Shinshoku Watch

Shinshoku’s solid, continuous stainless steel band wraps comfortably around your wrist and features a matrix of punched-out holes with twenty-nine super-bright LEDs beneath the surface which illuminate to present the time.

There are two models available — black strap with multicolored LEDs and clear strap with multicolored LEDs.

A single touch of the upper button animates the LEDs, which then cascade across the band presenting the time.

Pressing the lower button skips this animation and presents the time immediately.

Twelve red LEDs indicate the hour; three green LEDs indicate 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour; and fourteen yellow LEDs indicate single minutes.

This unique time-telling method makes it easy to see the approximate time quickly, whether it’s quarter past, half past or quarter to the hour, whilst also telling the precise time.

Subtle etched markings on the strap allow you to distinguish easily between hours and minutes — however, with multi-colored LEDs this design is really easy to read, especially at night!

Shinshoku has a strap which is easily self-adjustable to fit your wrist and fits wrist sizes of up to 8.5 inches (225 mm).
