As usual, Tokyoflash has incorporated a magical touch to actually reading the time, similar to the rest of their watch lineup. They use rings of LED’s to give you the exact time and even have an animated demo on the website on how to decipher it.

The inner ring of orange blocks represent hours in the same position as hours on a clock face, the outer ring of blue blocks represent three-minute intervals in the same position as minutes on a clock face. Two single minutes are shown in green at the bottom to give the exact time

  • Displays the time

I have been a tech fanatic and gadget guru ever since I can remember. I started building computers at a young age and have been doing so ever since. Im a big fan of all things mobile but spend most of my time with Android when it comes to phones and Tablets. I like to spend my free time at the gun range, in the garage, or playing games.

    It looks really cool, but I’d never know what time it was. I read the bit about the colored rings and what they are supposed to represent, but by the time I could figure it out, I would have already pulled out my phone to see the time. That’s me though – I can’t tell time on a watch that doesn’t have numbers (or roman numerals) on it anyway.

      Once you learn how to read their watches, it should be hard to quickly glance and see what time it is. The site has a cool little flash demo on how to read it, check it out when you have the time.

    LOL – I can’t glance quickly at a regular watch and figure out what time it is! It’s a dyslexia thing. I have a hard time telling time, which is why I can’t do it on a regular watch that doesn’t have numbers or at least indicators on the face. I did check out the demo, but I’d never get the hang of it. I kind of wish I could tho – I love toys that other people don’t “get” and have to explain!
