For the Geek in All of Us: Tokyoflash Watches 4

This is the Pimpin Ain’t Easy watch by Tokyoflash. Like all Tokyoflash watches, it takes some getting used to. When the time button is pressed, the lights spiral on, then off and the time is displayed. Pressing the button again displays the day and date. What sets this watch apart, and gives it its name, is that from 6PM to 1AM the lights spiral on and then spiral off – very flashy.


The leftmost column lights display the hours, the remaining lights display the minutes. The watch on the left reads 9:21.

Pimpin Ain’t Easy is available in stainless steel or in black ion plated with blue or orange LEDs.

The Tokyoflash Star Performer watch displays the functions by lighting up the number in the column that is needed. The watch lights up one number in each column to tell the time. The watch on the right reads 14:25.

The 4 icons on top light up when the mode is selected, from left to right, the icons are Clock, Sun, $, and a Martini Glass.

The Clock icon represents the time and if it is in 12 hour mode and PM, the Martini Glass will light up also as drinking is usually done in the PM.

The Sun icon represents the Day and Date. The digits 1 to 7 on the left side are for the days.

The $ icon, represents the year. The $ sign means making more money year after year.

The Pimp mode light up function lights up all the lights in a fireworks like manner which automatically turns on at 7:00 PM and turns off at 1:00 AM.

The Star Performer is available in stainless steel or in black ion plated with white, blue or orange LEDs.

Random fact: According to the Tokyoflash site the blue LEDs are the second most expensive color, with white being the most expensive.

The blue LED was invented in Japan. The inventor was given approximately $200.00 USD for his invention. Just recently the inventor sued the company he was working for and won $200,000,000.00 USD. The company is appealing the case.
