    Today $300 or less can buy a watch that runs UNIX, can emulate any machine in 1981 in realtime, and stream data from the ARPAInternet over a wireless connection orders of magnitude faster than any leased line.

      Sounds like a €30 smartwatch I’ve seen some 7 years ago. Yep, it costed that back then. It ran Android 4.4 and even the battery was user replaceable.
      I think it was called QW09.

      Unfortunately, I was 10 at the time, and €30 sounded like a lot to me, so I didn’t buy it :(

      Edit: Found some pics

          i don’t care that watches used to be round because of a rotary mechanism. i want a SCREEN on my wrist and screens are square for a reason!
