Amazon.com Product Description
Slide into our retro groove with the Retrofit watch from Tokyo Flash. This LED-matrix, time-traveling wristwatch features a stunning stainless-steel case, bezel and band with a green LED display that is angled so it easy to check the time. A press of a button activates the LED matrix, which animates across the screen to reveal the time, a second press can skip to the date. Although this watch is sci-fi inspired, it is an excellent addition to any dressy, nightlife ensemble and is sure to turn heads. It's sturdy and solid, and just heavy enough to feel like you're wearing something with a bit more brio. And since the display is slung over there's no risk of damage to the dial window even if you walk into a lamppost. The Retrofit measures 3.5 centimeters across, 4.5 centimeters long, and 1.5 centimeters thick, and features a band made of solid stainless steel (maximum wrist size 21.0 cm) with a push-button, fold-over clasp.

Customer Reviews
Nice watch there!
The watch is sturdy and fine looking. The leds are brighter than what I imagined, and that's a good thing. The leds are visible even under bright and direct sunlight. Only problem I have with this watch is that it is hard to press on the button, so if you've got your other hand busy, you can't really get the time.
Bottomline, it is a good watch, a sturdy watch, with a great style that I won't grow old of.
Soild Purchase
Honestly, I was pretty skeptical when I pulled the trigger on this purchase. Turns out to be a solid purchase. It has decent weight, the links are easy to change and the LEDs are super bright. My single complaint is a common one; you gotta have two hands to tell time, even with this digital masterpiece.
Nice looks- but may not be durable
I purchased this watch and it arrived semi-functional. When I attempted to set it, the display blacked out and it then stopped responding to any input whatsoever.
I was going to return it (very unhappily), but the manual suggested changing the battery. I took the back off and got a new battery handy, but as soon as I popped the clip on the battery, the watch started working again! I have no clue what happened.
So- the watch looks nice (if a little "chunky" - but I like chunky) and has a display that you can read in just about any situation (assuming you can read it in three seconds or less) but I am a little wary about the overall quality control.
That's why I rate it only three stars - if it had just *worked perfectly*, it would have gotten at least four stars from me, if not five.
