    Love my little guy

    [Employee of bestbuy] My tamagotchi is the perfect thing to have in my pocket at all times. I've taken him to work, college, and a friend's house now they want one too! If you're worried about getting one because of how much noise they make, there is a way to disable sound for when you need quiet. I'm leaving this as a 4-star review because my only gripe is how there's no protective film for the screen when you first get it. I've had my Tama for less than a week and the screen is already full of scratches.

    Cute!

    They're just as remembered from when I was a kid! I have a few nanos but the connections were always my favorite growing up. I love that there's many game options and items to buy for your tama. I bought two so they can be friends. On this particular on, the battery died quicker than my pther one. It may have lasted me 3 weeks before i had to replace it

    Daughter Loves It

    I initially saw this for $30 and my daughter really wanted it. I decided to give this to her as an early Christmas gift went to the register to find out it was marked down to $19! My daughter is 7 and was able to easily learn how to take care of her tamagotchi. It’s better than giving her a puppy that I will have to take care of in the end. On top of buying this I was also given 2 months worth of Free Crunchy Roll which is $8.62 a month for the single account for reference.

    Tamagotchi Connection

    I really do enjoy this reproduction tamagotchi, it has a very nostalgic feel to it, but my biggest complaints are the fact that they put it on a ball chain instead of a key ring, and there are known issues with the battery coming loose at random, causing the tamagotchi to reset until you pop the battery and reinsert it. Otherwise the shell is cute, the sounds are nostalgic, and I didn't mind the price
