Seiko TV Watch is now 20 years Old

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.

You've got me on the watches being replaced by cell phones. I'll buy that one. But I won't buy the watch-sized cell phone. Unless the phone is somehow implanted, anything smaller than an existing phone isn't going to be convenient for people to talk into or dial out of.

I would believe half of the cell phone on the wrist and the other half of the cell phone in a headset. But I think the next step is to combine the cell phone and the PDA.
