Well if it's confessions time:
In my mid-teens I bought a watch from a mail-order add. The add suggested (but on later close examination, didn't actually promise) a combination digital and analogue display.
What arrived was an incredibly cheap digital display .. behind a PRINTED analogue face with the hands PAINTED ON! And the whole thing fell apart within a month anyway.
I paid about $12 for a valuable lesson about marketing and mail order crap. A good price, I think.
