About Retro Watch
The gadget can function as a regular watch that can be conveniently worn on the wrist. However, it is equipped with two screens: one displays the date and time, while the other is a gaming screen with a diagonal size of over 1.5 inches, a resolution of 320*320 pixels, and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. This design strongly resembles the portable gaming console Game Boy SP.

This version of the smartwatch with gaming console functionality costs almost $160, and the first buyers will receive the device no earlier than the fall of the next year.
