{{Nihongo|'''Monkey Watch'''|さる時計|Saru Tokei|"Monkey Clock"}} is the 9th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 107th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
{{Nihongo|Monkey Watch|さる時<ruby>計<rt>どけい</rt></ruby>|Saru Dokei}} is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 2 (9th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 2nd of [[Shop No. 6]] (107th overall), costing 10 [[Flow Ball]]s, in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The game is about a new type of wrist watch called the Monkey Watch'', ''which is being worn on someone's wrist during the game.
A monkey (the character played in this game) is holding onto the watch's clock hand. As the hand is ticking around the clock, other monkeys will come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. The monkey hanging onto the clock hand must high-five back. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys will appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats, making the player tap A twice to high-five both monkeys before going back to the regular beat.
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Monkey Watch.png|thumb]]
In order to operate the monkey watch itself, the player controls a [[Small Monkeys|Small Monkey]] holding onto the watch's hand. As the hand is ticks around the clock, other monkeys come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats.
The clock hand makes two-and-a-half rotations around the watch in the duration of the song. As it progresses, the games obscures the visuals; quarter-way through the second rotation and at the end of the song, the screen zooms out to show the wholewatch on a man's arm (also showing a monkey face in the middle of it), making it much harder to see the monkeys. After the first zoom-out, a monkey in a balloon will start flying around waving at the screen; this can completely cover up the monkeys as you try to high-five them.

Monkey Watch
This new watch works differently from most. You might want to read the manual to learn how to use it...
In order to operate the monkey watch itself, the player controls a Small Monkey holding onto the watch's hand. As the hand is ticks around the clock, other monkeys come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats.
In the middle of the game, the screen zooms out to show the whole watch on a man's arm (also showing a monkey face in the middle), making it much harder to see the monkeys. After this, a monkey in a balloon appears, flying around waving at the screen.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player high-fives the monkeys, who proceed to cheer.
Early!/Late!?: The player mistimes their high-five with a "tick" sound, making the other monkeys upset.
Miss...?: The player fails to high-five the monkeys, making them hang their heads in shame. High-fiving when the player is not supposed to causes the man's arm to shake during the zoomed out. The monkey face on the clock also makes a hurt expression.
