In Japan they sell the Waveceptor brand Casio watches. I got a nice simple titanium (case back and strap) with solar, LCD alarms and radio control for around $200. It even auto re-centers the hands if they are exposed to strong magnets. You can also get these on eBay and Amazon though 3rd sellers.

In Taiwan, Facebook seams like it's part of the Government and it seems that near all the small biz use it to communicate and advertize. Reminds me of the AOL days when people thought that was the Internet.

Many wall clocks and wrist watches (Casio WaveCeptors) plus cars set their times from radio.
