The Kisai Joypad Watch is a new watch from Tokyoflash that uses flashing LEDs on a raised grid surface to tell the time. Like all Tokyoflash watches it looks incredibly intimidating at first, but unlike some of their other models, this watch is actually pretty easy to read.

The Kisai Joypad Watch still looks cool while managing to simplify the time-telling process. The face lights up the numbers of the hour whereas the minutes are indicated by the square box in the middle.
