Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Tech Innovation Meets Fashion: The 1994 Timex & Microsoft Data Link Watch is where old-school wristwatch charm met cutting-edge tech, making it one of the first wearable smart devices. With its bold design and oversized display, it was the epitome of early ‘90s digital style.
- Digital Workhorse: Designed to sync with Microsoft software, this watch let you upload schedules, contacts, and notes directly from your computer via an optical sensor—no wires required, just some futuristic vibes straight out of a sci-fi movie.
- Durability and Utility: Water-resistant to 100 meters and built like a tank, it was as ready for a pool dive as it was for a corporate meeting. The leather strap adds a touch of sophistication to its unapologetically geeky functionality.
