If you're interested in Japanese history you'll probably know about the ancient samurai warriors. They aren't walking around these days, but this fantastic LED watch is based on the suit they used to wear. It basically looks like a linked chain that would have been used as armor, but if you look in between the gaps you will see LED lights that display the time. It is a watch that doesn't look anything like a watch but instead looks like a bracelet.
Jawbone Up
