This Apple Watch clone straps a retro gaming machine to your wrist


It’s time to save the galaxy.

Taito Corporation, which gave the world Space Invaders over 45 years ago, has collaborated with the designers of Floor 84 Studio to create a watch that pairs retro gaming with basic health tracking capabilities. Its design looks inspired by, or directly lifted from, the Apple Watch, but with a 1.86-inch touchscreen display and a body that’s not as thin as the Series 10 or as thick as the Ultra 2. The watch has different faces with pixelated fonts and graphics all themed around Space Invaders, authentic sounds sourced from the original arcade machine, and even health tracking features like a heart rate monitor, a step counter, and an estimation of calories burned throughout the day.
