My every day utility watch is Solar powered with battery back up.
Charger works even under candle light. If and when power is getting

stopped yet. Navy SEAL was issued Rolex submarine but now they wear
Casio G-shock I heard. May be today's kids will have hard time to read
time on analog watch.


Things have changed so much just since I got married let alone since I
was a child. The sky's the limit for what might be a possibility in the

Years ago, the original Star Trek had the communicators,
flip em open and talk at the device.

Now I carry a flip cell phone, and I can flip it open,
and talk at the device. Internal speaker is loud enough
that I can hear the other person. I keep wanting to say
"Scotty; two to engage"


My buddy has a real Dick Tracy 2 way wrist radio (phone)
