'80s Flashback: Calculator watches

Time for another '80s Flashback. Today's memory is brought to you by:

Wet Banana, the '80s version of slip-and-slide that had the added bonus of a plastic banana that sprayed water -- and a name that makes people uncomfortable.

So if you were a kid in the '80s, what was the kind of watch you really wanted? A Swatch, perhaps? Or if you were a little on the geeky side (like me), you wanted a calculator watch. I can just imagine how mesmerized I would've been if I had seen the overdramatic commercial below.

It's right after these other recent flashbacks:

'80s Flashback: Teddy Ruxpin
'80s Flashback: McDLT
'80s Flashback: Boom boxes
'80s Flashback: The Original Party Animal
'80s Flashback: Ghostbusters cereal
'80s Flashback: Guess the show
Humor Me: Ferris Bueller
Humor Me: Total Eclipse of the Heart
Humor Me: Saturday Night Live's Love Toilet
Humor Me: Atari
