I have one, but it's rotting at home in a drawer.  I despised the thing after
a few months, as the "touch screen" relied on some transparent conductors
on the top surface of what passes for a crystal in these things.  After a
few months of normal wear 'n' tear, I had lost several buttons to scratches
that screwed up these connections.

Now I have one of the "Data Bank" types with the membrane (flat) key pad.
(I wasn't crazy about the original "separate buttons" style either, as it
was too easy to scrape off a button - yes, I guess I am hard on watches!)
I LOVE the current watch, although I am considering replacing it with one
of the newer models which allow more characters per entry.  3 years and
still going strong!
