Does the screen stay on the Tamagotchi always? I notice I can switch the display to show my pet or the time clock but the screen never goes blank

yes! the screen stays on constantly, even when your tamagotchi dies the screen will stay on the dead pet until revived, leading you back to the egg screen and so forth. theres no real way to turn the screen “off”.

What type of batteries does it take?

Hello, These Tamagotchi's use a single 3v battery (CR2032). Thanks!

Worth the wait

POV: You were born in the mid to late 80's. You're an adult now. You want the toy your parents refused to get you. You get it. It's a great little distraction on long trips and can help make sure you drink enough water through the day if you drink some whenever you have to deal with the fact they went to the bathroom or when you have to feed/enrich them.

Hard to see!

Had one when i was a kid and i loved it, thought I would by one for my daughter. Brought a lot of memories back, but unfortunately it is super hard to see the screen!! Not sure if i got a defective one? or if it was always this difficult to see! Kind of bummed.. :(

Fun Game

I got this as a gift for my gal pal and she loves it so much she brings it with her everywhere and she almost asked Hilary Knight to sign it at a hockey game.
