This junk bought back memories

Otaga LED watch - circa 1974 - excellent working condition, rare retro watch

Didn't have that one but I had an LED watch and thought my life was complete (I was probably about 7!)

Memories came back about the fact there were joys in the 70's including tennis on an Atari.

Why the heck I can't get excited about the latest gadgets/games that come out I have no idea despite the fact they are so much more advanced

I want another LED watch now!

I remember the kids at school all wanting to wear the LED watch of the rich kid that owned one!

Wow - that brings back memories and you know - it really would look good now. What's that company that does them nutty LED watches????

My Dad still has something similar. I could never fathom out the attraction of a watch that showed absolutely nothing until a button was depressed. But people are paying a fortune for them these days.
