# Easy-On LED Timepieces The Ritmo Mundo Reflex is Slap Band-Inspired By Michael Hines | Published 2012-09-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritmo-mundo-reflex References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/ritmo-mundo-reflex-watch/23831/) & [ritmomundo](http://www.ritmomundo.com/) The [Ritmo Mundo Reflex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegasus-sapphire) is a modern watch with [retro styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech) reminiscent of Slap Bands. Those who were children in the 80s and 90s will remember Slap Bands as the colorful wristbands that required a violent slap on the wrist in order to be properly applied. Ritmo Mundo's watch doesn't require you to slap it onto your wrist in order to wear it, but the company doesn't exactly discourage it either. The Ritmo Mundo Reflex tells time using [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwn5600-nano-ring). The hours are on the left side of the band and the minutes are on the right side. The watch is made out of silicone, and is waterproof up to 33 feet. The Reflex comes in 13 different colors and is available now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Slap Band-inspired LED Watches:** The new trend in LED watches is to incorporate retro styling reminiscent of slap bands, combining nostalgia with modern technology. - **Waterproof LED Timepieces:** A new trend in LED watches is to offer waterproof designs, providing both style and functionality for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Fashion-forward LED Watches:** The latest trend in LED watches incorporates fashion-forward designs with LED technology, creating stylish yet functional accessories for everyday wear. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the trend of incorporating LED technology into their designs, creating innovative and trendy accessories for consumers. - **Outdoor Gear:** Outdoor gear companies can benefit from incorporating waterproof LED watches into their product lines, offering durable and stylish timepieces for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Technology:** Technology companies can expand into the watch industry by incorporating LED technology and other innovative features into their timepieces, disrupting the traditional watch market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transparent Luxury Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegasus-sapphire.md) - [90s Rave-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dsruptor-watch.md) - [Futuristic Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida.md) - [Self-Referential Watch Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-urban-pop.md) - [Robotic-Themed Retro Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airo-led.md) - [Haute Fashion Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-x-mm6-maison-margiela-collection.md) - [Featherlight Feminine Sports Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amitron-pulse.md) - [Bold-Colored Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colors-of-joy-collection.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md)
