An Alternative to Rolex?

Tokyoflash have a bit of a reputation for producing ‘geeky’ watches. Fun to wear, their bright LED designs often have unusual and interesting mechanisms for telling the time. There is a new collection of watches available now however from Tokyoflash that have moved away from this previous design, towards a more functional and stylish look. The Independent Series as it is known include a selection of designs that offer a look that is not totally dissimilar to a Rolex.

A Rolex is a coveted watch - the style and expense makes the watch not only attractive to look at, but an effective symbol of wealth and success. Alas, not everyone can afford a Rolex, so why not instead look for a cheaper alternative? A cool design, elegant look and extremely high fashion trend can be found not just with a Rolex, but also amongst the Tokyoflash Independent collection of 2009. If you are looking for a sophisticated, attractive watch that makes a statement, and yet can’t afford a Rolex then one from the Tokyoflash Independent collection could be just the ticket.

Here at ZG Watches we have a whole supply of Tokyoflash watches available. As purely an online operator, we have no overheads that a traditional shop has which allows us to pass our savings on to our customers.

LED Watches

There was a trend away from the LED watch for many years, however with some new offerings from various watchmakers, they are beginning to make a comeback all across Britain.

01 The One watches are extremely nice too look at and have a very funky and futuristic look to them. We are very big fans at ZG watches and in fact stock so many that we are within reach of becoming the company with the largest selection online in the whole of the UK.

LED watches aren’t really a new concept and they have in fact been around for a while, however, being accompanied by large price tags meant that they were not generally a viable option for that many people. This has all changed however as you can now buy an LED watch similar to one from the 01 The One range for under £100.

We particularly like the brand new Ibiza Ride LED watch that has a unique system for telling the time - you look for the numbers that are lit up on the display! This is quite a large watch which may or may not be an advantage. It all depends on whether you want your watch to stand out in a crowd; The Ibiza Ride will certainly do that.

Part of the same range, there are quite a few binary watches. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to use this method for telling time, they all come with instructions so it won’t take long to pick it up. The very futuristic styles of all the LED watches make them really stand out. We think they are super funky, but others think that they are a bit bulky and too non-traditional.

Who thinks that futuristic LED watches are an exciting twist on a classic time piece, or who thinks they are just clunky and a step too far? Send in your thoughts and comments below.
