Tokyoflash Twitter Concept Watch Says It's Meaningless Self-Promotional Update O'Clock

Do I have the time, you ask? No! But I do know that my friend Barry just "checked in" at Denny's thanks to my Twitter update-pulling Tokyoflash concept watch. Let's go rob his house!

Now, this concept watch does tell time, but it does so in a very concept watch kind of way. Those pixelated bars in the image above represent hours, minutes and 10-minute blocks, which you can spend a few hours each day trying to decipher whenever that passing stranger on the subway asks for the time.

Or, more boringly, you could switch the watch to a mode that spells out the time and date with "words" and "numbers." [Tokyoflash via Geekologie]
