Smartwatch that can play games: Atari spirit meets modern technology

Atari has officially announced the smartwatch Atari 2600 My Play Watch designed for nostalgia lovers. This watch combines the legendary Atari spirit with modern technology, appealing to both retro game enthusiasts and those seeking an extraordinary smartwatch experience.
CLASSIC GAMES ON YOUR WRIST The standout feature of the watch is its ability to bring Atari’s iconic games to your wrist. Legendary games from the 80s like Pong, Centipede, Missile Command, and Super Breakout are included in the device’s built-in gaming platform. The gaming experience offered by the watch with retro graphics and sound effects creates a captivating sense of nostalgia for users longing for the past.
THE MEETING OF RETRO AND MODERN DESIGN
Atari 2600 My Play Watch offers an elegant design with a 2.02-inch TFT touchscreen display and a metal body. The rotating dial and classic buttons complement the device’s retro design. However, the user-friendly touchscreen interface expected of a modern smartwatch supports this nostalgic design.
HEALTH AND DAILY USE FEATURES The watch not only allows for gaming but also includes some basic health and daily life features. Functions such as step tracking, calorie calculation, and heart rate monitoring make the device more comprehensive for users. However, by not offering Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, the device can operate independently and stay true to its retro-focused usage philosophy.
PRICE AND RELEASE DATE Atari has opened pre-orders for the 2600 My Play Watch at a price of $80. The official launch and release date for users is announced as June 10, 2025. With this new product, the company not only offers a technological device but also provides old-school game lovers with the opportunity to travel back in time.
