It's a cool statistic watch for those who love it. Some people celebrate the first month or the first 100 days, why not celebrating the first 1000 minutes? It's a cool, geeky and romantic idea. I don't care much about the design, it's ok. I'm totally convinced by the concept, a mere sketch or a textual description would've been sufficient. Tokyoflash should consider to make it at a good price. It doesn’t need to make a quality statement Tim. It’s a cool statistic watch for those who love it.

You already know whether you have a good relationship or not. It's just trying to show you how much time you've spent with someone you presumably want to spend time with. If you don't want to know, then this watch isn't for you. But I think some people attach a meaning to the time they spend together, and wish they could spend more...and this watch is for them.

It says nothing about the quality of the time spent together, or the interaction between people. It's a meaningless measurement to say, "Gosh honey, we've spent 4236 hours, 43 minutes, 29 seconds within 10 feet of each other." It might simply be enough to have the watches shoot stars or hearts across the screen when they are near each other. Hers could show flying butterflies and his could show flying rocket ships when they are near each other. Something graphic and fun would be better than saying the number of hours you've been hanging around each other's general vicinity.

Yes, I think you're right that it would work well as a (Tokyoflash) phone app. Thank you for your comments, NL1! Yes, I think you’re right that it would work well as a (Tokyoflash) phone app.

More than a watch design, a simple & smart concept. If it doesn't exist yet you could make it a phone app. The visual is clear enough to see what the watch would look like, so 5*. Really good idea.

Yes, you should be able to get his/his or hers/hers, if you want. In my mind, none of the watches are specifically his or hers, you just order any two and then sync them.

I mean i don't want to have to buy a set of just his/hers. i think they should also come in his/his and hers/hers. I'm just suggesting they are able to sync maybe through IR or something to the other watch. Nooo, i was thinking i’d like to get a set of guys watches and hoping i could sync them together.

The design is a bit simple, but with the elegance of the concept, I find it quite fitting. This would definitely make a lovely anniversary/wedding present, and would be the talk of all the wife's knitting groups. 4*/y for these.

The more funnier it would be to meet such a guy/girl/stranded alien :D Since the watches would be able to detect each other, I think it's a small step to make them detectable for all models. If this pair social watch thing get more and more popular, and if the price is right, it will get more possible to meet others with such a watch... We will see. All the best for this! Good point!

It would be interesting to hear what other people think about this. I agree Eric's idea is neat, but see my response to him: TF watches probably aren't made in large enough quantities for this to be practical. Have you ever randomly encountered someone else wearing a TF watch (of any design, let alone the same design)?
