ABSTRACT:
Wrist and ring mounted watches having a display face and an actuation mechanism to illuminate the display face. For a wrist watch, the display face is disposed on one side of the watch case adjacent the watch band with the actuation mechanism on the opposite side of the case whereby through moving the case against a sufficiently solid object, the display face is illuminated. Alternately, the wrist band may be expansible where it connects to the case and by twisting the wrist sufficiently to expand same, the mechanism is actuated which illuminates the display face. With a ring watch, the actuation mechanism is a nob on the side of the case or of the ring whereby it can be actuated by an adjacent finger.
