So over a decade ago, I made this post about how I was able to obtain an original second gen pokégear. I alluded to it recently in this post, but I never really showed any detail shots, so I thought I'd finally share them.
So the box mentions having a few different features: calendar, watch, alarm, stopwatch, schedule, phone book, and radio. Keeping in mind that it is formated in Japanese, I never tried to enter in any numbers as Japanese phone numbers are 10 digits long. The calendar was also set to 2000 and a few years after (keeping in mind that this was acquired 13 years after it's intended use time).
The back of thr box has pictures of each setting display, all in Japanese.
The pokégear itself came with a velcro wrist strap and a neckstrap with a clasp.
The backof the pokégear has two plastic slots for you to slide the wrist strap into. Also, I put the battery stopper back in after initially testing it in case I ever learned enough Japanese to actually use it XD.
The only reason this thing can fit around my wrist is because I have tiny baby wrists, apparently. >:T
The neck strap is honestly pretty short and basically, when hanging around my neck, ends at my clavicle. Ideally, I'd like a longer one for cosplay purposes.
The instructions are all in Japanese and I have it in mind to play with it more once I learn enough Japanese to read it without a translator app. I've used it since I got it for Kris cosplay, but that's a post for a different time.
Anyways, if you ever see me draw Kris with a blue pokégear or wearing it on her wrist, you know why now.
