SEGA Saturn and PlayStation 1 watches coming out in February
From Takara Tomy Arts.
In February, SEGA Saturn and PlayStation 1 watches by Takara Tomy Arts will be available at local Gashapon machines.
Being one of the most famous console wars ever, it’s a surprise to see these iconic systems miniaturized for daily wear. To sweeten the deal, this series of watches pays homage to the two versions of both the PlayStation 1 (PS and PSOne) and SEGA Saturn (Model 1 and 2).
Popping open the disk hatch also reveals classic video game discs. The games are Everybody’s Golf, Arc the Lad, Virtua Fighter 2, and Sakura Wars 2. Each watch fashions a matching strap with their respective PlayStation 1 or SEGA Saturn logos.
Niceee, so where can I get a watch?
Unfortunately, these watches aren’t something you fish out of Amazon. Based in Japan, Gachapon toys are usually within vending machine-dispensed capsules, which are extremely popular in Japan. With ¥400 ($3.50), you can win one of the versions for your wrist. Or maybe have it as a collectible for your gaming shelf.
If the location of getting the watches is a bummer, remember that some vocal shouts here and there on social media could turn attention onto the West. However, it might be a hard push given the small scope of the project.
