    I’ve been hearing that quote about watches being more powerful since I was a child in the 80s. And I think it refers to processing speed - or even moreso, calculations per energy. Sure the watches may not have as much RAM/ROM, but they work fast enough to fully update every second, and do so using little enough power to last years on a coin cell.
