I have something I need to get off my chest. I love me some watches and I think TokyoFlash has done more for the watch industry than they know, creating high-design timepieces for not much money. But when time-telling becomes painful, I worry.

From the TokyoFlash website about their new Rogue: “Once mastered, navigating the time is simple, but creates a sense of mystique to the uninformed.” Is this really what we want? To be a time lord in our own three-foot circular personal space? I think time should be shared and I don’t think a weird glowing thing on your wrist will get you the ladies. But I could be wrong.

Anyway, it’s out, it’s round, and it has lots of glowing things in it. $161.52 from TokyoFlash. Am I wrong about my feelings? Tell me off.
