Andrew Morton dives into the story of this enduring cult classic of both fashion and technology - the digital wristwatch.
Today, wrist watches are part practical, part fashion and part wearable tech. This was just as true at the beginning of the 1970s, with the invention of the digital watch. Initially they were incredibly expensive, first seen on the wrists of James Bond and Elton John. But the technology soon became more affordable, and they became a cool must-have gadget.

Over the coming decades, they evolved from the early red LED displays to today's smart watches and fitness trackers. Along the way there were games watches, radios and calculators – even a TV on your wrist. The book explores the history of this important cultural device.

Andrew Morten has had a lifelong interest in computers after teaching himself how to program at the age of 15. This led to a career in electronics and software design, and he worked on a number of projects, both in the commercial and defence sectors, at several large engineering companies such as Plessey, Racal and GE.
