A closer look
You didn't need an Apple logo to awkwardly glance at your wrist during a meeting in the 90s. The Seiko Ruputer (later marketed as the OnHand PC) launched in 1998, featuring a 16-bit processor, 128KB of RAM, and a tiny joystick below the screen to navigate menus. It synced with a PC via a clunky docking station and could receive basic pager messages and play terrible games. It was incredibly bulky, drained batteries in days, and practically guaranteed you would remain single, but it was ahead of its time.
