My husband had paid (too much) for some weird watch from Japan where it used light codes to tell you time, instead of actually telling you time-So that the great mystery of "What time is it?" would remain. He liked it a lot, and then it broke pretty quick. I was trying to find one states-side on Amazon for Christmas. This was on sale, and caught my attention as some different looking watch. I thought this was like the Japanese one, that had some special way of reading time. It arrived today, and now I feel silly. It's a normal watch, with dots instead of arms. It still looks unique. Only complaint (besides not being what I thought it was, though I won't fault them for that!) is the band seems awfully cheap for an expensive watch. I'm afraid it's going to break easily.
