Its a beautifully lo-fi watch with three main functions.
It tells you the time and the date andmost importantlyit rolls digital dice.
The $160 D-20 watch seems expensive, but it has appeal beyond many other simple digital vintage timepieces.

It includes an orange backlight for reading in dim, dungeon light.
Better yet, it could potentially be useful beyond D&D.
Theres an Advanced Combat Mode that lets you roll up to 12 dice at once.

Advanced Combat Mode just shows the combined total for multi-die rolls, Montgomery said.
Its worked well in our campaign.
The first few watch prototypes were housed in 3D-printed shells with ever-shrinking boards and components.
The final version has a water-resistant housing with mechanical buttons for selecting die types or changing the time.
Timestop promises a 3-year battery life before you should probably replace the CR2025 watch battery housed in the rear.
The base black resin model costs $100, but the special orange version costs $120.
For stainless steel, youll need to fork over $160.
The stainless steel version is currently available, but the cheaper models wont start shipping until January next year.
As of writing, the original 1,000-unit run of the metal watch may sell out soon.
If you could wait until January, I suggest opting for the cheaper black resin model.
With black plastic, youll at least feel like youre handling a real D20.

Some braver than others.
