These modern [LED watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-2100-series-rainbow-watch) are a great way to make sure you're always on time and fashionable from now on. Created by [Tokyo Flash Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-sandal-1), the watches display the time in changeable LED triangles. The watch can be programmed to display in 7 different colors; choose from blue, cyan, red, green, candy, violet or multi. A [full charge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-clock-1) on one of these beauties takes 3.5 hours and will last you a full month. What's even more awesome is that this design was sent to the Tokyo Flash blog by a fan and then was made into reality.

The battery can be recharged more than 300 times. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rechargeable LED Watches:** The trend of rechargeable LED watches demonstrates the potential for innovative wearables that combine function and style. - **Customizable LED Displays:** The ability to customize LED display colors on a watch could inspire innovation in other products with LED displays, such as smart home devices or vehicle dashboards. - **Crowdsourcing Design:** The success of fan-designed LED watches shows the potential for crowdsourcing design in other industries, such as fashion or product design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Watches and Jewelry:** The rechargeable LED watch trend presents an opportunity for disruption in the watch and jewelry industry, as consumers increasingly seek stylish and functional wearable technology. - **Consumer Electronics:** Customizable LED displays could inspire innovation in other consumer electronic industries, such as smart home technology or automotive technology. - **Crowdsourcing Platforms:** The success of Tokyo Flash Japan's fan-designed LED watches highlights the potential for disruption in the crowdsourcing platform industry, as consumers increasingly seek opportunities to participate in the creative process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Nixie Tube Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/btf-nixie-watch.md) - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Phosphorescent LCD Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-pro-trek-watches.md) - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md) - [Large Watch-Style Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-japan.md) - [Miniature Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwn5600-nano-ring.md) - [Stylish Durable Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-models.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md) - [Revived Quartz Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-timex-1972.md)
