Not the 80s. The first radio controlled wristwatch came out in 1990 (Junghans Mega 1).
- anyfoo 2y agoSorry, I mistranslated “clock” (hence why I differentiated “wristwatch” in the sentence before). We owned a Funkuhr-Wecker in the 80s, so, an alarm clock synchronizing to DCF77, in the 80s. The wristwatches came a bit later, yeah (not that I’d have known without looking it up whether that was earlier or later than 1990).
