The Enigmatic Smart Watch

[zeitghost]

Very poor article, as it didn't make clear, or even begin to try and explain, how a gadget you press buttons on and see random characters displayed on an LED could possibly work as a useful watch (or, come to that, be much of a challenge to make).

Perhaps is there a conventional time display, and the "enigma" characters are a separate unrelated feature?

As far as I can see (without my glasses), all it does is encrypt stuff.

Which is why someone should invent a watch Bombe to decrypt it.

Though I suppose that since you've got the wheel settings, the stecker settings and all the rest of it you can use the damn thing to decrypt its own output.

As I said, people do the strangest things.

Next we need the Smart Watch with a Bombe built in so you can decipher the output of your Enigmatic Watch & tell the time.

I though this was the watch of choice when making a bomb
