This is was my grandmother's wristwatch she got for her 30th birthday. It was built in 1959, and only has hour and minute complications. The fact that we could build machines this small before computers were invented seriously impresses me.

That's pretty cool.

Meanwhile, people these days seem to like wearing hockey pucks on their wrists. So many people complaining about how small the Pixel Watch is...
