33 years ago, the predecessor of Apple's smart watch was auctioned and is expected to fetch a high price of $50000
2021-11-22
On November 22, wristmac, an older generation of Apple watch and a smart watch listed in 1988, is expected to bid between $25000 and $50000 at the auction. This watch has never been worn and still retains its original packaging. Wristmac is a smart watch made by Seiko, which can connect to the MAC using AppleTalk. This watch was first released in 1988. The most striking thing is that it is favored by the astronauts of the US space shuttle Atlantis. The New York Times reported at that time that in 1991, the Atlantis was installed with Apple's first laptop Macintosh portable for sending e-mail. But little is known that the astronauts each wear a wristmac, which has many similarities with the current apple watch. "When you need to take pictures of a specific celestial body on the earth or in the universe, wristmac will give an alarm and display a two-line personal affairs reminder," the New York Times wrote Now, comicconnect.com, an online auction house, is about to auction an original, unused, or even unpacked wristmac. The company is usually more used to auctioning pop culture souvenirs. From November 22 to December 18, 2021, the company will accept the bid of wristmac. Stephen fishler, CEO and co-founder of comicconnect, said: "this is an incredible discovery, which can be regarded as one of the earliest examples of wearable computing technology. Wristmac has rarely appeared since it came out more than 30 years ago, and it may take several years to meet another one." "Wristmac is very rare, it's difficult to predict what price it will be auctioned at, and we can't find any recent transaction records," he continued This special wristmac was sold for less than $50 at the closing auction of the MAC warehouse in Connecticut, and the buyer never even opened the original packaging. Bids on comicconnect start at $1. (Xinhua News Agency)
