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!

my tamagotchi came with no sound. waht i need to do? click a and c buttons don’t help me

Feel I was ripped off

Bought from Amazon US. This item was the correct design and delivered on time but this was definitely not a new product. No instruction manual, display is weak (hopefully new batteries will sort this) and the tab to pull out from the battery for a new product is missing/has already been pulled out (The display also shows a dead Tamagotchi, so it's been used) Left a sour taste for the price. Should have got it off Ebay :(

Broke in less than a month

You can tell it's more cheaply made than the originals were. Mine broke in less than a month

I'm in love!!!!

I love my Tamagotchi so much!! I've been using this tama for about a week now and it's so good!! I am far from disappointed with this product and will definitely buy it again. It does require quite a bit of attention but it can be paused by going to change the time and leaving it there.

Pretty Little Tama

I just bought it to look at it and you're probably reading this review because you want to do the same. Very pretty little Tama. Can't comment on the game play because, as I said, I bought this pretty little Tama just to look at it. It's currently on display in my room. A+ would recommend you buy one to look at it too. Oh! I have read that if you do play it, don't feed it snacks until it's an adult or you greatly increase the chances of killing it and you may be arrested by the Tama police before you can even reset the device.
