Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Took a chance and picked up a case of these watches, only had a chance to really handle one at this point so I will update with additional photos as I get a chance. 12 watches to a case.. Front and side artwork of the boxes.. I figured this might be a blind box item, but I was pleasantly surprised that they show you what version your getting before you open the box. With 6 versions in this set in total, with an additional 2 more that I think were exclusives to certain retailers. I opened one of the stainless Fokker 1S watches..

Shawn Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Are these Robotech branded or ?? I don't see a BW sticker or any manufacturer name. How do you know which watch is in each box? Is it like the old Pencil Sharpeners, where you never know what you get? I think they look pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Manufacturer is Infantry, did abit of googling and they make a wide variety of watches, with some fairly expensive ones. Quartz movement, which is fairly obvious at this price point, Chronometer, Date and 30 Meter Water resistant. Overall for the price point, I think these are very nice, paid much more for other non themed watches and got lesser product. My only real gripe is the band, which are nylon and IMO almost appear as an afterthought. Easily enough fixed by replacement aftermarket bands. I do have a few Banpresto stainless watches from back in the early 2000s, these appear to be of much higher quality overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look pretty cool Several stores were selling these at one point, Crunchyroll, Kidslogic... etc. My boxes don't have any specific branding on them looks like it might be an HG thing when I looked on Kids logic website. You can see what watch your getting as its printed on the outside of the box. Also worth noting is these are the Version 1s there is a Version 2 series which are slightly different.

jvmacross Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Here are the V 2.0.... https://www.kidslogic.toys/products/robotech-macross-watch-vol-4?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=2c8a3b1bd&pr_rec_pid=7095533797434&pr_ref_pid=6843778007098&pr_seq=uniform The site claims they cannot tell which watch is contained in each box...but you are saying that you can on the V 1.0 watches?

The case I ordered consisted of 12 watches, there was another set of 9 watches that had an additional 3 watches as you linked to. The problem is everywhere is sold out so I don't have a link. I have a contact who is a wholesale importer, my case had a full set and random extras, all watches are sealed and you can see what your getting by the picture on the box, as I stated above.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Fokker1S Blacked out version Fokker1S Low Viz.. I like the gunmetal case and hardware on this one. Hikki TV 1J.. Max TV 1J... Millia TV 1J... the modex on the watch is a neat touch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Is there like a guide for how one would use the 2 rows of numbers on the circumference of the watch? The spacing/limits(90) are weird Are they useful or just design elements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to bet design elements, maybe a watch expert can chime in. @jvmacross found a HK vendor listed on the box.. https://kigomi.com/products/超时空要塞 Edited April 13 by Stampeed Valkyrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in the grey one I am listing the duplicates in the sale section, I will post a link once I do so. Grey one went fast, I have this cross posted other places.
