No, but it has a tuning fork and makes a neat humming noise. Oh, and it runs on mercury oxide batteries, which are now illegal. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

No. If I wanted a laser beam, I'd just buy one of those laser pointer keychains. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

I've got a small stash of the mercury cells, all of which were manufactured before they were banned worldwide. Not counting the one in my watch, I've got two left. Once those go, I doubt I'll find any others. So I'll have to try running the watch off a silver oxide battery, which has a slightly higher voltage. It should work okay, although I might have to have the watch "rephased." BTW, the mercury batteries were banned for environmental reasons, and I try to be responsible by sending dead ones to an appropriate facility for disposal.

I hear that... my watch used to belong to my deceased grandfather. I'd be pretty peeved if anyone stole it. (Note to self: record the serial number!) Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

I have one too, but I'd still feel like I'm missing something without my watch on my wrist. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Truth be told, I have about eight or nine watches lying around unused. I do actually use my cell phone for my time piece.
My favorite of my watches? My solid black Swatch Watch circa 1986. |

I can't find a picture of my Fendi watch, it is similar to this with a silver face which is reversible and has detachable silver pieces on the strap. I think mine has stopped being manufactured as I have only seen the simpler versions now. | |

I've never owned a watch... that must be why I'm late for everything. Anyway I don't believe in time, Prince told me not to. | |
