1970's HP Smartwatch Prototype...

that looks like a calculator watch, not a "smart watch"

my first calculator had the exact same LED screen.

my friend had this watch in 1980. it actually played a 'game'



numbers would march from right to left and you would have to use the 'up and down' buttons to switch between 0-9 and hit 'enter' once for each number you wanted to eliminate.

you lost if they got all the way across the screen and it sped up rapidly.

i remember we had it going for like 45 minutes in school one day (no pause back then) and were trying to do math work and kept passing it back quickly under the desks if we had cleared all numbers since you had 3-4 seconds to get back on it.

Yes? That isn't close to what this watch accomplished

Seiko TV watch was pretty fricking badass. i wanted one so bad and it went from like $500 to $50 in like 6 months..but i still lacked the funds to buy

the remote control watches used to be the shite

Some kid in my elementary school class would frick with the teacher by turning the TV on and off.

i had one. they are particularly fun when stuck in airport lounges during layovers when different sporting events are running on the tvs

step 1: casually walk past tv to get model & brand
step 2: return to chair. covertly pull creased code list from wallet of remote codes to get correct one
step 3: program code into watch and the fun begins

Now alot of phones has universal remote apps and built in IR blasters. I'll have to remember that next time I'm in the airport.
