You Can Still Buy These Leftover Commemorative Obama Watches and They're Glorious

They say you shouldn’t live in the past.

But they said that before they saw this trove of amazing-borderline-janky Obama kitsch in the form of wristwatches that just resurfaced on the web.

Anyway, we thought it prudent you know about this ASAP, before all the good “Llamas for Obama” watches get snapped up.

As the story goes, the very reputable-sounding webshop ObamaWatches.com churned out dozens upon dozens of commemorative watches throughout Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns—three of which are enshrined in the Smithsonian, no less—and since they’ve still got a few tickers left over from that wild 2008-2016 ride, they’ve relaunched the site and are selling them off in limited edition.

[right way right]

I have a Chairman Mao watch.
I bought it from a Rorex watch salesman in China at Tiananmen square.
Series.

What catchy name would they use????

[Huskrrrr]

If you’ll buy that, my friend has a few old Franklin Mint collector pieces he’d like to unload.

[rightwingcrazy]

“cheap and fragile”

True to their namesake.

[GOYAKLA]

Good!
Although he might use Dr. ‘Popper’ time , 10, 2, 4.
More hits! ;^}

Cheap import. But it is self-winding, I understand....

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I bought a Somy television from the same Chinese merchant.

There is no way I’d have that piece of Chinese-made tin crap anywhere near my wrist.

[Lonely Bull]

Are these watches right even once a day?

[llevrok]

I wonder if they will have a clearance on Obama tire air pressure gauges too.

[nonsporting]

I always wanted one of these.

I think I still have my Clinton Backward-Running watch in a drawer somewhere.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to wear an Obama watch!!! Talk about tacky!!

Sort of on the same subject: I would LOVE to have a tee shirt with this on it: a photo of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, but instead of the accompanying saying “We are Groot”, it says “We are Trump”.

But I’m not a graphic artist, wish I was. Anyone with talent out there? You can have my idea, I don’t care, I just want a tee shirt , LOL!

Spiro Agnew watches were very popular when I was a teenager and I bought one. The hour hand was one of his feet, twice a day his foot went in his mouth. LOL. True story.

"Because Obama Watches are currently even more popular than they were in 2008, it may take up 3 weeks for your Obama Watches to arrive."

It will take up to 3 weeks for another shipment to arrive from China.

I had a version of a Spiro Agnew watch where his foot went in his mouth twice a day!

I still have a Goldwater ‘64 soda can (empty).
