    It's a watch? It's a spaceship? It's a power plant? It's a bird? It's a plane?

    Are my eyes deceiving me or is the Green button at the top a "Nerdy" button?

    Might as well say "Nerdy", but it actually reads "EnergyTank". At least that's what mine says....

    With Concord, you'll be interested for every second, minute, hour, day, and quarter cycle of the moon...

    Contemplates posting a HB idea "Combination Watch"
    A watch that requires some complex puzzle to be solved before releasing the time
    (Haven't thought it through yet, but might require differing levels of complexity dependant on the info/accuracy/detail required - Antikythera Mechanism may have been a precursor, but, as we well know, the user got fed up and chucked it overboard)

    Perhaps you could base your watch on the Chinese wooden knot puzzles which require the manipulation of a variety of pieces in a precise order in order to disassemble and reveal the intricate Concord watchworks hidden inside. You might call it a "Con-Gordian Knot Watch".

    Nice, but the display is too big and you don't have to push a button to see the time.

    (The orginal LED watches made you do that to conserve the battery. That made checking the time a two-handed operation.)

    I had one with a green display-worked fine until I spilt my Tizer on it.
