This adorable watch is actually a disguised Game Boy Color. And indeed, it can play games.

      It's a watch you wear on your wrist, but at its core, it's a Game Boy Color.

      Modder LeggoMyFroggo has transformed a Game Boy Color into a wearable device, not just mimicking its appearance but creating a fully functional retro console you can wear.

      YouTuber LeggoMyFroggo successfully condensed a working Game Boy Color into a wristwatch-sized format, resulting in one of the more peculiar yet impressive retro projects in recent times.

      How did he fit a Game Boy Color into such a small watch?

      In a YouTube video, modder Chris Hackmann referred to the project as “Time Frog Color.” Instead of opting for an easier emulation approach, this build utilizes original Game Boy Color components, including the Sharp SM83 processor, along with its video memory and the capability to use physical cartridges.

      If that seems unbelievable, it truly is. The watch can run games with actual tiny cartridges, demonstrated by Hackmann playing Pokémon Gold seamlessly. He incorporated an RP2040 chip to manage the display signal translation, allowing the wearable console to act as a watch when turned off.

      What was the gaming experience like?

      Shrinking a late ’90s handheld console into a 38mm wristwatch is certainly an intriguing side project, but it does involve several compromises. The display measures only 1.12 inches, and controls are managed by small tactile buttons hidden beneath 3D-printed caps, which aren’t exactly optimal for gaming. The absence of sound and limited battery life also detracts from the overall experience.

      In short, it functions, but it’s not the ideal way to relive your childhood classics. The Time Frog Color exemplifies the advancements in retro hardware modding. It was never intended to replace the original Game Boy Color or to make gaming on a watch practical. Nevertheless, it’s always enjoyable to see enthusiasts finding creative ways to preserve and repurpose original components.

      Inllie’s bracelet is the most elegant fitness wearable I've come across, and it’s affordable.

      Inllie’s latest smart bracelet combines health tracking with an upscale wrist accessory design.

      Most fitness trackers resemble small gym equipment affixed to your wrist. In contrast, Inllie’s Luna Core Bracelet is designed more like a refined piece of jewelry rather than merely counting steps and monitoring sleep discreetly. It is released alongside the Sense Core Band, both wearables adopting a more sophisticated, accessory-inspired approach to fitness tracking.

      Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Glasses have been leaked, and the design fails to impress.

      In the smart glasses market, those that people wear daily are ones that don’t make them feel like they’re part of a science project.

      Samsung's rumored smart glasses are now confirmed. According to Android Headlines, the first images of the Galaxy Glasses have surfaced, and those looking for a futuristic design may be let down. The visuals reveal a rounded sunglasses-style look reminiscent of the Meta Ray-Bans that have been on the market for a few years. The “Samsung” branding appears on one of the temple arms, but aside from that, there’s little to differentiate their design.
