As for the fun part and how the watch works, 27 multi-colored LEDs pulsate and move like cells to present the time from beneath the [mirrored mineral crystal lens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anoma-a1-optical). It's all about colors: 12 red LEDs indicate hours, 11 yellow LEDs represent the progression of time in units of five minutes and 4 green LEDs show single minutes. When you do not care about what time it is, click on the upper button to animate the LEDs and have a funky flashy light show on your wrist. A touch of the lower button instantly shows the time.
