Supported in MS Schedule+ 7.0 included with Office 95.

Very magical to hold your watch up to the CRT monitor, see the monitor go black and flash a bunch of white lines for a few seconds and then look at your wrist to view the downloaded info.

But it was only letters and numbers so the routine got old fast.

Could be a bit finicky to get a successful transfer as well.

And transfer bandwidth was pretty low.
