After 2 years of work, I finally finished my first (and only) "nixie"
watch....... OK, so it's panaplex watch....whatever.
I still dont know how long the battery life is. When I did accelerated
battery-life testing on my demo board a few months ago, it
extrapolated to about 2.5 months. So far, it's gone a bit longer than
that on a full-charge and there's still a nice charge on it.
The sad story about this watch is that *_after_* I sealed the case
(yep, permanently...), then the charging terminal for the battery
developed a broken connection. Murphy's Law....So I must either
destroy the handmade plexiglass case, which took many hours to build,
or drill some tiny holes into it so I can pin-probe the battery
terminals to charge it.
It's a ridiculous thing to wear because of the size and weight; I'll
see what the other engineers at work say about it tomorrow. They think
I'm a tad kooky to design a watch with a 40+ year-old display when my
day-job is designing 10nm ICs.
Heh-heh....notice I didn't show how tall the watch is in the
photo....it aint no iWatch. Probably 1 inch tall.
I just finished it in a nick of time, too. My wife and I saw
"Tomorrowland" last weekend and she was awed by Goerge Clooney's IN-18
nixie clock and gave me an assignment to build one for her. Definitely
the best task on my honey-do list......will it really be 12 tubes, or
only 6. Still pondering that.
