Unboxing Live 037: TokyoFlash Pimpin Ain’t Easy watch

Posted by Andru Edwards
Categories: Accessories, Clothing, Features, Videocasts


If there’s one thing we like about Japan, it’s how their wicked cool technology meshes with their interesting pop culture preferences. We think the Pimpin Ain’t Easy watch from TokyoFlash fits into that category. In fact, just about every TokyoFlash watch meets that criteria. They go out of their way to come up with some of the most interesting ways of telling time that we’ve seen. In this episode, we give you the rundown on the Pimpin Ain’t Easy watch. It features 72 lights, which make it nice and bright. The time is read by reading the hours on the left hand side, and the minutes on the right. It takes a little getting used to, but it’s definitely an attention-grabber.

    TokyoFlash was really creative with the naming and the concept of this watch.  It looks like a cool gadget to have—for a GEEK!  It looks nice, but I still prefer my digital watch.  It’s easier to read!  :D

    I have to agree with the previous 2 comments, cool technology, but the function of it leaves a little to be desired. I don’t even carry a watch anymore, I just use my cellphone.

    It looks like you need to press it every few seconds to display the time.

    There was this special watch display I read a few years ago. It displayed time in code and you needed to decipher it. Forgot what it was called >_< But still, that watch is for the REAL geeks raspberry

    I still don’t like my cellphone. It’s useful but I think we have become social networking addicts. A watch still serves its function smile

    Argh, should’ve waited to post!
    Btw, TokyoFlash uses the Mugen LCD display if anyone’s interested. Link here http://www.uberreview.com/2007/03/mugen-lcd-watch-spirals-to-display-time.htm

    The watch I was talking about was binary. OK, maybe not code, but still. Pretty cool since I love binary wink Look here for info on binary watches http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/giftsforhim/6a17/

    Strange watch, Analogue or digital watches are far better than this.

    The idea is strange, it could be only used in case you have a party and want to attract some chicks :D !

    Based on the name alone this thing is cooler than any other watch I’ve seen.  If I wore a watch, this would be it.

    I watched this last night on the iTunes podcast—this is a really cool watch!  maybe a little bit on the nerdy side, and yeah it might be a little more difficult to tell the time, but what geek wouldnt want it wink

    i love the things japan come out with, for some reason most of the time they seem to be the most visually creative with their products
