Slam Dunk Watch Buying Guide — Which Version, Which Character, Which Movement?
For a long time, the best you could find was a knockoff dial with Sakuragi’s face on it. That era is over. The TokeiToys Slam Dunk watch collection is officially licensed, built around precision quartz movements, and — in the Version 2.0 mechanical edition — a full self-winding movement that has nothing to prove on anyone’s wrist.
These are watches made for adults who grew up watching the Shohoku vs Sannoh game and remember exactly which character they were.
Version 1.0 or Version 2.0 — Classic Red or Signature Black?
Version 1.0 carries the classic Shohoku red and white colourway — the uniform that Sakuragi sweated through for an entire season of growth.
Version 2.0 shifts to black, with a darker aesthetic that suits Rukawa’s energy as much as it does your everyday wrist.
Both versions cover the same five characters: Hanamichi Sakuragi, Takenori Akagi, Hisashi Mitsui, Ryota Miyagi, and Kaede Rukawa. Version 2.0 adds two exclusive options: a Quartz design and the Slam Dunk Mechanical Watch.
The Mechanical Watch — For the Fan Who Takes Both Seriously
The Slam Dunk Mechanical Watch (Version 2.0, $70) is the standout piece in the collection. A self-winding mechanical movement — no battery, powered by the motion of your wrist — inside a Slam Dunk-licensed case that no other watch on the market offers.
For the fan who is also a watch enthusiast: this is it. For the collector who wants the piece that will hold its interest over time: this is also it.
A Note on Availability
Several character variants are currently sold out — Mitsui and Miyagi in Version 1.0, Sakuragi in Version 2.0. The Single Random editions ($40) offer an accessible entry point while stocks are limited.
If a specific character is your priority, Version 2.0 currently has better availability across the roster.
Is This Related to The First Slam Dunk Movie?
The collection draws on the full Slam Dunk universe, including the aesthetic of The First Slam Dunk (2022) — the film that brought the franchise back to a global audience after nearly three decades.
Whether you discovered Slam Dunk in 1993, 2022, or somewhere in between, the five characters on these watches are the ones that matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an officially licensed Slam Dunk anime watch?
Yes. TokeiToys produces the official Slam Dunk watch collection under licence from the Slam Dunk IP rightsholder.

Both are physical wristwatches, not streaming links.
What is the difference between Slam Dunk Watch Version 1.0 and Version 2.0?
Version 1.0 features the classic Shohoku red and white colourway in five character designs plus a Single Random option. Version 2.0 features a black colourway with the same five characters, plus two additional options: the Slam Dunk Quartz Watch and the Slam Dunk Mechanical Watch (self-winding, $70) — exclusive to Version 2.0.
