What could be more geeky than a red LED Texas Instruments $9.95 watch from the 1970's?

Hmmm. I wonder if there'd be a market in recreating that style of push-button LED watch.

Nah.

/me thinks about how much volume it would take to make it worthwhile selling at a $100 price point.

Casio still makes the "casio classic" which is exactly what you're thinking about and is still a pretty popular watch.
