However, each individual watch has its own unique selling point - and for the Flint (as its name rightfully suggests), it's the waterproof flint-rod that's integrated into the watch's body. Unscrew it when you want to start a fire, scrape on the rod using a pocket knife, and sparks immediately shoot off, igniting any form of tinder, creating a tiny fire that can then be harnessed to light a campfire, an old-fashioned torch, or an emergency signal in a time of distress.
