    Sonic Adventure 1 Swatch City watch
    Swatch City did a Sonic Adventure 1 promotion with this really expensive watch. Why did it cost so much? It came with a plastic door sign thing. Is the watch measuring in Beat Time*? Like on Phantasy Star Online? Was this what kicked off the unique time measurement system? The…

This is another "5 Item School Set" where it kiiiind of is.
It's called the "Gotta Go Fast! Backpack Set". The backpack brings in a new element, which is a shiny silver crackle-finish foil. It looks nice, and is under a clear plastic so it will probably stand up to wear. The backpack background is mostly abstract/lines & has pointing CG Sonic large on the bottom. It only has 1 outer flat pocket.
The lunch box is circular. It's forward-facing modern Sonic where is face is the whole circle. They add flat flappy ears & mini spikes to the edge of it. Notice that the plasti-fabric for the face is a little shimmery. The effect...is another of those "Well everything could be Sonic's face" where you can tell they were kind of shoe-horning the concept in there.

How good this would be for fitting a lunch inside is unknown since it's round. The 3rd item is the ever unseen gel-icepack which is unbranded. Then there's the unbranded water bottle. The final item is the zipper pull. It's a squeezey-squish blue sphere that's supposed to represent rolling Sonic but it is just an unbranded sphere.
Disregarding (ish) the unbranded stuff, it's still a cute set for little kids. It's also interesting to see 'gotta go fast' on an official item like this because it's from Sonic X (which this is not) and was originally coined to make fun of Sonic and the show for having such a kooky theme song. But instead, it developed into a slogan. This is a 2019/fall item.
