Summary: band problem...NOT a problem if you can measure your wrist!
Comment: I found this watch and was pretty impressed with the look, the high tech gadgetry and the artsy look about it and then, I read the reviews, all the reviews.
I found myself torn between buy or do not buy as there was so much negative about the band. After thinking it over for several days I looked at it one more time and scrolled down and low and behold I found where the BAND MEASURED 19.5 CENTIMETERS. My dilemma was over. I got a tape measure and measured my wrist, fit well within the 19.5 centimeters and it was a done deal, I bought it!
Now, I love it. Its design is masculine, its a definite conversation piece (no way around it) and its look is like nothing else I have seen in a watch. I can wear it with casual wear and can wear it with more formal wear, no problem. Once you get the hang of how it works, it is easy to tell the time and actually is fun to teach others at a gathering.
So, IF your wrist is smaller than 19.5 centimeters by a couple (2) inches you will have no problem with this watch. The directions are clear and concise and its design, flawless. For a guy that is looking for a cutting edge timepiece, THIS IS IT without question. IF you are that guy and your wrist is too large, buy it and have a different band put on it (wow, I never thought of that!). It is not that expensive to have a nice watch band put on a watch. The watch is comfortable to wear and the time has been quite accurate thus far. It's one of those, 'why didn't I think of that?' for your timepiece collection. The price is right too!
A must have for the guru gadget kinda dude (definitely NOT a ladies timepiece as the face is too large). You WILL NOT be disappointed and to those that were, well sorry you were unable to read as the length is under product information in BLACK AND WHITE!!!

Summary: NEVER BUY THIS WATCH!
Comment: I got the "Tokyo Flash - Twelve 5-9 L Version ( Silver + White LED )" watch and lost $120. Information on Amazon is missleading, the watch is not 30 Meters Water Resistant. The manufacturer's note on the waranty turns out to be "Showers should not be taken by this watch".
I communicated that back to Amazon, and received very disappointing responses! First bad experience with Amazon and worst of all.
Conclusion is NEVER BUY THIS WATCH, never get any of the Tokyo Flash Watches, and Think twice before you get a watch from Amazon!

Summary: Sweet Watch
Comment: I lover this watch. Finally a watch that fits my wrist! I will have to say don't buy this watch if you have a big wrist because the watch band is leather and not very big but for me it fits good. The stitching on the band is real nice too. This is a well made watch and I was not disappointed when it arrived. I read reviews first and saw where the band was small for some people. I can't wear a lot of metal either because it breaks me out so the leather band was a nice feature. The LCD lights are bright enough to see during the day and even in sunlight. I could not buy this from tokyoflash.com because they did not have the blue one I wanted. It comes in red, blue or green. Really nice watch for a ladys wrist.

Summary: It Gets Attention Everywhere!
Comment: I purchased this for my boyfriend and he loves it. Anywhere he goes people ask him about it, and he loves showing them how it works. Not too difficult to read, you get used to it very quickly. Band size seems fine. True the LED's don't stay on all the time, but it's simple to just press the button.

Summary: Looks cool...but that's where the coolness ends
Comment: This watch looks the part of a cool high tech gadget but when I recieved it, I was sorely disappointed. I don't have big wrists but when I put it on, it was barely big enough for me. The other problem is the LED lights don't stay lit all the time. Adding to that problem is a button must be pushed on the watch to get them to light up to tell you the time. One push makes the lights dance around for a few seconds and then the time appears. Pushing it twice in rapid succession makes the time appear without the wasting dance of lights. Who wants to be obligated to hit a button twice just to see the time? Great concept, cool look, NO function. I returned it the same day.

The B Version wristwatch from the Twelve 5-9 design team at Tokyo Flash is a retro-inspired, sci-fi accessory timepiece that is perfect for men or women. The 12 lights on the left in the circle represent hours, on the bottom there are five lights that represent minutes in units of ten, and the top bar features nine lights that represent the minutes in between. When you press the button to show the time, the lights move around the circle and across the bars in a malfunctioning manner that harkens back to a KITT car (only blue) gone awry. The B version measures 4.4 centimeters across, 1.9 centimeters long, and 1.3 centimeters thick, and features a leather band with contrast stitching (maximum wrist size 19.5 cm) and a traditional buckle clasp.
