Ro Bot Time Machine - Dairy Queen model

Sometimes I find watches that look like others but are not by the normal manufacturers.

Today's watch is a transforming robot watch that looks like the GoBot watch i blogged in June. But this one was not made by Impulse Ltd, but by CMI Corporation and is called a Ro Bot.

The watch was a promotional item released for American company Dairy Queen. The first Dairy Queen store opened in 1940, and the company sells soft serve ice cream and other fast food. The Dairy Queen logo is shown on the robots chest.

Sweda watches seem to have made various different watches for different brands, and seem to have been the American based CMI Corporation watch sales brand. The brand does still seem to be going and is listed as clock retail.

As with the GoBot, the watch has a magnetic back, but connects to the strap with a 90 degree twist. It is a square robot where the legs fold around the outside covering the arms.

As with most of these robots, it uses a basic 4 digit LCD display with time, date, and seconds, and two buttons on the front.
