1984 Wrist Computer
The Seiko UC-2000 wrist computer from 1984. Ah, memories. Funny how wrist computers never did seem to do very well. Still people lust after wrist PCs.
Each character was 5x7 pixels. There were 4 lines of text with 10 columns each.That makes the effective resolution 50x28.

my guess for the "failure" of wrist computers are the compromise in interface that have to be done.
now if we could have a pocketable system that didnt require us to type on small buttons and read a tiny screen, we are go.
but to do that we most likely have to tap into the nervous system of the body so that we can overlay a keyboard over any surface, or even dictate using thought, and see the result hover in front of us.

the transmission coil in the waych when changing battery therefore watch does not work.
Is there a way to replace the coil, or is there a specification for coil ie wire size, turns etc.
