Atari 2600 My Play Watch Adds a Touch of Retro Gaming to the Smartwatch

Let’s face it, most smartwatches are designed to be minimalist, yet functional, but without much character. The Atari 2600 My Play Watch aims to change that by adding a touch of retro gaming.

Not just any smartwatch, the My Play Watch’s crown and button have been customized to feel like classic controller buttons, complete with a rotating crown that functions like a paddle controller. It features a 2.02″ TFT touchscreen, a durable, metal bezel face with two interchangeable bands, and IP68 water/dust resistance. Plus, you’ll be able to play four classic Atari 2600 games: Pong, Super Breakout, Missile Command, as well as Centipede variants. The My Play Watch is priced at $79.99 and can be pre-ordered now, with shipments beginning on June 10th.

Your My Play Watch will never update and therefore never become obsolete. Keep your fitness goals on track with the Fitness Arcade interface inspired by the 2600. The built-in fitness tracker monitors heart rate, steps, and calories burned throughout your day,” said Atari.
