TokyoFlash Retsu

You may have heard of Tokyo Flash , but if you haven't you should have. If futuristic/retro chic is your thing - the new "Retsu" will tickle your fancy.

I have been wearing the Retsu all day and must say i'm pleasantly surprised. I found it incredibly easy to read and at 8mm thin and 40 grams i forgot i was even wearing a watch.

It comes beautifuly packaged and the instructions are clear enough. Though i did have a bit of trouble setting the time, but once its done its done.

The case is made from steel, with a vertical stripe effect and the LED's run in line with the right-edge of the strap - forming a smooth transition from one end to the other.

A press of the button sees the lights race up to the digit then trail off leaving one light reconfirming the number. This is repeated for each digit to tell the time. Think wrist mounted graphic equaliser.
It actually makes reading the time incredibly easy as your reading it one digit at a time.
The strap is black Suede for a comfortable fit and sets the silver of the case of perfectly.

TokyoFlash is currently running a Halloween special on the Retsu and other watches until the 3rd November.
The Retsu is priced at 13900 Yen which converts to about £62. Delivery is included in the price of all watches.

If you're looking for something else of a similar nature, then check out some of their other unique time pieces.

We'll be running a competition in association with Tokyo Flash to win your very own timepiece real soon. Keep your eyes peeled!
