Seiko Advert - October 1985

Not actually an advert for a computer, per se, but an interesting reflection of what was all the rage at the time: multi-function "James Bond"-style watches.

The Seiko RC1000 is shown connecting to a BBC Model B over a serial RS232 link. It had 80 pages of 24 characters - about 1.8Kb - and could do text, alerts and basic calendaring which could, apparently, revolutionise lives.

It retailed for £100 - about £380 in 2024 money.
