     Back in the late 1950s, many TV commercials were live, especially the 
Timex watch commercials with John Cameron Swayze.  One evening he was 
demonstrating the durability of a Timex watch by attaching it to the propeller 
of an outboard motor, dropping it into a tank of water, then running the motor 
for about 30 seconds.  When he lifted the motor out of the tank, the watch was 
gone.  I was watching that commercial when it happened.

     The watch was found a couple of weeks later, embedded in the ceiling.  
They wound it up and it still ran.

     Try doing that with your iWatch.
