What I love is how in Japan, they build vending machines so well and take care of them so well, that you can find old 70's machines with Nixie Tubes as the timer display while it heats up your food. Really retro looking.
It is often said that if you take care of your things you have better things.
Doesn't "retro" mean to imitate something from the past? If it's the actual thing itself, would it still be "retro", or just "old"? :-)
@@MeMyselfAndEyez old but cool
only if they could take care of their employees as good as their products
then there wont be so many overworked people in Japan

In Metro: Last Light, I think Artyom has a nixie watch.
Clyde Marshall only on easy on harder difficulties it's an analog watch that you really have to pay attention to
That's only in the Redux version if you're playing Survival mode. If you play in Spartan mode then it's the Nixie Watch. Of course it is a little smaller than this one.
+Clyde Marshall yup
Honestly, I've always preferred analog watches. But the nixie watch just looks so dang cool.
+Clyde Marshall I didn't learn how to tell time until very late so I stuck to digital clocks and waterproof digital wrist watch calculators out of practicality.
I'm not a jewelry guy so I just don't see the appeal in a fancy analog watch
Watching this in 2021 - how your channel has evolved! It is now arguably one of the most interesting and informative tech channels out there. Long may it remain so!

The coolest watches in my opinion were still the digital ones that had a universal remote control function, where you could tune them in to a TV's IR. I still remember a very irate headmaster trying to weed out which one of 100+ 12-year olds kept changing the channel of the TV while watching some Channel 4 Learning crap during assembly.

i have a weird feeling techmoan is actually james may
nah, he's obviously that narrator guy from the British dub of How It's Made.
You think May could use a computer?
What makes you think he can't use a computer? Don't you know assuming things is a dumb thing to do.
M It is a joke mate. Why so serious? Are you perhaps the guy himself?
hes actually mason from black ops
To think this was Techmoan’s first video and it’s still genuinely enjoyable is odd.
wait this was his first video!?
I worked in the Nuclear I&C regimen, and to replace almost any system from the 70's or 80's is extremely difficult...any replacement system has to exactly match "Form, Fit, and Function"; something newer could be created that is more sensitive, but that would be an issue (how will the "downstream" components react?) So I had to replace nixie tubes in units...yes, there was an "upgraded" newer retrofit, but it would have cost millions to be able to use the retrofit. As a result, I had to find the NLA exact same tubes. Newer ones were unacceptable, as were the Soviet versions. Thank goodness I found a warehouse that was being liquidated and scored 38 brand new exact matches. Lord knows what will happen when those run out...
All I can think of is Steins;Gate.

I have a $300 dollar Davc&Co Nixie tube watch my girlfriend bought me for my birthday and I love it. I'm about to start ordering more tube clock products, I'm already in love with tubes through audio equipment, which is a whole different story about the warmth of tubes. It's kind of in the same vein as incandescent bulbs vs LED's. The warm glow of that old technology is more pleasing, more primal, closer to just looking at a fire.

Hey Techmoan, you can remove that distracting flicker by changing around your iso, aperture, and shutter speed.
Slow the shutter and raise the aperture. Preferably keep the iso as low as you can to stay away from grain.
the only important thing here is the shutter speed, or recorded frames per second. If it's recording at 30 frames per second, and the electric operates at 60 hertz, then every second frame, the camera will record it while the power is "off", resulting in flicker.
what iso probably does is, with higher sensibility, it swamps out the picture so that the flicker is not so noticable, but that doesn't fix the problem.
don't you know the three affect each other? If you change the shutter you must compensate with ISO and/or aperture. The camera will do it automatically if it's any good though.
Catalan Totanian if you're on an airplane and change time zones, how would you do it
You simply MUST wear that watch while playing Fallout.
I've lost count the number of times i've been looking through youtube and this nixie watch video is recomended to me, it's nuts!
I watched it 10 years ago.
"Did the worldline change before? Or was it always these numbers?"
;_;
All the people here talking about Stein's Gate or Call of Duty, but does anyone remember the nixie watch Artyom had in Metro: Last Light?
i want one so badly, too bad i wont get the artyom edition
@Panzer_Waffle That account has nothing to do with furries. It's main character from a webcomic based on TESIV: Oblivion. It' called prequel.
I want one so badly that im just going to make one myself

me too
Hello.

Captain...glow??
i want one like in metro last light :(
+MaceGaming53 I have a pile of the necessary B-4998 tubes. The problem is that these end-view tubes will result in a watch that is over an inch thick. So the case design is, shall we say, tricky.
nixiebunny1 yah
Could you not use led filaments for some designs?
kistuszek true i could...i might do that... but nixie tubes are cooler.
It's quite mesmerising to watch the digits fade in and out when switching..
0:18 I actually use that watch, cost me 25 bucks, wristband broke and had to spend in the realm of 10 bucks to fix but it's never given me any issues and is pretty damned handy.
Great video and watch. When I started out in my career in Electronics nixie tube, CRT's, and LED displays were the only methods of displaying information. Even today I still love nixie tubes for many applications. Thanks Techmoan!
Black ops made those creepy as hell for me
Mason what are the numbers
I can't recall Nixie Tubes and I'm age 54. I do remember seeing them in old movies and had a LCD calculator watch in the early 80s. My favorite clock radio had physical flipping numerals that were lit up by a blacklight, but the flipping motor eventually wore out. I'd like to see a video on these.

I was so sad to see that this was the only nixie watch, then i realised this was made in 2010, Surely someone must have my a better 0one in 6 years. Time to check and hope restored
I've reviewed two more since.
I didnt even know the name, Not sure if your one for playing games but in the original Metro: 2033, The protagonist has a lovely nixie watch and ever since iv'e been hooked, i think ill save my wallet from the grave and go for a nixie clock.

I'm in a state of shock! I can't believe that I watched this video 9 years ago!
When I was a kid in the early 80s, it really was a digital watch revolution. I had a watch that played "Dixieland" as an alarm, a watch that had an FM radio, and a watch that played a really simple Space Invaders. No nixie's though, they were all LCDs of course. Dude those were the days =) Today I don't even have a wristwatch, I use a "digital pocket watch" (my phone).
Wake the fuck up samurai, you got a watch to buy.
This would be useful in a metro if you know what I mean

Something similar called 4004 Nixie Clock is emulated in MAME however for the true experience you must download the matching artwork files and manually install it in MAME.
I absolutely love that watch. I've always loved watches, never really wore them around though. But if I could afford one of these I would wear it every day. But I don't know if I could ever make the excuse to buy a $500 watch lol
