For once a design which I have to say is only suited to young, and very young at that, children. If I saw it on eBay coming from China priced at around £10-£15 mark I might be tempted to get it for my youngest kid who's 11. I showed it to my 17 yr old son who just laughed! I'd have been impressed when I was 17 but I'm 55 now! Sorry, not now or ever on my wish list. I'd be embarrassed to wear it under any circumstances. First lemon from here I'd say.

Na, no go. fun for kids but won't catch me shooting the time on the wall for my friends to see. Recommended for ages 3-5 only. Beam me up Scottie!

I think if it was instead projected perpendicular to the band and angled down, so the image appeared on one's hand, it would be much more functional without loosing the excellent design.

The whole point is for it to be blank. Though, whomever came up with the idea of the rotation option to flip from projection to normal watchface, I agree that would be great if do-able. USB charging doesn't really add value to this particular design, but bluetooth functions like vibration certainly would. (More Tokyoflash watches should look like this!)

I think would look good radar signal on the cover (or real :-) May be a remote control rings, one-hand operation? Moreover, such a watch would be interested!

I have never thought of Tokyo Flash watches as practical, but very unique and stylish designs ( I want them all!). I like the slick, clean look of the solid black top (i.e. with nothing on it). I also must say to the previous poster who wanted usb charging and a bluetooth device; I highly disagree in my opinion. I find being able to replace the battery of the watch vs. buying a whole new one highly desirable. On the other hand, if this is a LED light, perhaps you could use one of the multi-color capable LEDS, so the user could change what color the time displays in (or it could rotate randomly through colors/or both).

I would personally like to see another way to read the time incorporated so that the laser time is a secondary function.

A rotation option is also a nice idea, thanks for the feedback on this. It would be quite short, maybe 10-15 cm. A rotation option is also a nice idea, thanks for the feedback on this.

Also, would be great to have an engraving of something on the surface, like a old pocket watch, or a non-working analog watch.

The bezel should totally turn, and there should be an option to display the time on the top, possibly as scifirxman described. Or maybe the watch could be made into a bluetooth watch. It could display caller ID/Call/Message on the top of the design in LEDs. (I feel like the top needs something) But the shape is cool and the concept is great. I worry about practicability, but that's kinda the great thing about Tokyflash watches. They are so strange that you can't help but love them. I was thinking the same thing.

It would also be nice if the bezel can be rotated, but from the photos, it looks like it may not be able to as there is a notch in the casing to accomodate the lens protrusion. And is this actually a laser or just a bright LED light? If it is a laser, it would be cool if it could be used as a laser pointer device as well. Add USB charging so batteries won't be needed. Another option: When the bezel is in a certain position, the time is displayed on the watch surface. rotate the bezel to another position to expose the projection lens and display the time on a surface.
