Hard-To-Read Watches

The Galaxy by Tokyoflash

— July 2, 2008 — Fashion
On Trend Hunter, innovation and originality take the pedestal. In the world of watches, Tokyoflash takes design to a new level with their newest watch, the Galaxy. The watch allows you to make a fashion statement, as it precedes any other watch with its level of intelligence. You might think I am exaggerating, but wait till you read how you can tell time using this watch.

According to Tokyoflash, 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. 12 yellow bars represent hours in a clockwise direction, 11 red bars represent groups of 5 minutes and 4 green bars show single minutes. Pressing the lower button presents the time immediately. No ordinary design, Galaxy has a modern look with futuristic style. It's sold online for about $132 USD with free shipping.

It might take you some time to get used to, but imagine how impressive it would be for you to tell time instantaneously. It's like doing a math question each time. I think we all need a little extra push. If you are saying, "I just want to know the time for God's sakes", then this watch isn't for you.... You monkey!
