Space Invaders watch does not have playable game, still manages to be awesome photo

After years of keeping it all inside my head, I have finally started to express my inner gamer through fashion. And this licensed Space Invaders watch would be an excellent way to do that. It manages to be attractive in the sense that I'm an adult and it looks like a vibrant LED display. And then the demo-like animation of invading... umm... invaders would scroll across and reveal what an utter dork I truly am.

There's no actual game built-in, which is a bit disappointing, but I still think it looks really cool. It runs a little over $200, which is more than I could personally justify for what would be a fashion accessory, but I'm sure it will sell out.

I dunno... I get the nasty feeling everybody you'd show the thing off to would ask if it did play. Could prove to be quite the stride-breaker over time.

Yeah this watch is a $200 disappointment. Kind of a cheap looking unstylish watch but if it played Space Invaders at least it'd be neat.

God. Being a gamer is so effing trendy right now. I kind of miss the days when we were outcasts. But then again, if that were the case, we wouldn't ever see things like this.... Stupid double edged sword.
That being said. 200 seems like a bit much, since there are probably modders somewhere online that could make a playable version for lesser or equal value.

I'll buy five!... well, not five. I don't have $1,000. But one will suffice.
