Live Vicariously Through Your Life Clock
Posted by Sean Fallon at 7:30 AM on October 11, 2008
The Life Clock from Jinsei Tokei is kind of like a Tamagotchi for adults—but instead of caring for it, the little guy living inside this box mimics your lifestyle. Well...sort of. You see, you can choose between three characters: a salaryman, a schoolgirl or a rock star. It gets up when your alarm goes off and it goes back to sleep when you set it at night. In-between that time it will do things like eat, shop and go out on dates. It will even cook if you use it as a kitchen timer. So, this is really a model of how to to live your life. You know—earn a little money, eat 3 square meals a day, find yourself a nice girl and do it all with a strict punctuality. Available for $US55. [Japan Trend Shop via TRFJ]

@russdanger: It makes you anal retentive, and run your life like a clockwork orange.

Uhm...Maybe I'm missing something here. What the hell does it do?

Nope, I was wrong. We have something else very similar to that in the office visually, but play-wise is different.
Sadly this is another example of the sheer amount of "crap" toys flooding the Asian markets. Graphics such as this might have gone over when the Tomagotchi was big, but these days it's incredibly disappointing.
For $55 it's huge ripoff.

@russdanger: It wakes you up at a user-determined time, giving an option to stop the alarm, or to postpone for a short period of time. At least, I think that's what an alarm clock does.

Pfftt. Lifeclocks are for all you optimists. How about a Deathclock for us pessimists ?

So, it sounds like most of what it does no one will ever see.
So how would I know it actually did any of it ???
Maybe I'll set a slo-mo cam. Then when I get home I can watch what it did all day. Instead of soap-operas.

I wish they'd invent more ways for people to enjoy life NON-vicareously.
