Slightly less capable I think but HP-01 was a wrist calculator (with data flow oriented operators) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hp-01+watch&atb=v119-3__&ia=web

I wear my HP-01 every day, except when working out and wearing a Fitbit. It has a few minor electrical problems but is going strong almost 40 years later. I am returning from Tokyo and visited many watch shops but there was a decided lack of new watch features this trip. I already have a Seiko e-ink watch with radio frequency setting, a Seiko Astron with GPS setting and also self charging, a Citizen also with self charging and RF setting, various smart watches like the Fossil Q, etc., but my go to since acquiring it is this HP-01. If it had “raise wrist to enable LED display” it would be even better. I would love this form factor with modern innards.
A fantastic video about this amazing device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGQrsSEaZkI
