Seiko TV Watch is now 20 years Old

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nothing-else-going-on dept.

TheGreatOrangePeel writes "In 1982 the Seiko "Television Watch" became available to buy. Now, 20 years later, the watch has become a bit of a rare item to find. When it was available new, it contained the following: 1-1/4" LCD Screen on wristwatch, Shirt pocket receiver, Case, Earphones, Owner's Manual." Apparently the small wonder is still the smallest TV commercially produced.

    It was the giant dish you had to wear on your head that was a bother.

    Well fuck, I can't masturbate to erotic TV commercials if the TV is mounted on my friggen wrist... it keeps moving back and forth, back and forth...

    Masturbation requires concentration, which this device does not allow.

    Combining the cellphone and PDA? Wow, that would be an exciting new step. It's a shame that no one has thought of it or indeed done it already.
