The Pentax Q10 now sells as watch too…no joke!
The Pentax Q10 never has been a hotseller in Europe or North America but it’s quite popular in Japan. So popular that they even made a Q10….watch!!! RiceHigh spotted that image showing the new gadget (Click on it to see a large version).
I may add this to my collection of other accessories like the OMD keychain and the PEN keychain

Just thought i’d mention that it’s not very popular here either. And btw, I live in a small town area, I can walk 5 mins and buy the RX1, the Fuji Xe-1, and any other camera you can think of, I love that about here, news on these sites is about 4 weeks old compared to the local dealers here!

I see from the BCNranking stats that Pentax sold the !10 quite well. And it is under the 10 most sold mirrorless cameras….

Anyway, i’d buy the watch before i’d buy the actual camera.

Not only the Q10 gas shown in the topmof bcn but the Q also and in the dc market watch survey the original Pentax Q whote camemout as te #1 most desire camera in the survey for 2012.
So my guess is, its not a flop and selling in Japan somehwere. Also more and more people are starting to how up with one at some forums, cuting the original price issue and to a leaser extent the small sensor = useless misconception.
