All Hot News, Information and New Product Reviews

Regular readers will know that we’ve had somewhat of a problem with many of Tokyoflash’s latest offerings and, whilst we’re not about to do a sudden u-turn (we still think they’re becoming increasingly over gaudy and decidedly uncool, sorry), it’s budget LED wrist watches such as this offering from Dealextreme, known as the Leather Band 29-LED Dot-Matrix Fashion Wrist Watch, that at least put things into stark perspective.

Interestingly enough, it would seem that even Dealextreme really have no time for this budget LED wrist watch either as, whilst their product descriptions are well known to be sparse affairs, this particular product doesn’t even get the couple of sentences we’ve come to expect. That’s right, there’s no description at all.

That said, it’s not exactly difficult to fathom quite what this budget LED watch has to offer. It tells the time using LEDs. It displays the date (with LEDs) and (are you ready for this?) it even lets you know whether its AM or PM (with LEDs) – helpful for those semi-conscious early mornings following a particularly heavy session down the local watering hole.

Thankfully, all is not lost, as at least Dealextreme have at least been bothered to let us know the financial outlay required to own this gem of a timepiece – $9.65. Now you will ensure you form an orderly queue, won’t you? According to my view this is very unique and modern product which is easy to use and very econoimical. A lot of qualities are hidden in this product.

Like most tech related sites we’ve featured more than a few Tokyoflash watches in our time and, whilst on the whole we tend to like them (if only from a novelty factor), we simply cannot see their latest watch as being anything other than an overtly brash and somewhat insipid time telling device that, we argue, manages to push Tokyoflash’s trademark abstraction just that little bit too far.

Billed as opening a door into a new world (of pure triviality, we suggest), Tokyoflash’s Galaxy purportedly uses multi-coloured light bars developed using digital tube technology which, whilst sounding good on paper, so to speak, translates into being a watch that few of us could possibly feel confident wearing. It really is awful.

That said, if you are looking for a watch that’s the equivalent of having a fairground strapped to your wrist and is guaranteed to get you laughed at, we don’t doubt that the Tokyoflash will probably appeal. Just don’t expect anyone to think that you’re either cool or got any taste.According to my view this is very unique and modern product which is easy to use and very econoimical.
