Did a quick search, didn't spot this except for a catalogue number showing up...

And is this relatively new?

Frenzy looks nothing like his skinny bony self. Does the watch actually work?

Wouldn't translate well to toy form, as a standalone. The frenzy that comes with Barricade is pretty neat, so I'm set.

I'd say probably not. None of the other real gear stuff has any working components.
It's obvious that the other Real Gear stuff would not really work, but a digital watch could certainly pose no problems. That said, the time on the pics is fixed at 5:17 and 40secs (anyone any idea why, off hand?) which is a crying shame. At least the old watches were not simply decorative toys, even if they were simple.
I'll live with that mini boombox as Frenzy, having just read the first installment of the magazine of the movie. He even spits discs, see?

You're joking right? Burger King can sell digital watches for $2.99 and those came with a tin, and had to pay Lucas his outrageous licensing fees. I'm sure they could sell this at the same price as the rest of the (probably larger) Real Gear figures.

It'd be $50.00 if it had a calendar,stopwatch,alarm clock,etc. like my digital watch.

Nope, the watch is not functional. It was shown on another auction sometime last month and a seller was asked and he said no.
Still, it looks nice. It would've been nice for the Real Gear items to have some sort of functionality.
Such as Longview, apparently you can actually look through him, but nothing magnifies, etc. It's a simple piece of plastic, turning him into work binoculars wouldn't have hurt.
Meantime would've been an easy thing to do as well, LCD guts and a battery aren't that expensive.
Ah well, at least they look cool.
