Apple released its first smart watch, the Apple Watch, in 2015 and has continued to dominate the smartwatch industry ever since. But one thing few people know today: The Apple Watch was not the first wearable associated with Apple. The wearable for Apple devices first appeared over 30 years ago.

This product was a wristwatch named ‘WristMac’ developed by Seiko. WristMac allowed you to communicate with the Mac by connecting to the Macintosh computer of that time. Of course, this product has not been very successful, as you can start from today because it is not known at all. But today the rarity of the product has made it a valuable device. So much so that an unopened package of the device is going up for sale at an auction this week, with bids estimated to go up to $50,000.

It was bought for $50:

The Seiko WristMac you see above will be available on ComicConnect with its original contents in its original box. The device was purchased for around $50 at discounts on the Connecticut Mac years ago and hasn’t been out of the package since. While it is not known exactly how much the device will be sold, offers are expected to go up to 50 thousand dollars.

These clocks even went into space:

Although the Seiko WristMac is an unknown device today, it was used in an extremely large task in the past. In 1991, the space shuttle Atlantis carried Macintosh computers with it. These computers were used to send e-mail from space. In addition, each of the astronauts on the mission had a WristMac. In the article written by The New York Times, it was stated that these watches are used for tasks such as sounding an alarm when it is time to take a picture of the Earth or the Universe.
