welcome to my unboxing and first look on a very different sort of unboxing set of
the kise RPM watch from tokyo flash japan so this is actually my second time
having a look at one of their watches here is the shipping container that it
arrived in there's some like packing foam and stuff but other than
that not much of interest here they shipped me two watches one of which i'm gonna
unbox now and the other one has an embargo date that we're going to have to
take a look at later so i'm going to get the camera in to come and have a close look at the
unboxing experience
so the first thing you're going to notice about tokyo flash's website it is
is it is very sort of flashy and exciting their watch designs are very
unique so to to at first glance it's very
difficult to tell the time on a tokyo flash watch because they don't have
traditional sort of hand minute hand hour hand second hand kind of thing
going on they all have sort of cool led displays so it comes with a little
manual it comes with a foamy okay just to protect the top of the
watch then the watch itself like i said this is my my second there
we go i accidentally turned it on but either way that looks cool this is my
second watch that i've encountered from them so i'm not that surprised this time
at the overall solid feel it's a stainless steel watch so
the the pricing is sort of in line with what you might expect from a stainless
steel watch so we're talking watches that cost sort of in the hundreds or
couple hundreds as opposed to watches that cost you know thousands like what
you might find in a jewelry store where they're made of gold or silver or whatever else in terms of included
accessories there's oh i just dropped something hold on i'll
be back in a moment ah there we go so there's a couple of things number one is
an included screwdriver this is actually for opening up
the charging port so you're going to want to keep that handy sort of next to
your computer or whatever else you're using to charge it it charges by usb so
you just plug in the usb port to something that provides 5 volt power
plug this into the watch and it charges and then it does come with an extra plug
just in case you do happen to lose this one i would recommend keeping it plugged
it does have a little rubber seal on it so it'll just help keep the watch
protected in event that in the event that a little bit of moisture gets on it
or whatever else the case may be so let's go ahead and take the plastic off
here so this is actually the first design from tokyo flash japan that has
been inspired by one of their fan created sort of concepts
and then brought to life by their team so i think that's really really cool
that they that they do that sort of thing and right now i'm having a little bit of trouble with this plastic wrap
which is causing me no small amount of stress because i'm trying to unbox it
and i'm not really having a lot of luck here there we go so it's just folded
around the entire wristband itself so that it doesn't get
scratched and transit you know what i'm just gonna have to do this off camera
sorry about that guys i finally got it so it's an extremely extremely shiny
finish under there which is uh
yeah very very shiny okay i hope you
guys can get a good look at that you gotta you got a good look at it okay and then the last bit of protective plastic
is here on the back of the watch where they've got their RPM RPM branding
what's it say three something what
what three atmospheres water resistant okay
cool 3.6 volt rechargeable usb rechargeable battery only cool stuff
okay so resizing resizing can be a bit of a bear with watches but i did figure
out how to do it last time they sent a watch over this one it looks like i'll have to remove about two links whenever
you're resizing a watch you want to make sure that you remove
equally from both sides so that you don't end up with the buckle sort of on
sort of the side of your wrist or anything like that the way to read the time on this watch is actually fairly
straightforward once you get the hang of it so it's logical if you think about it
this way the inner ring of leds which is actually magnified by a lens that sits
over top of them around the the stainless steel center piece that has
kind of a brushed finish can you see that okay so the inner part which would
be the shorter hand if you were to think of it in terms of watch hands is the
hours so this one right here is set right now
to one two three four five six seven eight nine
nine hours so it is nine and then the outer
ring of leds is minutes so 9 hours and 15 minutes
they're in increments of 5 5 10 15 then these guys right here that are flashing
are another incremental or any incremental minutes so the fact that
three of them are flashing means it is 9 18
at the time of reading this watch which it isn't but you can't really expect a
watch to be set to the correct time when it arrives especially if you buy it from
japan and you don't live in japan
so we're going to do give me a couple minutes here we're going to resize it and then we'll get you guys some shots
of it sort of on the on the wrist here
now the sizing process is pretty simple you can see i've already removed one
full link from one of the sides and i'm in the midst of removing another
link all you got to do is i was able to fashion myself a tool out of a paper
clip so i just use my trusty snippers to
cut a very thin piece of metal then what you do is you take that
straight thin piece of metal you line it up on the edge of a table and give it
kind of a whack now there's arrows on the inside of the wristband that
indicate which way the pins come out see the the arrows here so the pins that are
in the watch come out they only go in one way so they have kind of a ball at
the end of one of the sides so they just kind of slide in and slide out this way
so you give it a whack with something preferably smaller than
this make sure it's lined up straight pull out the pin
then you pull out your tool there we go
and which i've now bent but it's okay i can always make myself another one then
what you do is you take out these pieces that you no longer need
line the watch back up with uh hopefully you put it in the right way something to
bear in mind guys very very very important is that you don't want to take
out the very the very last link
in either on either side because it's a real bear to put those ones back
together unless you're you know you definitely need all of them out so it's always a
good idea to do a quick sort of approximation of what you think the
sizing is going to be like before you go ahead and put the links back in so i'm
just going to clip it back together here
and we'll be back in a moment
so basically this is what the watch looks like you just press the button to read the
time as we showed you guys before it only flashes for sort of a couple
moments and then it will actually turn off in order to conserve power which is
great because you gotta charge it when it runs out of power now i removed three
links at the end and i should probably take one more out it's still a little
bit loose but we uh we did sort of
put it all back together and then we're trying to film so make sure you keep the
extra links as well as the pins that you removed in a safe place thank you for
