Casio CMD-40 TV Remote Control Calculator Watch
Before genuinely smart watches became a thing, digital wearable makers like Timex and Casio worked effortlessly to cram as much functionality into their timepieces as possible. Some features were more practical than others, but the Casio CMD-40 does something even the Apple Watch can’t—control an old-school TV. We’re not talking a streaming box or a video playing on a tablet, but a giant honkin’ CRT heavy enough to crush a Buick. So if you’ve got a family member begging for a smartwatch this holiday, it’s hard to think of a smarter investment than this $29 wearable that ensures you’ll never have to get up to change the channel or adjust the volume when watching TV in your parents’ basement.
