The timepiece is a miniaturized version of the iconic console from 1995 and features all the essential details to make it look like a shrunken version of the entertainment product. The disc tray section of the unit is accented by a digital clock face for keeping track of time in a decidedly retro and slightly geeky way.

The PlayStation Loading Times Watch is available now for preorder and is positioned for a formal release in August 2019. The accessory speaks to the continued interest in nostalgic gaming products as consumers seek to live out their favorite childhood memories in a mature manner.
