Tokyoflash Japan Kisai RPM Watch Unboxing & Sizing Guide Linus Tech Tips

2012-10-30
welcome to my unboxing and first look on a very different sort of unboxing set the Keisei rpm watch from Tokyo flash Japan so this is actually my second time having a look at one of their watches here is the shipping container that it's arrived in there's some like packing foam and stuff but other than that not much of interest here they shipped me two watches one of which I'm going to unbox now and the other one has an embargo date that we're gonna have to take a look at later so I'm gonna get the camera to come in and have a close look at the unboxing so the first thing you're gonna notice about Tokyo Flash's website it is is it is very sort of flashy and exciting their watch designs are very unique so - - at first glance it's very difficult to tell the time on a Tokyo flash watch because they don't have traditional sort of hand minute-hand our hand second hand kind of thing going on they all have sort of cool LED displays so it comes with a little manual comes with a foamy okay just to protect the top of the watch then the watch itself like I said this is my second there we go I accidentally turned it on but either way that that's cool this is my second watch that I've encountered from them so I'm not that surprised this time at the overall solid feel it's a stainless steel watch so the the pricing is sort of in line with what you might expect from a stainless steel watch so we're talking watches that cost sort of in the hundreds or a couple hundreds as opposed to watches that cost you know thousands like what you might find at a jewelry store where they're made of gold or silver or whatever else in terms of included accessories there's oh I just dropped something ah there we go so there's a couple of things number one is that included screwdriver this is actually for opening up the charging port so you didn't want to keep that handy sort of next to your computer or wherever else you're using charge it at charges by USB so you just plug in the USB port to something that provides five volt power plug this into the watch and it charges and then it does come with an extra plug just in case you do happen to lose this one I would recommend keeping it plugged it does have a little rubber seal on it so it'll just help keep the watch protected an event that and the event that a little bit of moisture gets on it or whatever else the case may be so let's go ahead and take the plastic off here so this is actually the first design from tokyo flash japan that has been inspired by one of their fan created sort of concepts and then brought to life by their team so I think that's really really cool that they thought they'd do that sort of thing and right now I'm having a little bit of trouble with this plastic wrap which is causing me know a small amount of stress because I'm trying to unbox it so let's just fold it around the entire wristband itself so that it doesn't get scratched in transit you know I'm just have to do this on camera sorry about that guys I finally got it so it's an extremely extremely shiny finish under there which is yeah very very shiny okay I hope you guys can get a good look at that you got okay and then the last bit of protective plastic is here on the back of the watch where they've got their rpm rpm branding what's it's a 3d something what what three atmospheres water-resistant okay cool three point six volt rechargeable USB rechargeable battery only cool stuff okay so resizing resizing can be a bit of a bear with watches but I did figure out how to do it last time they sent a watch over this one it looks like I'll have to remove about two links whenever you're resizing the watch you want to make sure that you remove equally from both sides so that you don't end up with the buckle sort of over on sort of the side of your wrist or anything like that the way to read the time on this watch is actually fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it so it's logical if you think about it this way the inner ring of LEDs which is actually magnified by a lens that sits over top of them around the the stainless steel centerpiece it's kind of a brushed finish can you see that okay so the inner part which would be the shorter hand if you were to think of it in terms of watch hands is the ours so this one right here is set right now two one two three four five six seven eight nine nine hours so it is nine and then the outer ring of LEDs is minutes so nine hours and 15 minutes they're in increments of 5 5 10 15 then these guys right here that are flashing are another incremental or in the incremental minutes so the fact that three of them were flashing means it is 918 at the time of reading this one which it isn't but you can't really expect a watch to be set to the correct time when it arrives especially if you buy it from Japan and you don't live in Japan so we're gonna do give me a couple minutes here we're going to resize it and then we'll get you guys some shots of it sort of on the on the wrist here now the sizing process is pretty simple you can see I've already removed one full link from one of the sides and I'm in the midst of removing another link all you got to do is I was able to fashion myself a tool out of a paperclip so I just use my trusty snippers cut very thin piece of metal then what you do is you take that straight thin piece of metal you line it up on the edge of a table and give it kind of a whack now there's arrows on the inside of the wristband that indicate which way the pins come out see the the arrows here so the pins that are in the watch come out the only go in one way so they have kind of a ball at the end of one of the sides so they just kind of slide in and slide out this way so you give it a whack with something preferably smaller than this make sure it's lined up straight pull out the pin then you pull out your tool there we go and which I've now bent but it's okay I can always make myself another one then what you do is you take out these pieces that you no longer need hmm lime the watch back up with something to bear in mind guys very very very important is that you don't want to take out the very the very last link in either on either side because it's real bear to put those ones back together unless you're you know you definitely need all of us so it's always a good idea to do a quick sort of approximation of what you think the sizing is gonna be like before you go ahead and put the links back in I'm just gonna flip it back together here and look at the monitor so basically this is what the watch looks like you just press the button to read the time as we showed you guys before it only flashes for sort of a couple moments and then it will actually turn off in order to conserve power which is great because you got to charge it when it runs out of power now I removed three links at the end and I should probably take one more out it's still a little bit loose but we we did sort of put it all back together and then we're trying to don't so make sure you keep the extra links as well as the pins that you removed in a safe place thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Keisei RPM from
