Tokyo Flash Barcode Watch
I purchased this item due to its unique design in displaying the time and for this reason it is not the most practical of watches. I intend wearing this on evenings out and I think that the watch is ideal for this purpose and it seems to be a talking point.

After pressing the button to display the time the lights in the 4 columns radomnly flash for a few seconds before displaying the time. Once the time appears it is represented by a number of lights in each column (1st column each light is a value of 5 for the hour, 2nd column a value of 1 for the hour, 3rd column a value of 10 for the minutes and 4th column a value of 1 for the minutes) so you then have to manually calculate the time in your head. This is quite easy when you get used to the system but I wouldn't recommend having too many drinks if you need to catch a train home at a certain time. The watch will also display the date and then the day using the lights in a similar manner. Between the hours of 6pm and 1am the lights on the watch randomnly flash for a couple of seconds every minute which is fine if you do not mind attracting attention but could be annoying in a cinema or similar environment. The lights do not do this during the other hours of the day purely to save battery power.

The watch itself is very solid and looks to be of good quality and it will be interesting to see how long the batteries last in the watch. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase although the delivery was somewhat delayed due to the original dispatch being opened at UPS and the watch 'removed'. Altivo were very good in their correspondence and in putting this right and I believe that they are now using the US Postal Service to ship future orders as this was not the first occurence of the problem.

Nice watch... but...
It is a well-built, cool-looking watch. However, before you buy it, make sure you look into the measurements of the watch first. It is heavy and huge! If you have big arms/wrists, then it would fit you just fine. Otherwise, you would look like a person with a home-confined cuff. It is a great watch, but not for everyone.

Functionally Unique
As the owner of two Tokyoflash watches (Barcode SS and the Fusion)I have been deeply impressed by the quality. I have only recently purchased the Barcode, but it has lived up to my expectations. With both of these watches I am constantly barraged with the comment, "nice watch." In fact my wife has heard it so many times she is starting to get a little bit perturbed when people stop me to ask about them.

The design is very unique and the "watch face" completely covers the top part of my wrist which I think adds to this watch's mystique. Both the watch and band are solid and compliment the watch face design.

I went with the multicolored LED's which I think was a good choice, but there are other LED types out there to make the watch even more unique. The watch functions are good and it only takes a short time to adapt to the time/date display.
