Jul 2 2008Telling Time With Colors: The Galaxy Watch
Well it's been a little while since we've posted some sweet time-telling gadgetry, so I figured now is as good a time as any to hit you with Tokyoflash's newest offering -- The Galaxy.
The cryptic looking display is deceptively easy to read; one touch of the upper button initiates a programmed animation of light, and then presents the time. Twelve yellow bars represent hours in a clock wise direction, eleven red bars represent groups of five minutes and four green bars show single minutes. Pressing the lower button presents the time immediately. No ordinary design, Galaxy has a modern look with futuristic style.
The Galaxy retails for ¥13,900 ($133, and free 5-day worldwide shipping) and is just the icebreaker you need to talk to that chick at the bar you've been wanting to. "Hey, wanna know the time?" "No." "But look at my watch, it's the awesome." "Oh my goodness, it is! Now do me on the pool table." Well that's the way it goes in my dream anyway. You know, the one where I wake up with a cue in my thing. You know, the around the corner thing. Back thingy. My ass, I'm talking about my ass.
Hit the jump for another picture. Oh, and I just got a couple Tokyoflash watches so expect reviews in the coming weeks -- complete with pictures of my hands and wicked scars!

I had that same watch, the line "nice shoes wanna fuck" works much better though

I like my watch more. That's kind of okay, I guess.

A watch that makes telling time more difficult than it really is?
What a brilliant idea! [/sarcasm]

You're both right. The time is different in both pictures. :)
These are fun, but really more of a novelty and not worth the price in my book.

12. I DID need a new watch... - July 3, 2008 5:13 AM
But this one looks like it will at some point throw me into an uncontrollable seizure...

Why is no one wearing that watch?

@6 More Ferengi, I thought.

SG, I can't very well intermingle if you don't first feed me a line.
I wonder who thought up this watch that's hard to read trend? Was some guy standing in the airport on day glancing at his watch thinking: You know, it's just entirely to easy to read the time off my watch. Something should be done about this. And stupid ass watches were born!

is it waterproof?
17. Uncle Eccoli - July 3, 2008 10:33 AM
@15 Agreed. It's entirely too easy to read the time off my phone to fuck with a watch at all, let alone one that's difficult to read. This stuff only exists for people to buy it to show to somebody else. "Hey, I got a new watch."

it looks star-wars-y
19. Someone Who Can Count - July 3, 2008 1:14 PM
Um ... there appear to be twelve (12) red bars, not eleven. Just sayin' ...
20. iota1 - July 3, 2008 9:26 PM
Doesn't look Klingon, looks Ferengi.
