$420 for an Atari 2600 watch… who is buying this?! + More Retro News!

??? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re looking at a seriously bold (and seriously pricey) tribute timepiece that wears classic Atari vibes right on your wrist — woodgrain energy and all.

Plus, two more retro headlines you’ll want on your radar: AYANEO says 2026 will bring real improvements to customer support and after-sales service, and Digital Eclipse’s Disney Afternoon Collection has reportedly been rated for Switch and “Switch 2”, which could mean a whole new audience for those cartoon-era classics. ??

What do you think: iconic collectible… or peak nostalgia tax? Drop your take in the comments! ?
