Four Watches, One Per Forger, All Wired to Your Step Count

Every model in the lineup runs on the same core idea: the face reacts to how much you walk. Outfits and expressions shift every 2,000 steps and reset at 10,000, and the background animates once per second even when the watch is sitting still on a desk.

The Loid Forger model drops a phone icon onto the face when a notification arrives, and the coffee in his cup empties as the battery drains. His lapel pin moves every second, and his outfit changes at each 2,000-step mark.

Anya's version swaps the phone icon for a peanut. The star pattern behind her drifts once a second, her expression changes every 2,000 steps, and the face shows a Tonitrus bolt while the count sits under 10,000, flipping to a Stella once it clears. It is the Eden Academy grading system rebuilt as a pedometer.

Yor's model displays a piece of the Thorn Princess necklace when a notification comes in. The rose on her face runs backward from bloom to bud as the battery falls, and parts of the Thorn Princess hair ornament move every second. Her outfit cycles on the same 2,000-step schedule.

Bond's model gets an icon based on his "bofu" bark, paw prints that move across the background once a second, and an expression change every 2,000 steps.

The Hardware Under the Gimmicks

Each of the four watches costs ¥10,890 including tax, or roughly $70. The bands are designed after each character's outfit, and each model gets an original watch face. On the fitness-tracker side, GARRACK lists fast charging and up to 14 days of battery on a single charge, plus stress management, exercise tracking and a lightweight build.

GARRACK is a brand built specifically for character tie-ins, operated by the timepiece arm of Japanese watch distributor Ueni Trading. Preorders for all four models open September 11, 2026, with general sales starting September 30, according to Anime Anime.

Where Spy x Family Sits Right Now

Tatsuya Endo's manga runs on Shonen Jump+, Shueisha's digital manga app. It follows Twilight, an elite spy handed an order to build a family and infiltrate a prestigious elementary school. He takes the cover identity of psychiatrist Loid Forger, adopts a daughter, Anya, who turns out to be a telepath, and proposes a marriage of convenience to Yor, who is an assassin. Neither of them knows what the other actually does, and the three live as a stand-in family for the sake of the mission.

The anime is a joint production between Wit Studio (Attack on Titan seasons 1-3) and CloverWorks. Season 1 aired from April 2022, Season 2 from October 2023, and Season 3 started on October 4, 2025. The theatrical film Spy x Family Code: White opened in December 2023 and was a major box office hit.

Bond being given his own standalone model, rather than a bonus strap or a charm bundled with Anya's, tracks with how the anime has treated him since Season 2. He is a lead, not an accessory.

Looking Ahead

Preorders open September 11, 2026, through GARRACK, with general sales from September 30. The Anime Anime report does not mention overseas retail or international shipping, so fans outside Japan will likely need a proxy service.

Season 3 is currently airing in Japan. Crunchyroll streams Spy x Family internationally, and Netflix and Hulu also carry the series in the US. The manga is published in English by Viz Media, with the Japanese edition currently at volume 17.
