The Casio calculator watches, maybe?

I think the earliest calculator watch was in the late 70’s or more likely the early 80s. Apollo was 10 years before that.

I'm still amazed that those astronauts could fit in those little capsules. 

 

...Not thier entire bodies mind you, just the large shiny brass balls they were toting with them. Courage? I think it takes courage to go to the store when my wife needs feminine articles. Those early astronauts were on an entirely different plane of existence.

I got my first one in 1979 or 1980.

 

Got it for Christmas.  When I went back to work after the holidays, all of the engineers were showing off the cool bits of technology they had received.  That Casio 'won' the new calculater catagory.
