Retro LED Watch

Take me back to the 70s! This cool looking retro watch caught my attention the other day. It’s a watch with the old LEDs for the numbers that would give anyone old enough to remember the first calculators a warm glow inside them – c’mon, admit it! The thought I had was how much easier
