This is the Conversation Forum for The History of the Digital Watch << For True HitchHiker's Fans The future is now >> Subject: Sinclair or Texas first in the UK Posted Apr 29, 2003 by C Hawke   Posting 1 As a postscript I *think* the SInclair Black watch marginally pipped texas in the UK as the 1st LED watch - I asked for one for xmas, but with Sinclairs normal manufacturing and distribution problems I ended up with (and still have got) a Texas one.

So I think it is fair, regardless of who was first to give credit for Texas, as mine is still working fine 25 years on!
