Classic Arcade Wristwatch does not consume any quarters

classic-arcade-watchEveryone deserves a fond childhood memory, and for many of us who grew up in the 1980s as well as the early 1990s, you would surely know of the experience of feeding a regular arcade cabinet quarter after quarter after quarter in an attempt to complete some of the classic arcade titles, including the likes of Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and in the later years, Street Fighter II. Well, here is one way to enjoy a blast from the past in a practical manner – with the $59.99 Classic Arcade Wristwatch.

The name of this particular device says it all – the Classic Arcade Wristwatch would feature a classic arcade cabinet right on your wrist, although it would have already undergone the rigors of a “shrinking ray”, or so it seems. There will be fire buttons that will light up the dial in red, while making the “pew” noise that we are all so familiar with, but other than that, everything else remains pretty much ornamental. It would be cool if they could really have squeezed in an actual, playable arcade title in there. The Classic Arcade Wristwatch has been fully decorated for a fictional game of Galactic Defense, and arrives in a stainless steel case, black leather band with white contrast stitching.
