Inspired by a pandemic-era interest in Dungeons & Dragons and electronic projects, the designer created the Timestop D-20 watch, reflecting the nostalgia of the original D&D book release in 1974.

This innovative watch allows users to roll various types of dice, including D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20, and features options for rolling with advantage or disadvantage, specifically tailored for D&D 5E.

Additionally, the watch's 'Advanced Combat Mode' can roll up to 12 dice at once and includes a random number generator for dice up to D100, enhancing its versatility for other tabletop RPGs.

It also includes specific icons to indicate critical failures (rolling a 1) and critical successes (rolling a 20), making it a practical tool for gamers.

The Timestop D-20 is designed with a durable, water-resistant housing and features a backlit LCD display, powered by a replaceable CR2025 battery that lasts up to three years with typical use.

Initial prototypes were crafted from 3D-printed materials, but the final version boasts mechanical buttons for easy operation, ensuring a user-friendly experience.

With a fun yet subdued design, the watch is suitable for everyday wear, even in office settings, appealing to both gamers and casual users.

Notably, the Timestop D-20 does not include an alarm feature, as the creator believes alarms detract from the enjoyment of the watch.

Pricing for the Timestop D-20 starts at $99 for the base model in black resin, while the stainless steel version retails at $160, with special editions priced at $120.

The limited run of the stainless steel model is expected to sell out quickly, prompting recommendations to consider the more affordable black resin option for those willing to wait.

Shipping for all models is scheduled for either January or February 2025, making it a highly anticipated release for tabletop gaming enthusiasts.

The watch also features practical complications, including day and date displays with a perpetual calendar, further enhancing its functionality.
