Dec 16 2008My Wrist, It's Blinky: Tokyoflash's Latest Flash
What would a week on Geekologie be without another watch from Tokyoflash? A hot day in heaven, that's for sure. Anyway, the Tokyoflash Waku ($130) is the latest from the wily watchateers.
Waku's wrist band, uniquely positioned between the frame and LEDs, is designed like a belt and features rows of punched holes which continue through the frame to expose the bright lights beneath.
Touch Waku's button and a simple animation sparkles before the time is presented in three easy-to-read steps. Hours are shown first, one LED indicates each hour 1-12. Groups of 15 minutes are next, three LEDs indicate 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour. Finally single minutes are presented, fourteen LEDs indicating minutes 1-14. Count the LEDs in columns of 5 and reading Waku becomes really easy!
The watch comes in three different bands: brown leather, black croc-effect, and natural fur, and each is available with either single or multi-colored LEDs. That's six different options! And again, no, I don't get paid for posting these. It's called relations, folks, and I have them. Mostly with women, but sometimes (and I'm thinking last year's holiday party here) with Joel from HR dressed up as Santa.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max has a magic wristwatch that can stop time.

..."the time is presented in three easy-to-read steps" BULLSHIT.
GW must need Christmas $$ (and by Christmas $$ I of course mean beer $$)

How much are they paying you to betray us, GW?
10. Douche McAllister - December 16, 2008 12:28 PM
I don't think GW's getting paid so much as he has a f***ed up watch fetish. And yes, I ment that both ways.

It's blinky to read your watch
To read your watch
That tells the time
It's blinky!

Did I mention I was in Tokyo once, and this flasher took off his shoes and threw them at me. I managed to dodge both of them before my secret agent, code name Blinkie, was able to subdue the flasher.
Why do people always throw their shoes at me?

GW must have one of each Tokyoflash going up both arms. Do you get a free one every time you post a new watch GW? Bet you do, you'll run out of arms soon and have to use your legs and penis. Flashy light penis, pew pew! Get them to make one that shoots lasers.

@6. All I can afford is a picture of a naked spider, with a missing leg.
18. LSDiesel - December 16, 2008 1:22 PM
GW, I don't care what these other nerf-herders say.
I like the tokyo flash watches, and the first one I learn how to actually use, I'll buy it.
19. VanillaFace - December 16, 2008 1:23 PM

Fake, you can totally tell these watches are fake because they don't even have any roman numeral's.
I am reminded of a flashback sequence from the film "Ever Give Up" . In the flashback Jeff and Daryl are less than ten years old. Jeff convinces Daryl to pawn his mother's jewelery so they can afford to purchase Las Vegas tickets to give to their parents for Christmas. While searching the master bedroom they come across a size ten shoe box containing a couple of battery operated didlos. After running around the house pretending to use them as laser guns suddenly, Jeff goes, "Pew Pew!" and Daryl falls backward flinging the laser gun dildo into the air and the camera pans over to the brand used plasma screen. Suddenly Crackle! Daryl taps on the screen yet his attempt to repair is futile. Jeff says it would be good to get rid of the evidence so they pawn the dildos on eBay convincing a buyer that they are authentic light saber's used in the original Episode IV movie Star Wars. They earned like $206,000 dollars worth of seven legged spider pictures and started a t-shirt business. I am telling you guys that is one bad ass romantic comedy with a sci-fi horror twist! Short-Circuit 2, Caccoon, and Batteries Not Included don't even come close!

saw these in a magazine-explained how to read them much more clearly
hours, minutes, and seconds are all in different colors so you just count how many there are of each (min and sec by 15s)
i'd so get one if i had $200+ dollars
