Tokyo Flash Kisai Denshoku watch

, Nov 25th 2008 Discuss [0]

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. Read The Full Story

LG Prada II and Prada Link Bluetooth Watch launch

, Nov 18th 2008 Discuss [1]

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

, Nov 11th 2008 Discuss [0]

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. Read The Full Story

100% LED watch

, Nov 10th 2008 Discuss [3]

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. Read The Full Story

I Ching Oracle Watch concept wakes you up, guides your life

, Oct 27th 2008 Discuss [1]

I'm no fortune teller, but I think this Oracle Watch concept would find plenty of buyers should it ever reach the market.  Designed by Andy Kurovets, it not only tells you the time but, using the divination principle of the I Ching, the order of chance events. Read The Full Story

DIY Open-Source Calculator Watch

, Oct 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

It says a lot about me, I suppose, but when I was younger I thought a calculator-watch was possibly the coolest thing you could have on your wrist.  Pro-electronics engineer David Jones obviously feels the same way, as he's replaced his broken Casio CFX-400 scientific calculator watch with a DIY μWatch based on a 16-bit microprocessor, two-line 16-character display and full keypad.

Day&Night watch is no timepiece

, Aug 23rd 2008 Discuss [1]

If you're looking for a new watch, the Day&Night by Romain Jerome isn't exactly going to be your first choice. It's not because it isn't cool looking. It's pretty awesome, actually. There's just one problem. It doesn't tell time. Read The Full Story

Casio G-Shock G8100A-5 goes for an antique look

, Aug 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

Just because you love the latest gadgets doesn’t mean you have to forfeit more traditional designs. And if you love antiques, you can still get that priceless look from modern tech. Case in point, the Casio G-Shock G8100A-5. This wrist watch is made from bronze-colored aluminum and has a perforated resin band, giving it a rustic appeal. Some may define it as “steampunk” but I wouldn’t quite agree with that. For me, steampunk requires gears, mechanisms, steam and other Victorian tech. Just because something looks old, doesn’t mean it’s steampunk. But I digress. Read The Full Story

Giant watch becomes a very strange table

, Jul 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

Watches are a dying breed, we have enough gadgets that we already carry anyway that we don't need to have one on our wrist. That is unless you just enjoy it as a fashion accessory. Well now you can have a watch table, just in case you're feeling a bit sentimental about your long lost watch phase. Read The Full Story

The Suunto Lumi watch comes equipped with barometer

, Jul 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

This chic little watch looks like it'd be sporting the bare minimum on extra features and is just meant to be cute. However, it actually is featuring more extras than the bulky watches usually meant for the outdoorsy types. Read The Full Story

Zihotch Retro Phone Watch speaks you the time

, Jun 19th 2008 Discuss [1]

If you're looking for a geeky watch then you could easily head straight over to Tokyoflash, who are known for their almost indecipherable LED displays.  Alternatively, Maywadenki's Zihotch Retro Phone Watch goes more classic with its design; classic rotary phone, that is.  There are no hands, no LCD or even LEDs - instead, you dial 117 to have the watch speak the time out loud to you.

Tokyoflash stainless steel S-Mode Oberon watch

, May 13th 2008 Discuss [2]

Despite the fact that they're, generally, frustratingly difficult to tell the time from, I do have a soft spot for Tokyoflash watches. One of the company's more recent designs, the Oberon, has been diving in and out of stock for a while now, but they're celebrating a return to availability with the launch of a new, stainless steel variant. The S-Mode Oberon SS uses three rings of blue LEDs to indicate date and time. Read The Full Story
