Anyone else remember a transforming watch, back in the day?

[jackabina]

When I was at school, I had a watch. Black rubber strap, and a square blue or red face, which pulled off and would transform into a little robot. I want one again!

Anyone know what the hell i'm on about?

 

[PGowdy]

I have one. They were GoBots. Mine is a little red one.

Very similar Pete, but mine was smaller, and far simpler than that.

Which one? There's dozens of different robot watches on that link.
The one i posted in very small. About 1inch by 2 inches and about as simple as it could possibly be.
There were these ones which were almost identical by Quartz. The only different is they didn't have as long legs and little feet like the GoBot versions.

I think I had the one in this link (3rd pic down):

My brother had it in yellow too... I seem to remember getting it from the covered market in Swindon

 

[Stuart Skinner]

Spooky I was only talking about these at the weekend.

I had a couple of these, loved them, would love to get one again for sentimental reasons.

 

[pizzathehutt]

i had a blue one, it looked like it was a decepticon plane, loved that watch

 

[x-pack]

Oh the memories...

I had the red Quartz one. Are they official licensed Transformer watches? I remember my dad buying it for me near his place in Tarporley.

Would never have remembered having one of these if this thread didn't exist, totally forgot about ever having one as a kid.

I had dark grey coloured one.

Thanks for the memories

There's been a great response to this, thanks for getting involved. I'll keep updating when my memory allows.
I'll go again.

Also had the police car......................cool as!!

 

[SAVORY100]

Yep, I seem to remember having one of those as well... not sure about the police car version though.

On the watch front, I was chatting to my brother about them and he's certain that someone is remaking the transforming watches; both the standard rectangular robot version and the one that went from watch to F-16. If I can find out more, I'll share.
