That's an eyebrow-raiser...never heard of this one before . But, I think Time Computer's Auto-Command was a more practical and elegant solution. ;-)

Maybe, but how many of these have you seen before? I had no idea such a thing as this even existed. I would guess they neither made or sold many of these...

It looks like it would be a battery killer, turning the display on every time you flexed your wrist back.

I always thought part of the charm of LEDs is you have to push the button to turn on the little machine. There's something comforting about finding that the computer has been keeping track of the time in your absence...... :-)
