i have several LEDs (Pulsar, Omega) but no HP-01s.

Earlier this year I was going through some old boxes trying to do a general cleanup and ran across my old Seiko C153-5007 calculator watch. I haven't seen it in over 20 years. It has a LCD display and requires a stylus to operate the small calculator keys. I put a new battery in it and it started right up and works great. This was Seiko's first calculator watch in 1978.

I now proudly wear this watch every day.

While it's not the same as the HP-01, Pulsar or Omega, it looks good to me and I'm not afraid to use it as a daily watch.
