Are you sure? Wikipedia says:
In the spring of 1972, the first Pulsar watch was marketed by The
Hamilton Watch Co. [...] With an 18-karat gold case, the world's
first all-electronic digital watch was also the first to use a
digital display — created with LEDs.

Electronic calculators appeared in the '60s but *pocket* calculators
were a product of the '70s.
