Nintendo Game Watch Boy - Dr. Mario GBE-003 DM

I've been playing on my console today, so thought I'd share another Game Watch Boy.
This is the third of my watches that are designed to resemble a Nintendo Game Boy. It is a game watch officially licensed by Nintendo, and made by Mani. It isn't named a Game Boy Watch, but is a Game Watch Boy, and is described as a 'GameBoy LCD Wrist Gamewatch'. This is the Dr Mario game where you match the right pills with the viruses on the screen helped by Dr. Mario. Mani are based in Hong Kong and released a range of electronic toys and watches for Nintendo.
This watch is a later edition and released in 1995, compared to the 1992 release of the first editions. This edition is marked by the release of six new colours (-this one having a purple patterned strap and clear case).
The model number is GBE-003(DM), which is the same overall number as the other game watch versions, but with the DM game designation.
The watch is simple with time, date, and seconds, but has an alarm. The game has two modes of virus curing, which builds up through levels until you reach the fastest level 9. The two buttons on the side of the watch are for modes, with the three front ones (which look like 5 buttons) mainly for playing the game but also for time/alarm setting.
