Almost everyone in this thread is talking about wannabe tryhards, investment, and reliable watches, but for people who are interested in the pictured watch, they're real, but pretty cheap and flimsy; I have a couple.

They came out in gashapon machines a couple of years ago, although I got mine just last year for (IIRC) ¥500 a pop. It's a series by Takara-Tomy with two models of Saturn (black and white), and two models of PS1 (PSX and PSOne).

Just adding to your post, Japanese yen dont factor in decimals. So if you were to right out 500 yen like we do dollars itd be 5.00 yen, so five bucks.
