Timex Data Link Watch - Failure Museum

In 1994, Timex and Microsoft created this wristwatch computer as a wearable alternative to mainstream PDAs with additional attributes such as water resistance, that PDAs lacked, and easy programmability. It was the first watch capable of downloading information wirelessly from a computer. To download data to it, you held it in front of your CRT monitor while the monitor displayed a pattern of flashing black-and-white stripes. Depending on your point of view, it was either seriously cool or deeply disturbing.
