That's an interesting idea...but probably not necessary, judging by how long a CR2 battery lasts in the current design watch. I did have an interesting experience with my prototype watch yesterday...helping the local high school robotics team building the robot, I had the watch near the drive motors, which are big DC permanent magnet type. I noticed my watch going thru the setting thing. I guess the reed switches in it are a bit too sensitive! Production watches use buttons, which is a good thing for hostile environments like working on robots.
