It’s The Holidays: We’re Giving Away A Tokyoflash Kisai Sensai Pure Watch!

By David Ponce

It’s the Holidays so of course here at OhGizmo! this means giving back to you, our readers, at least a tiny sliver of the joy you give us with your patronage. We try to do this in the form of giveaways, and we’ve sure had a few so far: the EOS Mixtape Watch (now closed), the Windows Phone 7 (now closed) and the TiVo Premiere (still open, so go comment!). We’re adding one more to that list with the Kisai Sensai Pure watch from Tokyoflash, in black on black.

As any self-respecting geek should, we have a serious love affair with these watches and believe that a line from Wired UK magazine captures their essence quite eloquently: “Tokyoflash has made being obtuse into an art form.” Indeed. So read the rules (they’re always changing a little) and enter for your chance to win!

Rules: 1) Open worldwide!! 2) Leave a comment on this post, but please make it longer than 25 characters (it’ll make your editor happy…). 3) Comments will be closed on December 25 at 11:59pm EST.

Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Happy Holidays!

    This is a fantastic idea – anyone with experience in reading these… unconventional watch displays? I imagine you'd get used to it after a while, like anything – either way, it's a seriously cool piece of wrist bling.

    Can has?

  • ryanj983

    Despite the fact that I have no clue how to read this watch, I would love to own it. I've owned some peculiar watches, and this one would be great to add to that. The looks you get when wearing somethng like this are pure gold.

  • bbxl

    I've been enamored of many TokyoFlash watches for years. This would be a wonderful start to a collection of their fine examples.

    ~When I stumbled across this post I thought about what It would be like to win one of these contests. I imagined receiving this in the mail, and opening it up. Wearing this out and witnessing my friends reaction when I tell the time with my weird but totally appropriate Kisai Sensai Pure Watch. You'd make my holidays so much better. :S

  • PhilipYappy

    Agreed, and I too need a girlfriend :D

  • PhilipYappy

    Yes, I understand, I feel your pain. Too often competitions exclude us foreigners.

    I don't know if a Tokyoflash is a particularly useful watch, but it does look so purdy…

    Watch, watch, you are so neat. Let me win you, i will feel complete.
    I wish to give it to my man-friend. Because it is the coolest new trend!
    Fancy and futuristic, pleasing to the eye. Everyone should wear one, even Bill Nye!

    I'm not a geek. I won't claim to be a nerd. Sure, I've been living at my parents' house playing GT5 in their basement for the past few weeks. But what I really need are friends. You see, I spent the summer bicycling across the country (hint: this country has 10 provinces and is wider than the United States) by myself. I hardly spoke to a soul (possibly because of body odour, or the crazed look of a scraggly bearded, dehydrated nut ball). My only human contact some days was texting a friend to let him post my whereabouts on my blog so my family still knew I was alive. And now I'm moving to the other side of the country, away from my family, and away from my texting friend. Had I had a watch like this on my trip, I might have been fed on the side of the road more. Maybe I would have even spoken to a young woman! But we'll never know that becaue it's in the past.
    I'm not going to die if I don't win this contest. But I never have a friend. What better way to make friends is there than to have a sweet time-piece like this strapped to my wrist? And this way, when I move 4000 miles away, I might be able to have more friends than that one text messaging friend and my grandma (who said I can call her collect!).

    I'm not even sure what 25 characters would look like, but hopefully this is enough.

    Watches are the best.

    I hope to win one.

    Nice Haiku. Culturally appropriate.

    Yeah that'll look good on my wrist.

  • Loramora

    Very cool watch… I would definitely like it!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KI4SZNAXVN2XQF4CAKRLNCTFFQ UlyssesC

    I do have to admit I love all the watches that tokyo flash comes out with, real unique. I would say its as nice as the mixtape watch. Its not to hard to tell the time either from what I see and the band is sleek to make it look like its once piece. :)

    this watch is totally rad, it will replace my casio databank that the strap just broke on if i win it, im strange, i forget theres a clock on my phone constantly and turn to a real hardware watch when i want the time.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1005856571 Ziyed Manoubi

    I'd love to have it, normally i can't enter any contests because i'm from belgium (europe) but this time it's worldwide :)

    This is the King of Geeks Watch.

    The first super power it gives to his bearer is “time keeper”. No one around you will ever know what time it is using this watch, except you!

    The second super power, you can claim that you have been inside Tron and this watch is proves you beat the game.

    The final super power, all geek will be under you power since is the one. It is say in the ancient script:

    One watch to rule them all, One watch to find them,
    One watch to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
    In the Land of the matrix where the Shadows lie.

  • http://twitter.com/IndiaGreen India Green

    Ooh I love this watch! When people ask me the time I can say “time for you to get a watch as rad as mine!”

  • http://twitter.com/robgreen78 Rob Green

    Finally a international competition that I can enter…
    And if I win, then I have all that shipping time to work out how the watch *actually* works :D
