Which episode did he have the calculator watch?

He had the calculator watch in that episode where Jack was flying the plane and mac was trying to fix the landing gear, nope wait that's not the one.

It was an episode in season 4 I think. An episode with Jack in it. And Mac was walking past either a plane or a helicoptor, I noticed he was wearing a silver and black calculator watch.

Im not great with episode's, I can remember certain scene's.

Here's the one I just bought, since it looked close enough to Mac's to make me happy!
(Too bad the second hand doesn't quite line up with the minute markings! )

Kewl. thats pretty close. looks like a newer version of Macs watch.. very similar just the same.

I've just updated the MOL store to show this watch instead of the one we had there.

This is a closer match to the original watch Mac wore, so we'll sell this one in the store now. Its also the most water resistant of the choices.. water resistant to 80 feet.

I'm not sure what the original one is.. I've warn it in the shower with nor problem.. but thats as far as I've gone. The original has a sealed case so water would only get in through the winder if anywhere.. but I don't know if that has a seal on it or not.

This is what I have. And my second hand does not line up with the minute marks, either. On the black one, anyway. I guess I'm about to find out about the green one, since I lost my black one sometime between last night and today.

Sorry, it won't let me post the picture.

It's "the odd triple" from season 3.

You get a good glimpse of it as he climbs out of the plane when it lands in France.

And later when he gets cought in the vineyard.

He also wears the calculator watch in the 'environment court' scene in The Negotiator.

I thought he looked ok actually.

Calculator watches are kewl too.

A calculator watch - that brings back some old memories, I always wished to have one in first classes on the primary school (cheating ). I don't think anyone wears a calculator watch now, many people don't even wear a watch...
I have my Casio Pro-Trek PRG-50T, it has a lot of functions but I found out that I don't need them or they are not accurate enough for real use. (better to carry a real compass, altimeter or a GPS, thermometer and so on..). Like the saying - jack of all trades but master of none. I am seriously considering to buy a simple watch like MacGyver had, maybe one of those newer types with tritium...

Calculator watches are cool- when used for good!
I knew a guy once who had one that he used to cheat on math tests!

Sounds like my brother. He had a calculator watch when he was in school.

I still have one.. along with several other kinds of watchs.

Does anyone have a screen capture of the black military watch Mac wore? I'm trying to see exactly which one it is. I have the vintage Timex military (2 actually) but would like to see the other military watch that is mentioned. I think someone said it appeared quite well in Human Factor. That maybe the first episode I'll watch (no pun intended) when I get the sereis on DVD.

Yeah, I'm a watch nut too.

Forgot to add, the Casio watch used in Countdown is model DW-1000. Pop up now and then on eBay.

Hi Kev,

I'm pretty sure I got a good look at the black watch in one of the episodes I watched recently from either season 1 or 2.

The problem is the black watch seems to be a stand in for the olive drab Timex military that he normally wears.

Theres even a scene in the Gauntlet where his watch changes from Timex military to a metal framed watch and back again as the angle of the scene changes (scene where he's standing by the bus waiting for the firecrackers to go off.. as he looks down at his watch it changes).

The black watch.. I think... is something like this (going from memory here)...

Cool, thanks! I tried my best tyo pause the opening credits to catch a glimpse but it's pretty tough to get a decent look. That Marathon looks about right from what I saw. I'll have to check out the Gauntlet to get a look.

Thanks!
Kev

cool

I just noticed this watch has a radiation emblem on it

That can't be a good thing?

Yeah, like Luminox uses. Supposedly not enough to matter but enough to make ya nervous.

Kev

Oh man... when you guys talk about watches it gets me all hot.

Yeah, like Luminox uses. Supposedly not enough to matter but enough to make ya nervous.

They used to use radium paint on the watch dials, but that stopped decades ago (although not before it killed a lot of factory workers).

(You're weird, Nymph, but we like you anyway.)

Yer funny!

I used to have the old Timex watch. It lasted 12 years, then I gave it away. Bummer, too. It was the best working watch... just ugly.

Well, of course I was just kidding. Mostly.

Mouthing off more like. MacGyver watches are "boy" watches and my days of wearing big bulky stuff like that are done. I'm girly know.

So I was .. um... projecting I guess.

The watches are so kewl but I can't wear them.

Stupid lucky boys! Wearing the kewl MacGyver watches! Peeing anywhere you want too!!

Never really thought about it quite like that...

Kev

Nymphy are you having an identity crisis today?


And big bulky jewelry and watches look great on girls.........I should know cause I make it and I wear it. All it takes is attitude to carry it. (Does runway strut around living room)


As far as peeing wherever you want................you're on you're own there girlfriend.

No. I don't think so. Wait a minute!

Well there you have it. I've lost my mo-jo.

There aren't enough leaves.

You'll just have to get yourself a MacGyver watch.........the mojo will follow.

My husband has a calculator watch that he uses daily. He's on his 5th or 6th one of this model. The last one had a problem with the number buttons: A macaw beaked the buttons off when he wasn't looking. I, too had a calculator watch, all through school. Funny, my teachers never noticed. I'm currently on my 5th or 6th different watch since my last calculator watch. I keep losing them. I recently had a black military-style watch, but I lost it. Then I found it again, and then I lost it again. My current timepiece is an OD military-style watch, with an OD band.

Also, while Googling, I found a watch forum. All they talk about is watches. Nymphy, need a link?
