These r the coolest most unique watches I've ever seen.
 
I saw this site a long time ago, but it slipped out of my mind for awhile.

I saw a link reminding me about them and was checking out the new watches.

They're all real and work...and cool/crazy

Tokyo Flash

I wonder who'd wear them though?

There were some really fashionable artistic designs by the watch company Elee-No that they sell that I would have worn, but they rotate there stock and they're gone:cries:

I'm not much of a watch person anyway, but they are cool.

Silly Japanese people. I read numbers.

So how do you know what time it is?

Well I read a couple descriptions. Each one works differently as they are by different companies and well, are different:D

Like some I guess you have to know how many red, blue, and yellow lights there are and where they are on the watch. So you kind of have to learn how a specific watch works. Most of the descriptions tell you.

You make that sound both mysterious/exciting and weird at the same time:laugh:

Some may just wear it for looks... I mean they DO have their technologically advanced cellphones glued to their ears/hands that I really want.

divided by 100... gives u a very rough estimate... i believe

they're normal priced for watches...

i've seen watches like that before... i think they were getting popular in HK when i was there 2 yrs ago.. i never worked out how it works but i believe they use binary codes...

=O was actually hoping that there some secret in readin these times..

but i just read the ones with the red/yellow/green dots.. and u literally hv to count the dots O_O

so u stand there for 20 sec.. reading the time...

I've been re-acquainting myself with the site, and the new stuff.

All the watches are as vast and varied as watches from different companies, in our own country.:laugh:

Some of them from Eleeno(if you read the small print, Tokyoflash is just selling them, many different companies actually make them) for example, are very artisitic and tell the time by overlapping and intersecting colored elipses. Like the solar system and planets rotation paths around the sun. So there is no counting in that one, and While some involve counting, there is vastly too many to simplify any of their operations into one category. Having said that: They ARE watches ya know:nahnah: Yes counting will be involved:sigh:

And besides. Our mines purposefully create patterns. You'd probably own a watch like that and in 5 seconds be able to figure out the time by barely glancing.:nahnah:

I do agree that if it takes twenty seconds to count to 12, then maybe something or someone's inefficient:nahnah:

i dont hv to count anything when i look at a watch.. unless i'm counting how long it is till lunch time..

i hvnt really had a browse at other watches.. but the one i read.. it had 15 dots to display each quarter of an hr... then two columns of 6 dots for the 12 hrs...

so i have to glance and work out the hr, then work out how many of the 15 dots and light up, then see which quarter these dots are related to.... O_O so its like a 3 part thing to read wat time it is on that watch i looked at... LOL

i like cool funky stuff... i think it'll be mad to go out with you friends at night.. ppl ask u "wats the time" and u look at all these "random" dots and say "its 11.30" i think i'll get a lot of attentions :laugh:

but... it wont be practical for me to wear everyday.. esp on a tired day LOL


but dont get me wrong, i think they're funky and i like them.. just ashame that i cant grab the practical side of it
