Anime fans and volleyball enthusiasts can now track their health with a touch of Haikyuu!! flair. A new line of smartwatches inspired by three powerhouse schools — Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa Academy, and Inarizaki High — is set to launch in July 2026. The collaboration between the anime and character-collab brand GARRACK marks the second wave of such devices.
School-Specific Designs with Hidden Details
Each watch features a team-colored band and a custom watch face packed with playful references. The Aoba Johsai model, for instance, displays the school’s banner “Seize the Court” when the wearer’s heart rate rises above a certain level. Calories are shown with an Oikawa (Mori) design, and notifications trigger a tree silhouette.
The Shiratorizawa model brings out the banner “Be a Strong One” on elevated heart rate, with calorie display featuring Ushijima Washi and Tendou Washi. Notifications appear as an eagle silhouette.
For Inarizaki, the banner “I Don’t Need Memories” appears, while calories are shown with Tsumu Kitsune and Samu Kitsune. A fox silhouette pops up for notifications.
Function Meets Fandom
Beyond the aesthetics, the smartwatches are built for daily use. They boast a battery life of up to 14 days on a single charge and support quick charging. Stress management, activity tracking, and a lightweight design are also included. A special gimmick changes the watch face characters based on step count, letting users enjoy the world of Haikyuu!! while staying active.
Pricing and Availability
All three models are priced at 10,890 yen (tax included). Pre-orders begin on July 3, 2026 (Friday), with the official release scheduled for July 31, 2026 (Friday). Each watch comes in a special box decorated with the school’s banner design.
