TNW:
While we write a fair amount about smartwatches and the future on The Next Web, we also have a fairly healthy dose of nostalgia for anything Mario-related, like this limited edition timepiece from watchmaker Romain Jerome.
Yes, I was a child of the eighties. Yes, I loved Mario. But no, I’m not sure I’d cough up just under $19,000 for the privilege of owning the Super Mario Bros. watch, even though 85 will only ever be made.
According to A Blog to Watch, the timepiece’s release has been designed to coincide with the 30 year anniversary of the hapless plumber and his sidekick and is the third video game-inspired creation from Romain Jerome, following Pac-Man and Space Invaders models.
For your $19,000 you get a 3D pixel-style Super Mario, mushroom, cloud and bush, none of which move in any way, before you get too excited.
Wear OS 3 technically isn’t done rolling out yet, but YOLO.
CCG writes- "If you’re looking for a watch to get without spending too much money, get this one. It costs $27.99, and has plenty of features. You’re almost guaranteed to appreciate a lot of the things it can do, and it’ll last you a while as well. I’ve used almost all of the features that it has, and love all of them. Chances are, you will too!"
CCG writes - "All in all, this is an excellent watch for the money. It has many great features and the reminders to move and drink water regularly help me to live a healthier lifestyle. I have few years to go before I need to enable the medicine reminders!"
