Mario is making his way to posh luxury with the release of a limited-edition collaboration project. Nintendo and watchmaker Tag Heuer are releasing a smartwatch that features the one and only Super Mario. The "Tag Heuer Connected x Super Mario Limited Edition" smartwatch will rock Android's Wear OS, but will come outfitted with exclusive Mario faces and animations. Only 2.000 watches will be made, and they'll come at a price: $2,150. That money will net you the watch, the prestige of owning a piece of "gaming-themed fashion tech" and all those cutesy physical activity-monitoring Mario animations. It's planned to go on sale at select Tag Heuer locations later today, though all pre-sale reservations are already sold out.

And even if you don't care about Wear OS, just get a $20 Wyze band. It'll track your steps, heartbeat, sleep, and it works as an alarm clock. Plus you can talk to Alexa through it, and change the image on the homescreen

Bruh, who is this for?

Spoiled kids with rich parents. IDK.
Edit: Or more likely, collectors with fat stacks. Most of them are just going to sit unopened in their box as part of someone's collection.

This is limited, so the replicas will just be kept inside the box, for the buyers waiting to resell them later for more.

This is the only usage I see.

If they were more widespread with less of an asinine price, we could actually see someone wear it sometime.

But I can't feel that Nintendo is firing in all cylinders to make money. I wonder if they are in financial straits...

WTH?! Has Nintendo lost their minds?!?

You guys think that's bad, there's a $100,000 Space Jam: Legacy watch out there. One hundred thousand dollars. So yeah.
