Tokyoflash Tron watch

Wednesday, February 8, 2012



"Out there is a new world! Out there is our victory! Out there is our destiny! "
[Tron legacy Movie]


I wanted a New modern Led watch to remplace my older Diesel Led watch
Tokyoflash Japan was my best bet since they made High-tech Led watches
In 2011 I finaly found the Watch of my dreams Kisai Seven
The watch is the limited edition watch from Tron Legacy
Since demand was so high I had to wait until 2012 to get my hands on one.
This is probaly the most futuristic watch Ever made

Tokyoflash Japan are stylish, high-tech quality watches with a futuristic look
They mainly oriented toward design and has a unique way to read time.
More than a Watch is a pieze of Art that show you the time.
Each watch are individual designed and are limited editions
The watches are so expensive they cannot sell wholesale
They want to stay Exclusive and Limited so you have to get them
Directly from Tokyoflash website in Japan
That's what I did.

Tokyoflash Make watches after custumber demands
On their BLOG concept and dreams is voted for creating reality.

Upon visiting their Website I found many watches I liked
but one Watch realy catched my attention The amazing Kisai seven
This watch is like taken out of Tron Legacy movie




It comes in Blue or White (is a pity you can't get it in Red)
I ordered the blue one that was very limited and sold out fast in 2011.

Billing is only by Credit card, shipping is with Ems or Fedex
I had mine shipped with Fedex

The watch has Two pulsating rings of light
The inner ring for the hour and outeer ring for the minute (in 5 min interval)
the light around the twist tell the exact minute.
There is no Seconds,Date or alarm on the watch.



As with All Led watches You Press the Button to light up the watch
But you can also make the light pulsate forever so you don't need to press button
Until now you had to press a button to light up Led watches
this is because LED use a lot of battery.

Tokyoflash has solved this by using a strong rechargable battery
The watch is so cool it can let the light stay on until battery run out
but if you do battery will run out pretty quick in 3-5 hours.
but is a Nice option to have if you wear you watch on a party.
Kisai Seven might be the first watch ever where Light can Always stay on.




The watch has 4 Display option:
- Continuous: Watch light pulsate and stays on until battery run out
- Every 30 seconds: Light up once every 30 seconds to show time
- Every 5 minuts: Light up every 5 minuts to show time.
- Always OFF press button to light up breifly to show time.

I find the Always OFF (press button) and Continuous best
For a short evning/night trip Always on is perfect
For day Always OFF is better
5 Minute option is useless nobody sit and wait 5 minute for the watch to show time

Charging the battery is Easy take out the screw and plug USB cable into the hole
then plug it into your PC or a wall charger.

I think it was a bad idea Tokyoflash used a screw mechanism
to cover the USB charge hole
instead a plastic flip cover like mobiles would be better
is a bit time consuming to always take out the screw to charge the clock battery.




If you want to make the watch glow nonstop for 10 hours
then you have to charge it 2-3 times during a day
for that day only just leave the screw out
But else is recomended to put back the screw to avoid dust get into the watch.

The Watch strap is one-size thick plastic
that use buckle instead of holes, the size is very big
So you probaly have to cut the strap to fit arm.





WARNING:
Don't Cut the watch strap yourself
Go to a Watch shop or jeweler they do it in 1 minute for a cheap price.
The instruction booklet however tell you how to do it step by step yourself
But the way is explained it look complicated for many
So Just go to a Clock shop instead and they adjust the strap instantly and easy.

So Don't worry about the Strap cutting just take it to a Good Jeweler
they know what to do with it :)

All in all The Kisai Seven is the perfect watch
if you looking for something different and like futuristic designs.
for the price of nearly 140 Dollar is defently worth the price.

Kevin Flynn: The Grid. A digital frontier.
I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer.
What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways?
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...

Sam Flynn: You got in.
Kevin Flynn: That's right, man. I got in.
[From the Movie Tron Legacy]
