Great looking watch, but very cheaply made
Careful what you buy. After a little over a year, I thought my battery was dead in the watch. When I went to have the battery replaced I discovered that a flimsy metal backing that both holds the battery in place and controls watch functionality had broken off. Tokyo Flash wants to charge me almost just to replace this cheap $.05 cent part, which of course, you cant buy locally and must ship your watch to Japan for repair.
The watch case is nice, but the inside is nothing but cheap Chinese manufacturing job on the inside, "watch" out!


Very cool "futuristic" look, easy to learn to read, a little less easy to set, tho
Once set, you're good to go. Reading the watch is not a huge undertaking. Just have to get used to it a week or so.
I love the look of this watch--rectilinear and sexy in a futuristic way. The multi-colored flashing lights are great for Xmas--as it's reminiscent of tree lights. :) A fun watch. (I originally wanted the blue lights one, but this went on sale, so we got the multi-colors. And you know, I like it. It's not crazy-tacky garish as I thought it might be. It's just cheery.)
One star off in the rating for being really unbalanced. The "head" part is thick and heavy and makes the watch want to slide to the side of the wrist. If it fits snugly, it would be more stable, I guess; but this watch is too large on both me and my hubby, so we're going to need to have a jeweler shorten the metal band. Otherwise, I like it a lot.
If you have a larger wrist or wear it outside your cuff, it should be perfect. Otherwise, expect to have it loose or shortened to fit.

Meh.
I'm kind of apathetic about this watch. I bought it as a gift, and the box it came in was scuffed and banged-up, and looked like it had been dropped a few too many times. Also, Amazon forgot to put in my gift card, so that was a bummer - but I can't get mad at TokyoFlash for that (I DO blame them for the box, though).
The watch isn't as big or heavy as I thought it would be. Also, the lights aren't as bright as I had hoped. When I gave the watch to the intended recipient, he smiled politely and said, "Oh. Cool." Which about sums it up. It's cool, but it's really nothing to get too excited about. It's like the Toby Macguire of watches - it's good-looking from certain angles, but ultimately boring and forgettable.
