An RPG that only they can make, set in Earth’s distant future.
Travel the cosmos to uncover what life truly means.

While it’s not packed with tons of items, it makes up for that with quality.
Most don’t supply a physical container inside that flowery box.
Starfield chose the latter, and it’s the best I’ve ever seen or carried, literally.

No, seriously, this sucker is hefty and feels like it’s meant to take a beating.
However, this is a first-class chest, and I don’t want a single scratch upon it.
Even placing it on the rock surfaces I used for photos had me reeling in fear I would.

Thankfully, none managed to show up, somewhat proving its durability.
The latch in front is another thing of beauty.
Something always felt off, like it was cheap and unusable.
The attention to detail is fantastic.(Image credit: Michael Hoglund)
The opening instrument at the front of the container handles with the grace and smoothness every collector wants.
The case itself is pleasant.
There’s nothing extra about it, no engravings or whatnot.
It’s a simple design that caters to the overall theme of Starfield.
It’s a lovely and serviceable case.
Bethesda, thankfully, had a little more fun.

In Starfield, you’ll come across credchips.
Inside the steel case is a hardy chip with your code engraved for whatever platform you’ve chosen.
I’m not kidding, either; the chip is one heavy token of love.

The patch is the most prominent item you’ll see inside the crate.
It’s colorful, large, and well-made.
It definitely accomplishes its goal of trying to be an astronaut patch.

Now, to find something worthy enough to attach it to.
While I joke, the Chronomark watch has features of any general smartwatch.
Users can track their steps, control music, and more.
There’s even a weather app on the watch, but that feature has yet to become available.
The color scheme matches that of the contained it comes in, as well as Starfield’s overall aesthetic.
Clean, neat, and to the point.

I would even be comfortable saying it’s brighter than my $250 Fitbit Sense.
User choice is always a good thing, though!
Like using its built-in accelerometer to chart a g-force graph.

Why does this exist, and why haven’t I had it before?
Did I mention this thing keeps time, too?
On top of the accelerometer, there’s a barometer, magnetometer, and temperature gauge.
All give their various graphs on a single page or a screen dedicated entirely to one chart.
No matter how useless this actually is, it doesn’t matter.
Starfield is a game of science, and this watch looks to match.
Another quirky but sophisticated function is the watch’s capacity to track the moon phase.
It’ll even detail the amount of sun on the moon’s surface and the distance from the Earth.
By the way, the next full moon will be September 29th.
We’ll be around 367,000 kilometers away.
And did you know that the last blue moon was two days before Starfield launched into early access?
Should you buy it?
The entire package is dope.
Like the copy of Dead Space I purchased this year or the Cyberpunk statue I got my hands on.
I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone for this one.
Seriously, not only did every piece of this package feel worth it, but it’s actually usable.
I find myself having to pick a smartwatch now.
It’s a mix of all three; let’s be honest.
