Anyone remember those awful LED watches?



YES! In 1974, when I was putting myself through college, I had a part time job at Kmart, and those red LED watches were selling for $90.00! Battery eatin' suckers and you had to punch a button to see what time it was.

A couple years later the Quartz came out. Constant pulsing and only needed to punch a button to get it to light up to read it in the dark. 7 bucks!

Kmart was blowing the ;blue light' special on the LED for $20 and couldn't hardly give them away. Same with the LED calculators.
