I got pretty excited when I first saw the concept Tokyoflash Sudoku Puzzle watch because I used to be obsessed with Sudoku puzzles and I love watches, but it was a huge let down when I saw the puzzles on the watch which are not really challenging. The idea behind the watch is a game of Sudoku and if you want to know what time it is, you have to solve the puzzle.
At first glance the concept watch seems very complicated and you’d think you have to spend a bit of time solving the puzzle just to see what time it is. The puzzle is actually quite simple and is only missing a few numbers and those missing numbers just happen to be the numbers that correspond to current time. So if the time is 12:52:37, those numbers will be missing from the puzzle and you’d have put them in to tell what time it WAS (was because by the time you solve it, the time would have change by at least 30 seconds). See picture below on how to tell time on the Sudoku puzzle watch.
I usually like Tokyoflash watches but this one seems like more of a gimmick than their usual watches, it’s still a concept and if it doesn’t get enough votes then it won’t be produced and I’m hoping it doesn’t get enough votes :).
