I have a friend that is into watches and he told me years ago about a watch that runs off BODY HEAT.

Thinking he is "yanking my chain" I forgot about it, while talking to him today he mentioned it again and I decided to look it up for myself
and here it is.

I think citizen had something similar in their eco drive. It use thermal coupling to generate electricity via temp difference between two side of watch, sorta like those wood stove eco-fans.

This watch is obviously not made for the Zombie who generates no body heat

Interesting concept!

Definitely not for the undead or for anyone in extremely hot temperatures, but quite brilliant really!

I think Japanese watches are excellent value for money and they're constantly dreaming up clever ways of powering them too
