MAKE magazine contributor John Maushammer jerry-rigged a working Pong wristwatch prototype inspired by the Pong wall clock. He still needs to fit all the guts into a watch case, but we're already impressed by his watch-making skills (video here). He writes:
"The display is a small (1.2") 96x64 yellow-and-white OLED display. OLEDs are neat because [they] only consume power proportional to the number of pixels that are turned on -- for a game like Pong, that's a relatively small 1-2% of the display, so the power requirements are pretty small ... hopefully I can get a day's use out of the watch, and then recharge the battery each night. The charger would also automatically set the time, so there will be no need for buttons on the watch."
