Introducing The Samurai, a chilling blue Japanese inspired LED watch from an alternative future which gives its wearer cool omnipotence by rewriting the rules of how temporal data (time) should be displayed.
You mean this watch really tells the time? Yes. Even though The Samurai embodies Tokugawan style and Shogunate design with its soul caliber blue numerals encased in stark samurai sword steel like the final battle between all the forces of good and evil in the multiverse, this Japanese LED watch does in fact tell the time and does so really efficiently too!
Tap the top button on the right side of the timepiece and watch the screen light up like surfacing lava. Tap the bottom button to make the numbers blink and hence adjust them. In Time mode, the top row represents hour information, while the bottom row represents minutes information. In date mode, top and bottom represent month and day.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ's
Q. How do I change the time and date on this watch?
A. Press the lower button on the right side of the watch. This will cause the current setting to blink. Continue pressing the lower button until you arrive at the setting you want to change. Next, press the top button to change the information.
Q. What type of batteries does this watch use?
A. This Japanese LED watch uses a single CR2016 watch battery. Other names this type of battery goes by are button cell, silver button cell, or coin cell batteries.
Q. How long will the batteries last?
A. The batteries should last longer than with a normal watch since time and date information is only displayed when you want.
Q. Is this a Tokyo Flash watch?
A. No, it is better because it costs almost 1/15th the price of a Tokyo Flash watch.
Q. Why is this watch called The Samurai?
A. Because while it is illegal to walk around your city with a samurai sword, it is not illegal to wear a watch around town. But how can you wear a watch that embodies the same coolness as a samurai sword? Only by buying and wearing Flying Penguin's Samurai Watch my friend.
Q. I've noticed that depending on the photo, the watch looks different. Also you've listed the bracelet colour as "Camouflage Steel (Onyx)". Steel is silver. Onyx is black. Seriously, what colour is this watch?
A. That's a good question. Depending on the ambient light conditions, this watch sometimes looks gun-metal silver. Like Hellsing battling vampire hordes. At other times it looks light silver. Like coins received to betray a savior. Other times it looks almost black or deep Onyx. Like the hearts of men. The reason for The Samurai's elusive countenance is its scratch-resistant electroplated finish. This has resulted in a refractive process which breaks the light which lands on the watch into its component colors and reflects into your eye at different wavelengths. That's why it's so hard to describe the colour of this watch. Then again, if it were easy to describe how The Samurai looks, his enemies would be able join forces and defeat him. That ain't gonna happen.
