TokyoFlash came up with a new interesting watch concept. I think it’s a little bit difficult to read the hours, you need some time to get used to it. The hours are displayed in digits as empty spaces at the center of the display. The minutes are shown by those blocks surrounding the digits, there are small markings to help you read it easier. There are 2 buttons on the watch, top and bottom. The light up function is activated when you press one of them and the other one is to setup the time. Pretty simple, yet pretty hard to read.
