I'd be a lot more interested in smartwatches if they were like this, the Seiko UC-2000

It was released in 1984 and was a digital watch with memo function that could be put in a dock to turn it into a reasonably well-featured microcomputer

Imagine being able to wear your PC on your wrist and just plop it into a dock when you wanted more functionality, that'd be cool

@troubleMoney That's a tiny screen though!

I have to wonder just how much processing power is on the watch itself, and how much this is just "you can use your watch as a screen for this screenless computer"

@Felthry 4-bit CPU, 2K of RAM, and 7.5K of ROM on-board, putting it in the dock added a Z80 CPU, 4K of RAM, and 26K of ROM
