A while ago this interesting LED watch was being displayed as a concept in Japan. I talked about it here in my excitement. Myself, and many others got really excited at the concept - though it had a few questionable characteristics that seemed to keep it from being practical. The big issue being power consumption, that I did of course mention. 100% even did exactly what I suggested they do, and that is display the time "on demand." This way you can maximize battery life by only displaying the LED lights when you want to see them (by pressing some button most likely) - saving battery life. Not sure where the button is going to be placed though.
What is so cool about the design is that it is not really a watch, but a bracelet - one that has a hidden display for the time. The concept was very cool and I am happy that it will be available for sale soon. There has been no date announced yet but it should be within the next few months. Prices will likely be $400 and under given its electronic quartz movement and Chinese construction. So neat to see exciting concepts come to life. Thanks again Japan (and 100%)!

I remember reading about it in your first review and went so far as to tr and contact 100 Design Firm. I believe at the time I received a response that it was to remain a concept watch. This is excitiing news;even for someone like myself who’s entire collection s comosed of 95% auto or mechanical watches.
Thanks Ariel for the update and I’m sure you’ll keep us posted upon future news on availabilty.
