If you deem your new smartwatch the most futuristic piece of technology around, better you have a look at this strange thing dating back to the good old Eighties. It’s the UC-2000, a wristwatch wearable computer introduced in 1984 by well-known Japanese tech company & watchmaker Seiko. Never Used in perfect condition- SEIKO UC-2000 (1984) - the dawn of wearable computers The first Seiko wrist computer The basic object (the watch) was more a programmable calculator than a true PC, but things changed when it was coupled with the UC-2200 dock station. This was a quite unconventional device - provided with a small thermal printer, a keyboard, 4 KB of RAM, & a 26 KB ROM which included a Microsoft Basic programming software, a Japanese / English translator, & some games - through which the watch could be programmed & turned into a portable PC, albeit rather limited in its functions. The docking station could also be connected to a desktop computer to exchange data to & fro the “watch”. The Seiko UC-2000 was equipped with a 50×28 pixels monochrome LCD screen, admittedly not the best if you are passionate about high-res video games. When not docked, the wrist computer was controlled through four large (well, reasonably large) buttons, two of which were used to play the basic video games which ran on the device. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LastCenturyJewels Seiko Wrist Module Uc-2000/Seiko Information System Uc-2000 Series -1980’s Watch
