The watch I'm wearing today is one I first thought was an unofficial homage to the Game Boy, but after checking about a bit, I now think it's official!
The watch is by Mani, and was released in 1992. The design is meant to resemble the original Nintendo Game Boy. On the back it states that the trademark and copyright is held by Nintendo. The strap also states the name watch boy.
The watch is a basic LCD showing time and a day marker along the top. The right action button (A) shows the date, and the left action button (B) shows the alarm time. Pressing both A and B together switches the alarm on and off. The direction pad switches the watch into setting mode.
Mani released several watches in this series (all looking like the Game Boy), with the others I've seen being game watches (eg. Super Mario Race (which can be found here), Dr. Mario). This watch is thought to be rare (according the the Game Watch Guys).
The model number is GBE-002 (all Mani items have the GBE code, including a calculator and walkie talkies)
