    I just received my TI Chronos watch...finally, I have a nice digital watch made by an American company. God bless the USA. Only one issue...it has "made in china" printed on it...WTF? I never would have bought it if I had known that it was made by slaves.

    KB you know damn well that most electronic gadgets that are designed in the USA are assembled in ROC where low wages and long working hours is the norm.
    Buy a Rolex made in Geneva, Switzerland...

    Last item I have purchased that was designed and assembled in America was a McIntosh amplifier.

    FYI


    ROC = Republic of China = Taiwan

    PRC = Peoples Republic of China = Communist China
