hey this is Dimitri with her broken accent today we're taking a look at an interesting watch from a company tokyo flash their slogan is to redefined where you think about time and that clearly shows through the selection of multiple different and very complicated watch faces now one cool aspect about these models is then they're totally unique in form of design the concept art is presented and the fans cast their votes so what we have here is watch from Kisai series called on air which is actually one of the most popular design choices one thing I was very surprised to find for watch like that to go for $200 considering it's not a smart watch but perhaps its touch in the face may change my mind so let's check it out the build quality on the actual watch is pretty solid with stainless steel frame and clean brown design that sort of hides its complexity the glass remains scratch free even though I've hit it a couple of times but it's the steel wristband that doesn't impress me the tusks are flimsy it's got a lot of play between the links and the locking mechanism is also just mediocre requiring additional force to be properly locked in place so this was not at all what I was expecting for the $200 and before we get into any features are you able to tell the time from this watch right now I know it's a little confusing but the hour-hand position represents the actual hour and the numbers that make up the hour hand are the minutes so the numbers are quite wide it's a little difficult in the beginning but once you realize that those are numbers it's pretty simple to tell time so this one here tells us it's 11:18 a.m. while this shows 542 p.m. now might be fun to ask your friends to guess the time but for the week award the watch it was actually quite difficult telling the minutes by quickly glancing at the watch the contrast between the hour clock and the background isn't much so you always have to find the right angle to see the numbers correctly there is a backlight which is blue it actually makes it more difficult to see what time it is so I wasn't really impressed now the LCD does incorporate four touch sensor areas that individually controlled backlight date time and alarm you so I've left the right to unlock to watch and then presented with these pop top icons to set the date you hold the date icon for three seconds and use a circular motion to adjust a month that will be told by the location of the hour clock and the numbers inside to tell you the date you change the date the same way with the circular motion and the same goes for adjusting time of the watch to set the alarm you hold the alarm icon for three seconds adjust the hour and then there's a semicircle in the middle when it's on top that's your p.m. and once at the bottom its a.m. and you set the alarm time the same way as before it's not the most convenient that's not the easiest and certainly the 14 page manual that definitely came in handy but my main issue with the Kasai on air is its touch interface it doesn't always work and requires variable pressures and different zones that I found kind of strange there is sound feedback that can be turned off certainly a useful feature knowing when something is registered but aside from that it's not seamless navigation and time reading as I was sort of expecting now I can appreciate the uniqueness of this watch meaning there's a limited number of this exact watch that will be produced but everything else about this watch contradicts its $200 price from the mediocre wristbands and the clamp to poor backlight and very uncomfortable touch interface it's very difficult to tell time not because of how the time is displayed but because the contrast is so low between the hour hand and the background that makes it quite hard to distinguish so the value is extremely difficult to justify but what do you guys think of this concept of complicated time is it cool and would you ever get one let us know in the comments below don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you in the next one
