Tokyoflash Waku watch: almost subtle
We're used to Tokyoflash watches being huge slabs of blinking stainless steel, and attempting to transplant a little of the Japanese skyline onto our wrist.

Mobiado Professional 105GMT Gold is a Mechanical Watch Phone
A cell phone to me is a technology based electronic devices that hold no collective value compares to a sentiment item like a mechanical watch. I couldn’t see any value in a blinged-out handheld covered in gold or showered in diamonds. The connection fails as soon as the next technology rolls in with a bigger LCD screen, storage space or supports a faster communication protocol.

Tokyoflash have announced another watch, and it seems the readout on the Ni is so confusing that they've actually had to annotate the LEDs.

Tokyo Flash Kisai Denshoku watch
Another day, another utterly bonkers Tokyo Flash watch. Today's wrist-mounted slab of confusion is the Kisai Denshoku, apparently inspired by the neon skylines of Tokyo, and telling the time through a series of animated light-up bars.

LG Prada II and Prada Link Bluetooth Watch launch
LG have officially launched the Prada II cellphone, as expected, and it's brought along a friend in the shape of a Bluetooth watch, the Prada Link. Like other such devices we've seen, it can show caller ID as well as preview text messages, without requiring you to whip out the handset itself (and promptly get mugged). As we've already seen, the Prada II itself is a 3G HSDPA (900/2100MHz) device with WiFi, a 3-inch capacitive WQVGA touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Tokyoflash Fire watch: more LED confusion
Esoteric watch manufacturer Tokyoflash have announced their latest bizarre timepiece, Fire. Looking a little like a wrist-mounted nutmeg grater, Fire continues Tokyoflash's tradition of demanding wearers decipher combinations of LEDs in order to figure out if it's lunchtime.

100% LED watch
Studio 100% have been showing off this new LED watch at Tokyo Design Week 2008, with hidden LEDs that shine through the gunmetal links of the bracelet. It manages to look both modern and retro at the same time, probably because of the nixie tube orange color.
