Where are the numbers, for goodness sake ?
Any watch that takes more than 2 seconds to work out the time, is frankly, a waste of time. Oh the irony !
Gimme LED any day.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to set the time so it consistently tells me the wrong time.
I feel so
I had an Ericsson phone whose text message editor got slower and slower as the message got longer - towards the 160-character limit, it took it about a second-and-a-half to append a new character.
I soon worked out that internally, the developer was simply appending the character to a string in a language (Java, perhaps?) or using a library which has an immutable string type - so every time you appended a character, it had to determine the length of the existing string, allocate a new block of memory one character longer, copy the existing string into it, and stick the new character on the end.
Rookie mistake - no wonder the UI sucked if they couldn't even do basic software development
(Explaining what happened if one moved the insertion point back a few characters and inserted a new character within the existing string is left as an exercise for the reader.)

My mobile telephone tells the time so I don't wear a watch.
It can be used as a telephone as well, which makes it better than most watches.
