Bethesda's new Pip-Boy 3000 replica lets you measure harmless radiation - sort of.
A highly detailed, wearable replica of the iconic Fallout accessory is now on sale for $299.99, with shipping expected to start as early as June 2026. The replica was designed using 3D models from the games and boasts a 4-inch LCD screen that simulates the look and feel of vintage CRTs.
But it's not just about looks - the Pip-Boy 3000 also comes with some real functionality, including a functional radiation detector, flashlight, headphone jack, alarm clock mode, and more. However, instead of detecting the deadly fallout from nuclear blasts, this replica measures the harmless radiation of FM radio broadcasts using on-screen meters and simulated geiger counter sounds.
Fans of Fallout will love the accuracy to the original design, with hundreds of menus that can be navigated using scroll wheels and dials - plus even a playable version of the Atomic Command minigame. The screen can also be toggled between different interfaces used in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
The replica's front casing is made from die-cast metal, while the body is injection-moulded plastic with a memory foam cuff that can be enlarged using an included spacer. It all comes together to create a truly immersive experience for any Fallout fan - just don't expect it to save your skin from radiation poisoning in the real world!

. I mean, who wouldn't want to wear a mini retro computer on their wrist, right? 
It's like stepping into the Fallout universe - the level of detail is insane, from the menus to the simulated Geiger counter sounds. But what's really cool is that it comes with some actual functionality, like a flashlight and alarm clock mode. I just wish they included a way to adjust the radiation levels for when you're not listening to FM radio broadcasts... it feels a bit silly. Still, fans of Fallout are gonna love this, and at $299.99, it's a pretty sweet deal. Bring on June 2026 shipping! 
What's next? A replica watch that tells you the exact number of hours until you need to eat lunch again?
. Not to mention the fact that you're paying for shipping in 2026... What's wrong with the company? Can't they even get that part right? 
its literally soooo accurate to the original design and the fact that it has a functional radiation detector (that measures harmless radio waves lol) is just pure genius 
. but what im most hyped about is the alarm clock mode - idk who else needs this in their life, but i'm all for it 
its like $300 bucks tho which is kinda steep, but i guess if ur a true Fallout fan, it's worth every penny 
The fact that it measures harmless radiation from FM radio broadcasts is actually kinda cool too - who knew being a radiation detective would be so much fun? 
Can't wait for it to ship next summer and get my hands on one ASAP! 
I mean, what's next? Paying $500 for a fancy calculator that does math... oh wait, people are already doing that 
over this new pip-boy replica!!! 
idk if its gonna make me feel safer from rad but at least its a fun collectible 
maybe ill even start collecting them all now? 
. I THINK IT'S PRETTY SMART HOW THEY MADE THE SCREEN LOOK LIKE AN OLD CRT AND ALL, PLUS THE PLAYABLE MINIGAME IS AWESOME!!! 
but like, who pays $299.99 for something that's only supposed to measure harmless radio waves? isn't that just, like, a novelty at best? and the fact that it doesn't even work as intended in real life is pretty lame. on the other hand, fans of Fallout are gonna love all the details and accuracy to the original design - i mean, who wouldn't want to wear their Pip-Boy 3000 to Comic-Con or something 
I mean, who wouldn't want to wear a wearable piece of Fallout history around their neck? The attention to detail is insane – from the die-cast metal casing to the simulated geiger counter sounds. And can we talk about the functionality? A functional radiation detector that actually measures FM radio broadcasts? Genius! 
The only thing is, don't expect it to save you from real-world radiation poisoning 
. And yeah, it's not meant to be taken seriously, but still... it's $299.99 for a sweet piece of nerd gear? Worth it! 
. It looks all fancy and advanced, but when you get down to brass tacks, it's just a bunch of flashy features that don't actually do much. I mean, who needs a real radiation detector when you've got a mock one on your wrist? It's like our politicians making promises about healthcare or education - they look good on paper, but what happens when you try to put them into practice?
