Wrist Watch
Back in the late 80s early 90s a friend of mine bought a wrist watch that in addition to all the normal functions it had an unusual alarm clock. A small "hand" would move a few mm out of the watch and "hit" you just enough to wake you up/notify you etc.
At the time I thought it was cool but nothing more. Now I am looking for one but I have no idea where to find one or if anyone even makes these anymore. Or even how to call them.
I have lost contact with my friend since the mid-late 90's so I can't ask him either.

Can anyone help me?

I've visions of a boxing glove emerging from my watch on a scissor lever and hitting me in the face. But I'm guessing that's not plausible.

Did the "hand" press into your wrist out of sight like from the back, or actually out of the front/side? Can't say I've ever seen one like this tho.

IIRC, from the top/front side.

Yeah. I had 2 of them. It even came with a little joystick that you inserted into the button. Had a whole crap load of fun playing that thing.
