A British startup, Apollo Instruments, has created a wristwatch that replicates the Apollo Guidance Computer, known as the DSKY Moonwatch. This watch features the same interface as the original computer used in the Apollo missions, now compacted to a wearable size. The DSKY Moonwatch includes a built-in GPS, digital display, and a programmable keyboard. It operates on an open-source framework, allowing users to add features and control various devices through its digital I/O port. Priced at £649 (about $812), the watch is available for pre-order with a £240 ($300) deposit. Shipping is expected to begin in early 2025.
