Each model runs on a TFT LCD touchscreen and includes heart rate, step count, and calorie tracking. The Atari 2600 edition has a 2.02-inch screen and four built-in games: Centipede, Pong, Missile Command, and Super Breakout. The Space Invaders models (Red and Yellow) feature arcade-cabinet-inspired design and sound. The Tetris model includes only Tetris. The emoji model ships with two original titles, emoji MERGE! and ASK emoji, plus over 100 emoji watch faces. All models come with a magnetic charging cable and two wristbands; the emoji edition includes one classic yellow band and one random mystery band from four types. The watches intentionally lack Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and notification functions, and do not support Japanese language.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPACE INVADERS: My Play Watch (Red/Yellow)\u003c/strong\u003e: Includes Space Invaders; arcade-cabinet design and sound\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATARI 2600: My Play Watch\u003c/strong\u003e: Includes Centipede, Pong, Missile Command, Super Breakout\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTetris: My Play Watch\u003c/strong\u003e: Includes Tetris\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eemoji: My Play Watch\u003c/strong\u003e: Includes emoji MERGE! and ASK emoji; over 100 emoji watch faces\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"Zuiki's My Play Watch series, a line of offline-only retro gaming smartwatches, launches in Japan on October 29.
