Japanese online vendor Red Mercury, in their pre-order pages for the Chrono Label Transformers Auto Ceptor and Time Limit, have posted a description of some of the functions of the watches. According to the solicitation, the user presses a button to display the time. Depending on the situation, the watch can then display nine different types of emotion on the LED screen. For example, not pressing the button in over 18 hours will show an angry face, pushing the button at night will give a sleepy face, and pressing the button at a time with repetitive digits (for example, 11:11) will give a happy face. When in robot mode, the watches will display an insignia on the screen. Auto Ceptor is an Autobot, while Time Limit is a Decepticon. The Chrono Label figures are due out in August.

Hell, if they reissued a classic plastic Kronoform watch, I'd be all over that for like $40. This $250+ thing is truly insanity given form.

Nothing as far as what it's made of but we have a better look at it.

a) Who over the age of 8 is likely to wear a transforming digital watch?
b) Can anyone aged 8 or younger afford it?
Failwatch.
nerdimus prime
repeated or not I still think it's a typo. anyone know what this thing is even made of? It must be made of silver, like masterpiece grimlocks 24k gold plated chest(lol) This would explain the price if its real.
Enigma2K2
Three hundred dollars for this?!?!?!?!?
Sidecutter
Frankly, I tend to agree. I simply don't understand Takara's reasoning with the price of this thing. I pretty much knew it wouldn't sell as soon as they solicited me the item, so I may not even bother unless someone actively requests it.

AAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!! Thats ridicoulos!!!!!!(sp)

If so, it's a typo that's been repeated. First about $280 as BigBadToyStore, and over 31000 yen at a Japanese show display and online store, which is over $340 US (according to Google)

You guys sure there wasn't a typo that added a zero? I mean, how in the world can it cost that much?

Epic FAIL. Pass. Ick. Crazy amounts of money wasted.
Feralstorm
Be real dude. It's at least $500 for that.

… and came back with Supermodels eager to date me, as well as a dozen other modes, and provided me with wingless flight mode and force fields.

Based on the pixel-face, I could see this watch costing $300 or more if it burst forth from the watch band, beat the living crap out of a criminal, then picks him up and flies off to Superjail.

For the first time ever, I think I'm actually expecting some cheap KO of Time Limit and Auto Ceptor, similar to how the Sports Label shoes were KOed.
QFT.
And for the price of one of the Chrono Label bots, you can get all the original molds from Music Label, and still keep some change.

"Hey! Look at the time! I'm late for the third job I had to take to afford this overpriced Transformer watch!"
T-Logicon
I would put $50 on it including s/h. and the box better be awesome. I have some of the orig kronoforms and they are very cool. This –not so much
dark69
would be cool if it was not so much

Well, now we know what the watches do.
They do something really good! They make it extremely EASY not to spend $300 on these things.
