Abstract: A solid state watch includes two gravity switches, one closable when the arm is positioned such that the wrist extends substantially horizontally and the other simultaneously actuatable when the arm and/or wrist is twisted or rotated sidwardly while the wrist is maintained in its horizontal position, such that both switches one in sequence circuit with the other are subject to being concurrently thereby closed at a same period in time, during which the completed closed circuit of the circuitry to a solid state read-out assembly is activated thereby making possible the observing and reading of the time by the person reading the watch without any requirement of use of the other hand, the particular readout being dependent upon the duration of period of closing of the switch closing upon the twisting of the wrist and/or upon a predetermined number of sequential to and fro twists of the wrist.
