Looks cool but they should add more games at least double, those games are tiny so it wouldnt be that hard either

they could put them all on it. the approx 600 titles combined take up about 4 megabytes of space.

It doesn't look like this is emulating Atari 2600 games, if only because the form factor of the watch (vertical orientation, ballpark 3:4) is the exact opposite of the old console. These appear to be native ports to whatever hardware the watch is running.
Also, is this not just a bad product? Why would anybody want to play games on their watch? Most people already have another device in their pocket that's going to offer a better experience.

Four games and you decide to include Pong and it's far superior successor Super Breakout? Moronic, there are tons of 2600 games that would have worked just as well on a watch.

If this was actually a smart watch I'd seriously consider it, but it apparently doesn't have any way of connecting to a smartphone.
