Zeon Projector watch

At one time, it seemed that projector alarm clocks were the popular thing, projecting the time on the ceiling so you didn't meet to turn to look at the clock. Of course, if you can do it in a clock, why not a watch.

That's exactly what the watch manufacturer Zeon did with their projector watch. On the right side of the watch is a large cylinder shaped add-on, which has a red light source, a display, and a lens. When the light button is pressed (which is not the big red button on the front, but on the left side), the light is activated and the time is projected. The projector shows 4 digits of the time, along with the Zeon name. The watch also has stopwatch and alarm modes, and these are also able to be shown on the projector. For the stopwatch when it is projected, it only shows whole seconds and skips the 10th and 100th of a second digits.

On the front is a normal LCD display with 6 digits for time, and a day and date above. On the front are the buttons for mode (-the big red one), and for the stopwatch modes. The first part of the strap is plastic, and so curves around your wrist, and the rest of the strap is fabric and velcro (with a Zeon branded leather tip).

As the projector takes much more power than a normal watch, this watch is powered by 2 batteries, a CR2032 and an LR41.

Thos model is a basic Zeon version, and on the back is has the number ZR22066. Online, I've seen Batman, Thundercats, and Nerf versions, but I've not found the basic Zeon version like this one anywhere. For the branded ones, the original RRP was between £15 and £20.
