Amiga watch in Weird Al 'Ebay' vid

At 2:11, the lyric 'sell me your watch please'; the maker of this vid, somehow came across a picture of an Amiga branded wristwatch (when the hell did they make - or buy and rebrand - those?)

Not really as good as the topic title makes it seem, since it's obviously a fan made video; but I'm curious about these Amiga watches, anyone here got one? Any good?

So set it for two weeks into the future or past, whichever direction works better. :-P


Somebody probably found an actual ebay acuction for one of them things, thought it was funny for whatever reason (or it was the first watch auction to come up at the time) and got permission to use the picture from it, rather than actually had a watch at the video studio.
