Someone else might have posted this, but I didn't see it and it's very interesting.

that's amazing - the first time I saw a gesture-controlled device was 1998 - my Palm Pilot PDA.
Every day's a schoolday - great post !!!

Amazing for 1984! I also liked how seconds hand aligns with indexes.

I am not sure what I found most impressive, the fact that it was a touchscreen/gesture controlled calculator watch from 1984 or the fact that the seconds hand aligned with the markers. I thoroughly enjoyed that gem of a youtube clip.
That's one of my videos, and it seems to have gone viral today.
Wow!!
Would love to see a reissue of that beauty. The modern AQ230 just doesn’t cut it without that calculator function.

That is frickin' cool!
That's nifty. Many of the Casio/Seiko watches from that era were just bonkers, in a technical way :-)
How? What? That’s amazing. I had a look at other things invented in 1984 and it includes CD-ROMs and Tetris. That’s how long ago 1984 was.
Astonishing! Did the technology vanish into some sort of time warp until Silicon Valley companies invented smart phones & tablets???
Love stuff like this, stops you in your tracks and makes you think about how much things really change.
