. Great cool watch. I pressed the button so many times a day, it needed lots of batteries. Mom hated that watch. 😂

That brings back memories. I saw my first digital watch in a James bond movie, and after that movie went to the jewelry store a few doors down. The theater was in a shopping mall. The guy at the jewelry store knew what i was talking about and produced one from the cabinet. It was super cool but at 500 dollars there was no way. I was a kid and at that time 500 was probably 2k. in todays dollars. I eventually got an armatron, (i think it was), and wore it everyday. Through everyday use it got a very scratched up crystal. One day in school plastics shop i took a chance. I sat at the buffing wheel, put compound on the wheel, held my wrist up to the wheel and while still wearing the watch and buffed the crystal. Real fast on the compound side, then real fast on the buff side. To my delight it was like going back in time to when the watch was new, as it was perfect. I remember putting the watch in a drawer for safe keeping but mom and dad cleaned my room for other uses. I never saw it again. I think those thin, bright ,crisp, digits are bad ass and wish a company would make a watch like the old days, in this day and age. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks so much for sharing the memories! I've been rewatching the Bond films recently and getting starry-eyed over those early digital watches--which I'm pretty sure are even more expensive now, if you can find them, then they were new! You're exactly right about those thin, bright, crisp digits. Nothing else looks quite like that. New LEDs are just a pale imitation, even if orders of magnitude more energy-efficient. The only modern contender might be the Hamilton PSR, but I haven't seen one in person to evaluate the display quality. And it's not an inexpensive watch. I, too, wish that a company nowadays would release a properly old-fashioned LED digital in a properly old-fashioned price range! You and I can't be the only potential customers, right? 🍻
