The retro-styled smartwatch is labeled by the California-based video game veteran as a “timepiece that blends nostalgia with cutting-edge technology.” We second that claim as this smartwatch can do everything from tracking heart rate and counting steps to calorie-burning data and of course, time telling. While these features are nothing new to a smartwatch, having them in the retro flavor of the 8-bit era refreshes the styling element for one’s daily grind. Having an Atari-themed watch, and not having the gaming element is out of the question. To gamer’s delight, the wristwatch comes with an assortment of four classic titles – Centipede, Missile Command, Pong, and Super Breakout. Simply choose one from the menu on the interface and relieve those cherished memories when gaming was the ultimate nirvana.Atari 2600 released in the late 1970s was a cult favorite, defining generations of gameplay hours at end, and most importantly helped establish the video game industry, paving the way for future consoles. It was one of the first home video game systems that allowed users to swap game cartridges, which was a revolutionary concept at the time. The graphics were cutting-edge for the time, with simple, blocky visuals and basic sound effects. The arcade gaming console played addictive games that to date inspire many of the neo-retro titles for mobile phones.
Our love for nostalgic gadgets got ignited with the Atari x Nubeo limited edition watches at the start of this year, and now there’s something that betters them for good measure. Atari has just dropped a smartwatch so cool, you’d want to buy it right away. This is the Atari 2600 My Play Smartwatch designed for geeks who like to keep track of their health metrics while having a late-night session of nostalgic arcade gaming right on the wris
