Tokyoflash watch concept is one I can actually use

Posted in Watches by Shane McGlaun on September 10th, 2010

I would say 99% of the watches that I see over on Tokyoflash are not something I would use. Let’s be honest, watches without numbers still through a lot of us off so having to decipher gobs of symbols that tell the time is just way more than I care to put up with. I will say that the watches are usually pretty cool though.

Tokyoflash has a new watch concept that is easy to use and was designed by a 14-year-old. The watch has numbers spelled out in one long run on all the way down the screen. The worlds are grey by default and when they are needed to tell the time the light up in blue.

Tokyoflash Night Vision watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on August 11th, 2010

The folks over at Tokyoflash never ever sleep. They don’t rest at all. They just spend all of their time coming up with unusual new watches. And that’s what we love about the company. Their latest crazy watch concept is the Night Vision concept.

This one looks pretty cool and Sci-Fi like with bright green lights. As usual, it’s hard to figure out how you tell the time at first. The outer bars indicate the hours, while the minutes are shown in the center in large digital numerals.

Tokyoflash Traffic Watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on August 4th, 2010

Those crafty folks over at Tokyoflash have yet another weird watch in the Traffic Watch. This one uses three map routes to display the time. The hours are displayed as the city streets marked in blue, while 5 minute intervals are shown along the subway line. The single minutes are shown in green.

There is also an optional night mode animation between 6pm to midnight. It can be recharged via USB, and will last for roughly a month on a 3.5 hour charge. The battery is good for up to 300 charge cycles, and can be replaced when needed.

Tokyoflash Space Digit watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on July 27th, 2010

Tokyoflash has introduced their latest watch concept called the Space Digit. This unique and hard to read watch features a silver ring around the face that contrasts against the black case and strap to enhance the fact that the lens is raised above the case.

There is also another deep acrylic lens that covers the interface, and beneath is what appears to be a maze of digits. Blue LEDs light up the display when the button is touched and three flashing digits show the current time.

Tokyoflash Wavelength watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on July 15th, 2010

Tokyoflash has unveiled their latest timepiece called the Wavelength. This one looks a bit out of character for the company, but still pretty neat. It features an always on LCD display and user selectable LED backlighting.

As usual, telling time with this watch is a bit confusing. The hour is displayed in digits in negative space in the center of the display, while minutes are shown as the ring of blocks surrounding the digits. The first rotation of minutes in positive blocks to 30 minutes, then the second rotation in negative blocks to 60.

Tokyoflash Gridlock watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on May 23rd, 2010

Tokyoflash, makers of high-end nerdware, have yet another futuristic watch. The Gridlock watch features an asymmetrical design with a curved, brushed metal case, a black screen and an orange interface. I know, you have the usual question. How the hell do you read this one?

Well, the hours are displayed on the left in highlighted squares, while the minutes on the right in digits. It’s not nearly as tough to read as some of their other watches, but just as good looking.

Tokyoflash Round Trip pocket watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on May 18th, 2010

Tokyoflash watches are pretty awesome. Without them, timekeeping would be boring. Here’s there latest creation. A modern pocket watch. The Tokyoflash Round Trip pocket watch charges via USB and the shapes, and colors tell the time…somehow.

A single charge takes about three hours, but Tokyoflash claims it’ll last a month once finished charging. At $73 this is an expensive nerd conversation peice. Pretty though.

Tokyoflash Kisai Broke watch looks like broken stained glass

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on April 28th, 2010

Love it or hate it, Tokyoflash makes unique watches. The face of the watch looks like broken stained glass, which is probably why it’s called the Kisai Broke. This one is also USB rechargeable, so no replaceable batteries, which is always a hassle.

It’s a Tokyoflash design, so it won’t be easy to read. But you don’t buy it to tell the time. You buy it to make a statement on your wrist. The Kisai Broke is available for $168 over at Tokyoflash now.

Instant Trend watch is too dang complicated to read

Posted in Watches by Shane McGlaun on April 2nd, 2010

At some point we need to draw the line on crazy watches that have displays you need a mathematics degree and an instruction manual to read. I want my clock to have numbers and just tell me what time it is, not impress my friends by how complicated it is.

Tokyoflash has unveiled its latest, and very complicated new watch called the Instant Trend. The thing has the expected majorly complex face to show what time it is. It also has a normal readout that can show the time in up to four zones at once.

Tokyoflash Binary Flow concept watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on March 24th, 2010

Here’s a watch that Neo from The Matrix would love. As usual, it’s from those crazy kids at Tokyoflash, so good luck deciphering the time on this one. The watch can be recharged via USB, and the display is e-paper, which makes it look cool.

With all of the cool watches that Tokyoflash offers I don’t know why anyone still wears a conventional watch. Oh yeah, they want to know the time easily. I would wear this one though. Pretty neat.

E Clock is like having an e-book on your wrist

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on March 14th, 2010

TokyoFlash, those makers of all kinds of wacky and fun watches, have done it again. Now they have created an E-ink display watch to accompany the current e-book craze. Looks pretty sweet. The E Clock can tell the time using normal numbers, or by using patterns of dashes and lines if you like to be mysterious.

It will connect via Bluetooth to your phone, alerting you to calls and texts through vibration or a blinking indicator. It might not look like it, but the band is made from flexible stainless steel. If enough people vote for it, they will make it and offer it up. What do you think?

Maze of Time watch is surprisingly easy to read

Posted in Concepts by Shane McGlaun on March 8th, 2010

At first glance, this watch design concept called Maze of Time looked to be very confusing. The watch has different color lines that overlap in a sort of maze configuration. The watch face has a decoding color key on it to tell you what color is for what number.

Yellow and blue numbers are for the hours and red and green numbers are for minutes. Each colored set of lines makes a number and once you see how it works the thing is very easy to read.

Tokyo Flash Hexagon Watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on March 5th, 2010

If bees wore watches this is what they would look like. Just looking at this watch, you know it’s from Tokyo Flash. But this Hexagonal watch isn’t real, it’s just a stunning concept. We hope that Tokyo Flash decides to make it real.

Telling the time on this thing is easy. The blue colored LEDS are the hours, five minute increments are purple and individual minutes are pink. So are you all buzzing about this watch? Sorry, bad joke. I’ll bee more careful in the future.

Ants Watch will make your skin crawl

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on June 18th, 2009

Ants Watch will make your skin crawlAt first glance, you might think that the ant watch is from Tokyoflash, but it’s actually from Seahope. It looks pretty confusing. Even more confusing than Tokyoflash watches.

I’ve looked at the image for a solid two hours and I still can’t figure out which ant does what. There is way too much math involved in this watch. It’s driving me nuts already and I don’t own the damn thing. Plus, all this attention to ants is making my skin crawl a little.

Storm Synth watch has too many hands

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on May 21st, 2009

Storm Synth watch has too many handsThe Storm Synth watch never ever wants you to know the time. So it hides it from you by mixing in the real hands with six fakes. The real hands both have tips. This means that glances won’t do. You’ll have to stare down your watch and actually focus to find the time.

Of course watch makers all want to be different and stand out from the crowd. Tokyoflash makes all kinds of watches that are tough to read. But c’mon. With this watch they’re just plain messing with us. They probably have a bet on how many they can actually sell.
