Smartwatches are still trying to find their place in the world. A good idea in theory, they haven't quite caught on like smartphones did a decade ago. But every once in a while, there's an amazing smartwatch innovation, such as this incredible wrist computer running Windows 98.
Although the phrase "wrist computer" is often synonymous with smartwatches—after all that is basically what an Apple Watch is—this Windows 98 smartwatch creation, made by Reddit user Lord_of_Bone, is much more computer than watch. For one, it's really big. The creator used a Raspberry Pi A+ and a capacitive screen . As you'd expect, actually using the Windows 98 wristputer is somewhat slow going, but it makes an excellent homage to other great sci-fi arm-attached gadgets.
I can see the resemblance.
If you have the talent for tinkering and some time to kill, Lord_of_Bone has posted instructions on how to make your own retro-future wrist computer.
