The Green House GH-SMWL x Sanrio smartwatches have been unveiled by the Tokyo-based tech brand as a series of cartoon-branded wearables for cartoon fans to pick up. The various smartwatches are inspired by different characters from the Sanrio world including Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Pompompurin and Cinnamoroll, which each have a different aesthetic. The wearables will each put their respective character in the spotlight thanks to their straps, but the interface also features options for them to be displayed every time the smartwatch is toggled.
The Green House GH-SMWL x Sanrio smartwatches are available now for preorder from the brand's website in Japan for 14,080 yen and are slated to start shipping February 20, 2025. The watches also allow their respective character's voice to be used for ringtones, alarms and more.
