It's actually quite a nice watch. It's the cheap digital one, not the
spiffy limited-edition analog watch another company makes for P'mount
(which I also have). The digital watch keeps quite good time, has five
alarms, and is waterproof, though it's rather prone to wear, scratches, and
having its buttons pressed accidentally.
Let's see. It says "tlhIngan" on the top, and "tlhaq" on the bottom. Also
says "KLINGON(tm)" on the face, and has a small trefoil. The buttons are
labeled "wIv", "cher", "chu'/mev", and "lIs" [sic]. Some of the mode
anunciators on the face are labeled "ghum" (for the alarm), "cha'" (for the
second time zone), "togh poH" (stopwatch), "tlhaq" (count-down timer), and
"po" and "pov" for am and pm. Not sure if these are really ideal words,
but it does look like someone put a fair amount of effort into getting them
close to right.
