Sony FDL-22  2.2" Watchman Color TV
Clunky but useful
This was given to me by my ex-wife when she made a trip to Tokyo many years ago. The fact that it still works flawlessly is a testament to its durability. It's a no-frills unit, heavy on your neck, but it works as advertised. The tuner is surprisingly robust and sensitive, managing to catch stations a tabletop TV would have trouble with. The screen, while passive matrix, is bright and sharp enough. The plastic screen doesn't scratch easily. The shape when held in the hand feels like a big, hefty gray-black ice cream cone.<br />The sound is loud enough for its size, often so loud it distorts at the 75% level. The addition of the headphone jack is welcome. I wish they thought of a place to keep an optional earphone thing on the unit itself, like a small compartment or a place where you can wrap the cord around.<br />Coulda been smaller, lighter, but for its time, it was the best they could come up with. Great for keeping in the glove compartment. The neck strap/antenna is a great idea, and makes this unit easy to port around.
