"So in this pictured watch it is 12:59."

So it's taken me 10 minutes to count up all the blocks....now I'm 10 minutes late for the job interview where I wanted to use this watch as "a good conversation piece" to cover up the fact all my programming skills were learned at WTFU.

Tokyo Flash has been selling watches made by a few different companies that use things like blocks, lights, etc. instead of traditional numbers for some time now.
Sorry Lexon.

gwai lo, that may be true but now that type of watch is in style- Lexon is all about trendy designs. The Japanese don't care about style- in addition to all the quirky inventions all they want to do is wear Levi's and listen to Jesse and the Rippers!!!

its a good idea minus my having to hunch over my watch every time i need to tell time (assuming any of the digits are over 6).

i think if they split it into shorter rows it would be easier. but maybe its just one of those things you get used to after a bit of use.

Did you notice that there's dash marks half way up so you can tell time instantly?

What kind of conversation are people having where this is interesting? I'll stick with a watch that can actually be read.

I bought this watch at a store in S.L.O , Ca. I always have a taste for things nobody else has, and frankly this watch is one of those items. It took a few minutes to understand, but now it is a peice of cake. I can look at it and tell the time quicker than a traditional watch. It has calender, seconds, and alarm features, as well as military time mode. Aside from 1/2 these comments posted, clearly the postees are uniformed. This is a cool watch, but there are other models, from other companies, that have been around much longer. I chose this watch specifically due to its convenience to buy.
