"After releasing Space Invaders and Atari 2600 versions of its gaming-themed semi-smart wearable, My Play Watch is back with a third version that puts on your wrist. The Tetris: My Play Watch is now available for preorder from the company's online store for $79.99, and is expected to ship sometime in October 2025 with an alternate interchangeable band."
"Developed in collaboration with The Tetris Company, the Tetris: My Play Watch looks like an Apple Watch with its square design and rounded corners, functional crown dial, and 1.91-inch color touchscreen. But without connectivity to a smartphone, it's really only a smartwatch in that it offers more than basic time and calendar functionality. You can think of it more as a wearable console that plays Tetris (including marathon and puzzle modes) that also happens to display the time using a series of customizable Tetris-themed watch faces."
"The crown dial on other My Play Watch models can be used to play games like Space Invaders and Breakout, but it's only used to navigate the watch's UI on this version. Tetris can be played through by swiping to move pieces while taps rotate them - similar to how the smartphone versions of the game are played. That could prove challenging on a small screen for those chasing high scores."
The Tetris: My Play Watch is a square, Apple Watch-like wearable developed with The Tetris Company, featuring a 1.91-inch color touchscreen and a functional crown dial. It operates without smartphone connectivity and functions primarily as a wearable gaming console that plays Tetris in marathon and puzzle modes while also displaying time via customizable Tetris-themed watch faces. The crown is limited to UI navigation; gameplay uses swipes to move pieces and taps to rotate them. The device retails for $79.99, is available for preorder with an alternate interchangeable band, and is expected to ship in October 2025. Small-screen controls may challenge high-score seekers.
