This is the Seiko UC-2000 shown with the Seiko UC-2200 terminal
The UC-2000 is a watch, it shows the time, lives on your wrist
But most importantly, it could be combined with the UC-2200 terminal to make a reasonably well featured personal computer
The watch face served as the screen of the whole system which also had a spool-fed printer, 4K of RAM and 26K of ROM on a removable cartridge
You could make your own applications for it in BASIC
The fifth annual Gender Census is now open until 1st March 2018!

It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's pretty short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business, and self-advocacy.
