Tag Heuer Has A Limited Edition Super Mario Smartwatch

Luxury watch maker Tag Heuer is no stranger to the world of smartwatches, even if its presence isn’t exactly prominent. Last year, the company announced its third generation Connected smartwatch. The company has since announced that it will be making a limited edition, Super Mario-themed one.

The Tag Heuer Connected Super Mario edition will have lots of special features, and it’s not limited to a unique theme. One example includes dials that become “livelier and more animated” the more you move. There’s also a “gamification rewards system”, with Mario reminding you of your steps progress with different animations.

And it’s not just in the software either. Tag Heuer will also give the Super Mario edition Connected smartwatch extra touches on the physical side of things. For one, the bezels now have the mushroom symbol at three o’clock, the pipe at six, and the star at nine, as well as red highlights. The crown gets the red M that represents the character too. It will also have two interchangeable bands. One has a layer of black leather on red rubber, the other is just a red rubber, perforated band.

But for now, the Tag Heuer Connected Super Mario edition comes with a US$2150 (~RM9010) price tag. Only 2000 of these will be made, and they will be available on 15 July. You can register your interest in it via its official website, linked below.

Luigi To Join LEGO Super Mario On 1 August For RM259.90

Mario has gotten the LEGO treatment last year, and now, it is finally time for Luigi to do the same. The LEGO Group has announced the new Luigi Starter Course for the LEGO Super Mario Adventures line.

For the most part, LEGO Luigi is pretty much the same as the Mario counterpart. He comes with the same kind of tech we saw before, like screens that take the place of his eyes, mouth and chest. Pair that with the same wireless tech for the same kind of interactivity. And since both are part of the same LEGO Super Mario Adventures series, it’s probably safe to expect interactivity between the new and existing pieces.

Of course, it’s not just a simple recolour of the existing Mario model. Luigi has his own unique look to him, from his cap and hair to the size of his moustache. The voice work is also naturally different, as Luigi retains his distinct voice, keeping things consistent between the LEGO and video game worlds.

The LEGO Group says that the Adventures with Luigi Starter Course will be available starting 1 August. But you can pre-order them now for RM259.90, via Brick Magic, Box of Bricks, LEGOLAND, Toys ‘R’ Us, or the official LEGO Store on Lazada and Shopee. You’ll also get a themed carrying case if you do. Though at the time of writing, that last one has not yet added the item to the list.
