A press of the button sends the watch into scan mode and the various panels & readouts animate as if scanning the area for life forms. After a few seconds the results display the time, but the animation sequence can be skipped if desired with a second press of the button.
At the top of the screen the red and white DNA helix is made of 12 bars and indicates the hour. At the bottom of the watch, the blue blocks indicate 5-minutes each, while each green block represents 1-minute. There are also indicators for AM/PM and seconds. The watch above reads 7:34 (I think).

At first it seems impossible to tell the time, but once you understand how it works it's fairly simple. Within a few days of using it you can tell the time just as fast as a traditional wrist watch. The time reads 12:37.
The LCD display is mirrored with blue tinted segments. Since the display is "always on" there is no need to push a button to see the time.
This watch also has an animation feature. Once a minute, the display spirals all the way off & all the way on, then settles back onto the current time. Since this is not a LED light effect, it does not drain battery power nor is it too distracting.

This watch may be a bit simpler to read that other Tokyoflash designs, but it is no less neat.
