Here is a watch made by CGE the guys who made the Vectrex, it is expensive but I have never seen or heard of it myself, is this thing rare?

I wish they had showed the game screen, or at least described what it plays.

I used to have one of these! When I go see my parents this week I will have to ask if they still have it. I had the 'Sports Time' one. They were just chintzy little LCD games but I was the coolest kid in the elementary school lunchroom for a week! They bought it used because I wasn't around in '81 -- I think they found it at a garage sale or something. It didn't have all the games on it, IIRC, just football or something....

Now that I think of it I might have had one of those Mattel knock-off ones they made. I can't remember.

Sucks I missed World of Atari, the first CGE. They sold a few different variations of those for like $25 apiece. Wish I'd gone just to get those. Now it's a pain in the arse to get them.
