I use to watch this series when I was a teenager, but it was on early in the morning and I was milking the cows on our farm so I would setup the VCR to record it. When I recorded this episode , my cousin was staying and she change the channel and I never got to see it. Well 20 years later and I finally got to see this episode about The Quartz Watch.

Now you can buy quartz radio controlled watches by Casio called Waveceptor. and you can buy a solar powered radio controlled watch by the same maker.
