My uncle was an Air Force pilot in the 50's and 60's; he can! He can use a slide rule, too.

I'm not sure, should I feel old...ish because I can use a slide rule?

Absolutely NOT! The current generation carries their brains in their back pocket in their "smart phone". People can no longer think without batteries. You're better than that.

Are you kidding, I'm using an 1885 Chandler and Price letter press to reply to this.

I took printing in high school. I ran an 11x17 Davidson Duolith. We had three Heidelbergs; two offset and a letterpress. They do pretty work.

While I enjoy the watch, neat gadget and conversation piece, I am actually thinking of listing it on eBay even if at a loss for the dozen or so times I have used it.
I realize I just don't use it enough based on my daily 60% plus battery life remaining. Most of the 40% or less used is from being on. Interesting as the biggest concern with it is battery life. Haven't really decided yet because on the other hand, I love watches, period. It's paid for.

My first job after graduating HS was working in a print shop making diplomas on a platen press and pulling the type from a California job case.
