I recently bought an inventory of new Seiko Datagraph
UC-2001 watches.
They have 2K of memory, a 40 character (1400 pixels) display, and basic
notepad and calendar functions (the calendar is really just a notepad
which it orders for you). The watch connects via a wireless connection
to the interface box, which connects to the IIe via the joystick port. A
version for the IIc was also offered, and I think it's just a matter of
rewiring the cable.
Are these the watches that were sold in the late 80's and could interface
with the Mac? I think they used a hypercard stack to download data to the
watch, which I think was pretty much just plain text.
I don't remember what the watch was called, but I think it might have
been made by Seiko. I think they sold for about $100 new... I always
wanted one, but never had the spare cash :-(
