I know this was posted back on Dec. 1, but I just got here and wanted to comment on this.

Just so everyone knows, there are several instances where one may not know whether it’s morning or night without an AM/PM function on their watch. Serving on a submarine is one…living in very high latitudes (both north and south) is another…also, flying long distances across many time zones, etc. I have a watch that has a 24-hour movement just for situations like this…the hands only rotate about the face once per day.

Hellenek:

The way the “More like this” section works is that it take the last 5 reviews in that category and lists them. The Pimp Star Performer Watch review is farther down in the list. If you want to see all the reviews for a category, you can click on the category title.

Julie,
Like the review – seriously tempted to buy the watch. Is it a keeper?

I was first introduced to Tokyoflash by Judie’s review of the Pimp Star Performer Watch. Bought the black version of the watch and its my main watch. Cool cool cool!

By the way, this watch is not listed on the “More like this” section.
Cheerio,
Hellene

Too bad they went with blue LEDs. What’s with blue LEDs on *everything* these days? Apart from being novel (because “hello gentlemen, finally we can do teh blue!”) they’re the worst color in the color spectrum to use. Even in the QT demo it’s hard to see whether the 1 or the 2 is lit.

(Next to violet, blue light is the shortest wavelength and scatters the most in the atmosphere.)

I for one will be glad when the blue fad is over and we return to red, which is the *proper* color for a LED.

BTW, one of the cons listed is the lack of am/pm, but most analog watches don’t have this either. If you’re looking at your watch and you don’t know if it’s morning or night then you have a bigger problem than your watch not having am/pm!
