Seiko WristMac Apple Watch
Long before the Apple Watch, there was the Seiko WristMac, and it could be considered the precursor to the smartwatches of today. Why? It was released in 1988 by Seiko / Ex Machina and worked with the Macintosh computer. This programmable wristwatch can be used to store phone numbers, set alarms and even take exportable notes.

When the astronauts aboard the Atlantis Space Shuttle sent the first email from space on August 28, 1991, they wore WristMac watches to coordinate with the Macintosh Portable and Apple Link software aboard the shuttle. Apple products have long been seen as the forefront of technology, making them a natural choice for NASA missions, like the use of the then-futuristic iPods aboard NASA ships in the 2000s,” said the seller.
