The IBM WatchPad was a line of earlier smartwatch prototypes, produced in 2000-2002.[1][2][3][4][5]

Overview

In June 2000, IBM displayed a prototype for a wristwatch that ran Linux. The original version had only 6 hours of battery life, which was later extended to 12.[6] It featured 8 MB of RAM and ran Linux 2.2.[7] The device was later upgraded with an accelerometer, vibrating mechanism, and fingerprint sensor. IBM began to collaborate with Citizen Watch Co. to create the "WatchPad". The WatchPad 1.5 features a 320 × 240 QVGA monochrome touch sensitive display and runs Linux 2.4.[8][9] It also features calendar software, Bluetooth, 8 MB of RAM and 16 MB of flash memory.[10][11] Citizen was hoping to market the watch to students and businessmen, with a retail price of around $399.[11]
