I've been a Pokemon (or Pokémon) fan for a while. I guess the 'Gotta catch 'em all' mantra appeals to the collecting genes that I must have inherited.
Today's watch is another of my Pokemon watch collection, and is a little unusual. It is a Japanese model released by Banpresto in 1998 and was probably from a UFO machine or other toy dispenser. From the box, you can tell it's a Japanese model as it has the Japanese names on it (but in English) - Lizardo, Lizardon, Kameil, and Kamex instead of Charmelion, Charizard, Wartortle, and Blastoise.
This model is a Mew version, and has a moulded Mew figure on the lower strap, as well as a pokeball sticking put of the top of the case. There were 5 different versions, with the Mew one seeming to glow in the dark.
The unusual bit is the the rest of the watch seems to be designed to look like a mini G-Shock (and is the spitting image of the DW-600 I blogged in October).
The watch itself is just a basic LCD model with 4 digit display, and time, date, and seconds display options.
