In college, some friends bought (they were less imaginative than you) the equivalent, powered by a 2032 cell, and hid it in my room as a prank.

Good times. I bet it’s still magnetically attached to the inside of the steel riser column of one of their desk chairs, though the battery is likely long dead.
