Yamanote Line Watches from Tokyo

If you live in Tokyo and you're feeling nostalgic about your daily commute, or you're just visiting and want a crazy tech-noir souvenir then you might want to pick up one of the Yamanote Line Watches. It's an almost perfect replica of the stations electronic signage and is available for the Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ebisu, and Shinagawa stops.

Unfortunately that's as good as it gets, there's no train timetables, no maps and no real-time updates so you can plan your trip like clockwork. For ¥25,200 ($240) you just get a watch that simply tells the time and date — okay, and maybe a bit of attention at the next Gibson book meet.
