Body heat powered watch

Hi,
I found today advert of this watch:
https://www.powerwatch.com/
Sniff, sniff... am I the only one smelling BS? 

According to this article:

Seiko build such a watch but the cell was providing only 22 uW of energy. I strongly doubt it is possible to power a device with a display and a wireless communication from such source.
What do you think? Looks like a subject for a debunking video.

Dave did a video on this, no it's hopeless, there is not enough temperature difference to make the power.

I can't think why they're bothering. A photovoltaic panel is going to be much thinner and more efficient.... and a watch has a dirty great window on the front.

There are solar powered wrist watches on the market... since decades.

They could have put a solar cell and say that the cell is just to add to "body power"   , and actually power the watch only by the solar cell and a battery. At least solar cell is proven to work and the product won't fail.
