Summary

  • Video game company Atari has launched a new smartwatch, targeting customers looking for a device focused on entertainment rather than functionality.
  • The Atari 2600 My Play Watch allows users to play retro games such as Centipede and Missile Command via the touchscreen, or the watch’s crown dial for paddle control.
  • It features a 2.02-inch touchscreen, beefier metal case and comes with three swappable bands with retro graphics designs.
  • However, the watch does not have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, meaning users cannot download apps or new games.
  • The device is currently available for preorder, priced at $79.99, and is expected to start shipping on June 10, 2025.
