WANT!!
(if this design ever materializes with a decent price, of course)
wow :d that would be awesome!
That is sweet, however I'm sure battery management would be a pain.
Wow! Who cares about battery life? That would be an AWESOME watch!
I'd say it's the most impractical watch I've ever seen because you'd need two hands to tell the time. Apart from that...
only need 2 hands to activate the plasma, time still readable otherwise.
Honestly I don't see it working, purely just an idea at this stage.
All their watches are cutting edge and cool. They are also almost all LED and require 2 hands to read.
That one is awesome!
Maybe there's some smart cookie out there who can write an app to give a plasma effect when you touch the screen on your iPhone/Samsung/HTC/Nexus - probably cheaper than the watch and you can still impress your chums.
USB rechargeable too, so battery management not an issue! No idea the price, though. How long will it take the Chinese to clone it and show up on DX like all the other Tokyoflash watches? :)
