Yo-kai Watch (merchandise)


 * If you were looking for merchandise of the Yo-kai Watch franchise, see Merchandise

The Yo-kai Watch object has been made into a real-life toy, with each of them coming with collectable Yo-kai Medals or Yo-kai Arks. They can be inserted into the watch, which will play the summoning song but they can also be taken out normally.

Aside from Yo-kai Medals being the main point, the Yo-kai Watch toys can also be customized. They either come in "Upgrade Kits" (with the U1 and U2 models for example) or accessories that have changeable faces and strap covers. Some models can also be attached to other objects such as the Yo-kai Blaster or the Yo-kai Bazooka by detaching it from the strap.

Overview
It is made out of plastic, that has a printed clock face on paper with bumps on it. The Yo-kai Watch can also be worn on the wrist with an adjustable strap that fits all sizes. Almost every real-life model has replaceable batteries, which either use one AAA battery or a LR44 alkaline button batteries.

Inserting a Yo-kai Medal will play the summoning song of it's Tribe, with some medals having lighting effects to add to the imagination of the Yo-kai being summoned. Yo-kai Medals that are being put into the toy are identified with the bumps present on the other side of it, corresponding to the bumps on the clock's face.

Yo-kai Watch toys sold in Japan, South Korea and South-eastern Asia are manufactured by Bandai while they're manufactured by Hasbro in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. Despite the design of the models being largely the same, they have several differences such as a modified clock-face design and the lack of a searchlight. The Yo-Motion technology is also another drastic example, which has the holographic light of the Yo-kai being displayed through the searchlight.

Upgrade-able Models
Starting with the Bandai-manufactured Yo-kai Watch Model U, they can be upgraded via usage of a SD Card for the Model U or the MicroSD for later models.

The Model U updates via an SD Card slot on the side of the watch. The downloads to the updates can be found in the Yo-tunes page.
