 Pimpin ain't easy, but somebody’s gotta do it. The silver PIMP watch with bright flashing blue LEDs will catch the eye of most people. It was sent to us from Tokyo Flash in Japan and is currently available in limited numbers for purchase online. The retro style design with cubed bevels throughout the strap matches the grid-style face very nicely. This is not a cheap toy watch with cool flashy lights, this is a stylish piece of jewelery with descent craftsmanship. It has a bit of weight to it considering there are 72 blue LED lights packed into the face. Every two minutes the LEDs spin in a spiral flash, also when you press the side button to check the time it spins prior to showing you. When you press the button again while it is displaying the time it will show you the date.
My first impression when I took it out of the silver tin case was that it was a bit large for my inadequately sized wrist. I was wrong, the design of the watch with a slightly curved face allows it to wrap around nicely so it does not stand out too much. On the reverse side the word “Pimp” is engraved, along with the 3ATM Water Resistant and stainless steel back. If you are looking for an every day watch, then this is probably not a practical solution, you have to press the button every time you want to read the time, and it takes a second or so to count up the dots for the exact minutes. But if you are in the market for an eye catching piece, a nice clubbing watch to show off or something cool to match your neon blue race lights, then this is the perfect watch for you. For only 17800 YEN, (around $155 USD) you can have the 3 cm by 5.5 cm and 1 cm thick watch shipped to almost anywhere in the world.
