Move over iWatch, the real deal is finally here. Look at that equilateral triangle, Apple can't do that. #gamechanger

Really? Hmmm

Missed opportunity to bring back the PocketStation.

Truly the watch we've all been waiting for!

SICK BURN ON APPLE

Who wears watches

its 2015

I would find this more useful than the apple watch, but that's me personally.

Oh no it's ten past circle already? I've got an important meeting at circle fifteen!

If you had a watch, you'd know it wasn't 8:15pm at all.

Also, if you think about it, it's strange that they would use the shapes in those places as they were (IIRC) originally used to represent button numbers related to the number of lines in the shape. ie. Circle =1, X = 2, Triangle = 3 and Square = 4.

Mostly adults and people who want to know what time it is at a quick glance.

Watches are cool.

The genius thing is that it's just a watch. It's like a message to the industry making smartwatches, and consumers. What do you need and want in a watch, what do you think consumers need and want in a watch.

(Ordering mine later in May to wear with my suit & tie outfits.)

jerks who dont take out their phones whenever to check the time

I wear a watch.

I don't think it's some kind of message at all. It's just a cheap watch, being sold right alongside the Official PlayStation Coffee Mug and T-Shirt.

Alright. Think Ill wait for a Nintendo Game & Watch watch.

It looks like something you'd find in a cereal box.

Its ∆ o'clock

Now you'll always know when it's sick head shotz time.

A rubber wristband? No thanks, my arm hair is fine right where its at.

FORTY FIVE DOLLARS!?!

It looks like something you'd win with skee ball tickets.

@oldenglishc said:

Yeah, there isn't really a continuum of watches. It's pretty binary when it comes to watches:

• the watch looks like something that costs about $2 that you won at a carnival
• the watch looks like it cost $300+ and is a status symbol more than anything

Those are your two options, there is no middle ground. This PlayStation watch doesn't look luxurious enough for me to think it costs $300, so that puts it in the former category.

@bisonhero: I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the price. That is literally a two dollar watch.

Watches should have numbers on them.

Paramedics.

I'd buy it for $15 max.

It's not even OG PS1 grey.

kinda jackass wears a watch i mean really

Is that Vinny modeling?

I was expecting to see a picture of a man with a PS1 belted to his arm. I'am disappointed.

That looks kinda dumb, dumb enough that I would spend a few bucks on it, because sure.

Err, people who know how to read the dial without having to think about it like a chimp?

lol I came here ready to be all like WEARABLE ELECTRONICS ARE SO REDUNDANT AND IMPRACTICAL AND MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A HUGE DORK AND COST TOO MUCH MONEY. But then I realized it's just a lil cute cheap actual watch with hands and the time and such.

The party starts at Triangle and ends at Triangle.

A man with one watch knows the time.

A man with two is never quite sure.

It's about time.

I work at Starbucks and some dude went to pay with his watch and there was a second where I had no fucking idea what he was doing when he awkwardly was extending his fore arm towards me.

That would go perfect with Big Boss's leather jacket.

Then EVERYONE that saw you would know you liked video games. Unless they don't know much about video games, then they may just think you look a little silly.

I do. Who would want to take their phone out of their pocket in all the situations you're in during the day, some of which make it impossible, while you can just look at your wrist? I get that people like Jeff who are stuck in an office all day with their phone just there don't get any benefit. But watches are so much better for telling time than a phone overall. Not to mention, they look cool.

as a young Bart would say, BARF.
