Buzz Lightyear: Getting Ever Warmer Started conversation Dec 12, 2002
I confess I ain't that big a fan of watches sticking to your wrists 'n' all with so many other ways to tell you the time (clocks, mobile phones, computer...etc.) But I'd gladly wear them if Q added a few extras!!
Live & Let Die had an awesome one: an electro-magnet able to deflect the course of a bullet or equally set to attract [I recall Roger Moore using it to prevent himself becoming alligator meat! ]. Then, its rim can rotate at such a speed to form a miniature saw. As useful as a Swiss Army knife!!
Or, alternatively, you could take the one with a laser as in GoldenEye.
Another Omega Seamaster watch in Tomorrow Never Dies with a high frequency sound emitter enough to shatter glass (& probably silence a rancorous crowd! ) with a mine detonator. This had a grappling hook in the World Is Not Enough which could lift a person!
Given how prone I am to smilies I wonder if we can get a James Bond smily?

Yes, the watches! Oh how I love the watches.
The only reason I buy diving watches is because the dial rotates, like Bond's watches.
I have a lot of high tech watches, my latest is a radio sync watch that keep perfect GMT time.
the only problem is you soon realise that everyone else's watch does not. I turn up at a meetin on time and everyone's waitinf for me saying: "Where the hell have you been?"

The watches get my vote, but I can't help wondering what might happen if the things they do were to happen prematurely. I certainly wouldn't want to wear the laser one unless I needed a laser that day......
