Another day, another crazy watch from TokyoFlash. This one is the Tibida with a binary and digital time readout that is actually cool.

See, this thing shows time in binary and standard formats. The binary mode is a little hard to grasp but the numeric mode is genius. In most cases, the top LEDs show the hour and the bottom set shows the minutes in Arabic numerals. There is also a date display and a set of tiny LEDs that tell you what mode you’re in. Effective and sexy, clearly.

It’s about $120 and comes in multiple colors. Overkill? Sure, but it’s the kind of overkill we like.
