The oval clock had glowing orange numerals. Not at all like the display that the watch had either. I guess for a non-technical person, they would think that it is similar, but those two displays have nothing in common other than they display numerals. A 7-segment LED display (the watch) illuminates individual elements which make up the numeral, whereas the oval clock used nixie tubes which have individual neon elements which are already formed in the shape of each numeral - all ten of them - inside the glass envelope. The LED display uses very low voltage to illuminate each element, whereas the nixie tube uses high voltage for each numeral.

I had one of the Japanese knock-offs in the mid-1970's, and I can confirm they were accurate (or inaccurate to be exact) to 3 seconds a month,...give or take a few seconds. The thing is, it is now 50 years later and I still love that "timeless" design. The video forgot to mention that seeing the display numbers while outside on a bright sunny day was pretty much impossible...lol...not even James Bond could accomplish that mission, and that was the deal breaker for a lot of people, but not for me! I only cared about how it looked on my wrist! Half of the time I wore it, the battery had died out. Oh, by the way, the batteries didn't last very long, either. Also, on the knock-off's, the glass would scratch very easily, so after a couple of months it looked like it had been through hell and back. So, as a computer, the design was useless, but as a piece of stylish jewelry, it was awesome! For a couple of months, anyway. Give or take 3 seconds...lol...😉😂⌚

I will be binging this whole channel while working this coming week! Great content!

Nice! Such a cool history. I see they’ve released a reissue with green LED for the matrix movie

Really enjoyed your video 👍 Can’t wait for plsr to arrive!

Thanks for the video and happy new year!

I remember my uncle buying one of these in the 70s. My dad at the time thought he was nuts and he should have bought a Rolex Submariner instead think at the time you could have bought 2 Subs for the price of this. My uncle was what we would probably call a tec nerd today he had to have the latest technology..

Does anyone know what the original retail price was for the Sears Roebuck Co. LED watch R5?

One of these watches was gifted to President Gerald Ford

Hi..I have a Tiffany gold and wanted to get it fixed. Do you offer service? Cheers

do you repair some LED pulsars like p2?

The pulsar is the best...... I have 300 hundred of them 14k and 18k. Pulsar..

Pushing that button every time you need to check the time would get old fast

Could care less about Johnny Carson, and overrated California. Johnny was not funny.

Interesting. At the beginning of this video, I see a _full stop_ between hour and minute, the other images show _colon._ My theory is, that the _h:mm_ format started from the USA and conquered the world (before the British, German orthography used h.mm format, also the Soviet ones). So I'm a bit confused. Today is almost impossible to buy a new watch with h.mm format, _month.date_ date format or non-English day (maybe German, but it's rare), everything seem globalised and unified. (Yeah, _Rolex_ has _Latin_ and Spanish full word day-date watch, but it's not common, even if there are a lot of _Spanish_ speakers on the American continent. The Russian-Belorussian watches use h:mm unfortunately for a long time, not as before. Once I saw also _h,mm_ format too. : )
