The World’s Smallest LED Wristwatch

I have to admit: it's an interesting design for a watch. Meet the Retsu by Saishin, retailed by Tokyo Flash as "the world's smallest LED watch." Forget digital watch faces or rotating hands: the eight millimeter thick Retsu uses a numbered band on the right side of the watch to show the time. Press a button on the side of the watch and the band of LEDs lights up once to show each part of the twelve-hour time. There's a demonstration on the Tokyo Flash site that shows the watch in action; while it's an interesting idea, it's not exactly the fastest way to get the time. Still, if you want to be all secret agent mysterious, this watch, its $125 price tag and Tokyo Flash's free world-wide shipping might be worth a look.
