But I feel as though there should be a Shikaku watch also, as it is similar to sudoku. I like it. But I feel as though there should be a Shikaku watch also, as it is similar to sudoku.

For those of you having issues with solving the puzzle it would be, like virtually any watch, simple to figure out once you owned it for awhile. This is especially true if the numbers don't shuffle or move around. It would have a standard mode where the numbers stay in a static position and a puzzle mode. Besides it could be made easy in a "standard mode": first, fourth, seventh columns always have all numbers. The second column would either have all numbers or be missing the 1 (possibly a 2 for 24 hour display), third column would be missing a digit between 1-9 or have all numbers to represent 0. That's the hour... The remaining columns would then be missing 1-9 for that digit or have all numbers for 0. Furthermore columns 5 and 7 would never miss any digit higher than a "5" since at "6" its a new minute or hour. In summation this watch could be easy and have a puzzle mode. Plus in TF scheme, at a glance would confuse most people. Good idea, but would be hard to see on a small display. 5* but also no. I like this idea although it is tough to like.

Time telling should be top-bottom in a column & left to right then. But that's a detail, Tokyoflash has to reach later. Although the time telling is easy to understand, it confused me at first too.

Except that's not how it's read... At least not in your example. It shows reading from bottom to top in the first column, and then top to bottom is the other two columns... “Read the time from left to right by identifying which number is missing from the line.”

The display would constantly change and look more arty I guess. What might be nice is different coloured backgrounds/backlights for each square which change overtime like a moodlight!

It's japanese, it's a classic, it's popular. For Sudoku fans it could be more difficult. For people who prefer >at a glance< displays, it's already too complicated. So finding a broad audience (like with more stylish, less geeky displays) is tricky. I think the seconds are too much. You already need a second to figure out a number and once you did, it's gone. You have 9 fields there. Maybe it's possible to use the 8 outer ones for time and date. Or just the four corners for time OR date. A touch screen for the answers is good. I would say, add a little stylus and make this watch a wrist game. Then noobs can learn and pro's have fun. You can train your brain and more difficult time displays are possible... I know the price would suddenly increase, but this had to be said :) First of all, if someone makes a Sudoku watch, it should be Tokyoflash. It’s japanese, it’s a classic, it’s popular.

The reveal feature is a necesity for me. The numbers maybe a little small for glasses wearers. I think a coloured backlight would add a little something. 5 stars but no I can see this really appealling to puzzle heads, its not up mys street but I do appreciate the look of the thing.
