BBTS has put up preorders for two watches that appear to be able to keep time, and transform at the same time. Whether they will have Autobot or Decepticon logos at this time is unknown:

I know, certainly a deterrent. Maybe they'll go on clearance or the Price will come down by the time they're available

I had something almost exactly like that when I was a kid, 20-some years ago.

Those are pretty sweet, better articulated than the old-skool ones, and I want one, but that's way too expensive. I hope they're metal at least, for that price.

$280 and it looks like poo. The Movie real gear were way better than this waste of space.

I mean... think what else you could buy with that amount of money...

$280, or I can go to Trader's World tomorrow and pick up an orginal 1980's one for $50.

Guess what I would do?

I wonder why the ass-high price for these? They're freaken transforming watches, unless it was made by Seiko or Rolex these are way expensive for some watches.

I'm getting a very strong Kronoform homage vibe from these.

I used to have a few of these when i was a kid and would love to get another but for that price i think not. For that price id rather get a nice citizen or Tag Huer.

price is a little steep, well i guess if you account for inflation
but still i thought the ones from the 80's were pretty cheap,
capitalism at it worst!

I have an original, minus the wristband.
So no need to waste enough money to buy a new, well, new lots of stuff, on a plastic watch.

Hope they end up getting different head sculpts for each one. Crazy prices though.

I wonder why they cost so much. I have the G2 Scorpion watch and it's way nicer than a simple robot.

I would upload a pic, but something won't let me. I don't kow if it is the site or the computer I am using.

Basically it is gold electroplated, says Transformers G2 and is stamped Takara, Ltd 1993. I started a thread asking some questions about it but really got no replies. The recent board wipe knocked out all the pics I had of it.
