Dimensional Travel Watch

Not just a watch -- a "Web Watch." But no ordinary web, no -- a web that connects all of time and spaces!

—Spider-Ham[source]

History

Web-Warriors[]

Dimensional Travel Watch from Web Warriors Vol 1 2

Pavitr's design

After the first Inheritors crisis, a group of Spider-Totems formed the Web-Warriors on the Loomworld to protect the Web of Life and Destiny and all the worlds connected to it. Pavitr Prabhakar of Earth-50101 developed wrist-mounted devices for the team that allowed them to view and travel the Great Web.[4] Although mainly used for the Web-Warriors business, some like Gwen Stacy also utilized their watches during their solo adventures.

During the second Inheritors crisis, some of the watches were stolen by the returned Inheritors, and in an attempt to trap them Norman Osborn Spider-Man of Earth-44145 blew up the Web of Life and Destiny. Their capabilities derived from the Great Web, the watches immediately stopped functioning, trapping most Spiders who were currently engaged in fighting the Inheritors.[5] Luckily, the watch of Earth-65 Gwen Stacy was rebuild into a Ticket to the Multiverse keyed to her DNA.[6] This left Gwen the only Spider with ability for casual Multiversal travel and allowed her to return everyone back to their home worlds after the Inheritors were defeated.[7]

The Great Web was eventually restored by the Patternmaker, but the watches remained out of use.[8] During this time Iron Mouse of Earth-8311 stole Spider-Ham's personal watch in an effort to repair it and use it himself; however, he was unable to fix it, so instead simply replaced the internal mechanism with the Bee-Yonder, at which point Spider-Ham stole the watch back.[9]

Miguel's first design

Spider-Society design

In another reality, Miguel O'Hara would also go on to create his own interdimensional travel device, reminiscent of the Dimensional Travel Watch.[3] The technology he used apparently did not rely on the Great Web directly and instead of reminiscent of Alchemax's supercollider, which left the dimensional travelers glitching while in another dimension. After Miguel improved on his initial design, his watches prevented their wearers from glitching and also contained built-in surveillance devices. This allowed Miguel to establish the Spider Society, all members of which had watches of their own. Visitors to their HQ were also provided day passes that did not allow independent travel and were only useful for preventing glitching.[10]

Hobie Brown's bootleg design

Unbeknownst to Miguel, Hobie Brown has been stealing his technology so he could make his own watch. After seeing Miguel's treatment of Miles Morales, Hobie quit the Spider Society and left his watch behind. Back on his world however, he was able to successfully make a watch of his own, different design. He left one such watch with his friend Gwen Stacy's father in case her own was compromised. This exact thing happened when Miguel kicked Gwen out and sent her home, locking the account on the watch she still had. After receiving Hobie's gift, Gwen used it to assemble some of her remaining friends into a band of her own.[10]
