 NOTE to list-  re SOS HP PROCESSOR  IN A PAPERWEIGHT!
We have one on an HP rectangular paperweight with blue internal background and ID data however... not sure if from Amigo or series 3x.It is clearly an HP  produced pr piece.Got it from a fellow along with the lesser HP01 watch.  We have 2 HP01  one is rough and I used to wearbit for everyday...  and the other my PC sales rep had  as he used to rep the watches to jewelry  stores.
Some day may trade off the lesser of the 2 watches.
One unique  thing aside from the 4 functions it also had a time... distance...  rate function.
I am not  in front of SOS chip but will see if I have pic on the cloud file stash

site.  I want to say building 43, but it could have been 40/41/42 ... I
walked through it a few times.

The HP 3000/30 and /33 used SOS (as did the HP 300 ("Amigo")).
