Hewlett-Packard
The Hewlett-Packard HP-01 is a calculator watch. It was designed and manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.
The HP-01's digital display used 7 light-emitting diodes (LEDs)/digit in a 7-digit + decimal point arrangement. Introduced in 1977, at the height of the LED watch craze, it had five models: two gold-filled and three stainless.
Prices ranged from $450 & $550 for the low-end steel or gold to $850 (the equivalent of $2200 to $4200 in 2023 dollars).
HP also sold a battery replacement kit that allowed customers to change the batteries themselves. The watch uses two batteries for the display and one for the processor IC. It also comes with a ballpoint pen with a stylus on the rear end. Most of the 28 buttons on the HP-01 are recessed and designed to be depressed with a stylus stored in the band.
The production was stopped by the end of 1979.

"A Voice from Gazaโฆ A Cry for Help"
Hello, Iโm Saja from Gaza ๐ต๐ธ๐ Iโm writing to you today during one of the hardest moments of my lifeโฆ For months, weโve been living under the fire of war ๐ฃ. The bombing never stops, and death follows us everywhere ๐๏ธ. Destruction has become a daily scene in our lives ๐๏ธ.
But war is not our only enemyโฆ Prices have skyrocketed ๐ธ๐ฅ, and everything has become unaffordable. A loaf of bread ๐, a box of milk ๐ฅ, a bottle of water ๐ฐโฆ have all become distant dreams. Even the most basic needs are no longer within reach. We survive on so little, trying to hold on despite the pain ๐.
My home is no longer the same ๐ โ, our lives have changed, and safety has vanished. My children no longer know peaceful sleep or full meals ๐๏ธ๐ฝ๏ธ. Every day brings a new danger, and every night we pray just to survive one more day ๐.
This is a picture of my home after the bombingโฆ Our dreams turned to rubble. ๐งฑ๐
Today, I am asking you for a helping hand ๐ค, a message of support ๐ฃ, a kind word ๐ฌ, or any contribution, no matter how small ๐. Any support โ big or small โ makes a real difference in our lives ๐.
If youโre unable to donate, please help by sharing or reblogging this post ๐. My voice may not reach far, but with your help, it can reach those who can make a difference ๐โจ.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who reads and cares โค๏ธ. Your presence gives hope in a time where weโve lost almost everything ๐น.
A collection of things I am inspired by. Mostly objects, especially technology and tactical gear.
