I'm surprised Win95 could handle the (very) odd resolution, even smaller than desktops would have at the time, or is it standard VGA downscaled?


I had the same question, looked up the resolution, it's 312x390, about half VGA. Guess that's why it looked pretty sharp still.

By the way "Optional: hot glue a motor to the watch’s crown to keep it from falling asleep." - that made my day!


Given that it runs in an emulator, it could be that Win95 sees a higher resolution and the emulator scales it to fit it's screen size.


I used to run Windows 95 with an EGA card (640x350), that's all I had.

Edit: it looks like even Windows 98 can use EGA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZljVxwIzTM
