You should look into Eurobarometer data, at least the last ten
years:
http://www.gesis.org/en/services/data/survey-data/eurobarometer-data-service/

For a more long-term look : did you see look into 
Brian
  Mitchell
International Historical Statistics: Europe, 1750-2005
Palgrave Macmillan, December 2007
ISBN: 978-0-230-00514-3, ISBN10: 0-230-00514-4, 
6 1/8 x 9 1/4 inches, 1116 pages
?

There is a chapter on transport  communications.

You will find this and other, older volumes and for other
continents, in all better university libraries.

However, the spatial and temporal variation of wristwatch adoption -
I think this will be more of a challenge. 

Good luck,
F. Thomas

Hello,

Regarding Latin America, OSILAC is doing a great job gathering comparable
data at individual and at a household level.
You should go to the section Statistics and and ICT indicators:

 Hello,

 I am looking for a reliable source for compared adoption rates for mobile
 phones and other technologies or media such as the landline phone, radio,
 television, wristwatch...
 I don't seem to be finding anything reliable or useful.
 Does anyone have a reference I could use.

... and also various industry organisations such as the GSM Association, Mobile 
Data Association and
http://www.gsacom.com/gsm_3g/market_update.php4 but they provide mostly mobile

Also, Audiencescapes (http://audiencescapes.org/) has amazing data, although
only in a few locations.

See for example, stats from Zambia that blow me away:
