Yes, it's a pretty neat watch.  It displays two lines of text while the
alarm is beeping.  It will handle up to 80 Daily, Weekly, or One-Time
alarms.  (It only has one alarm you can set from the watch, the rest must
be downloaded.)

It uses the game port, so any Apple II can talk to it.  The software is
written in AppleSoft so you can update the database at any clock speed but
you MUST be running at 1mhz. to download to the watch, (internal time, etc.)

>Just wondering if it would be worth getting.

I used mine for quite a while until the batt. died.  I haven't been able to
find a replacement batt. so far, but I think I'll start looking again... ;)
