Thanks Martin, It is of course technically possible to use dekatrons, but are there any that are small enough for use as a wrist watch? Also, to make it worth the effort, you need quite a stash of those tubes, I mean it doesn't really make sense to spend all this time designing it and then only have enough tubes for 10 watches :-).
Another possible problem could be the brightness of the tube cathodes. The dekatron only lights up only a small dot rather than a whole digit. I like the idea though!
