> a complete orrery in a classic F91W “Terrorist” watch

It took me a bit of searching, but sure enough:

Seems very tedious to actually use, but very cool to have it in the unassuming wristwatch.

The astronomy face is superior as it calculates the altitude and azimuth of the selected object based on your programmed location and, of course, the current time:

What would be even better would be to acknowledge that altitude is somewhat moot when all these objects are in the ecliptic plane — unsurprisingly Jupiter at Jovian noon is roughly where The Sun was at lunchtime! — and instead cycle through the azimuths of each object in the sky, in the order in which they are visible.
