welcome to my unboxing and first look at the kai maze from Tokyo flash Japan this
0:05
is another watch that we're checking out this is actually the third one that I've
0:08
had the opportunity to experience the shipping container it came in was one of
0:13
these and I guess if you order I guess lots of people probably order multiple
0:16
watches CU it had two of them in it like this and they were packed in sort of
0:20
really nicely but uh yeah they've got a lot of different
0:25
Unique Designs their website's actually behind me so you can you can check them
0:28
out Tokyo flash Japan comes with a little manual that shows
0:32
you how to use all the different functionality of the watch itself so
0:36
this one is actually pretty unique in that it has here I'm just going to take
0:41
it right out so it's got a nice soft foam packaging inside it has a display
0:45
that is at first glance and honestly at my second and third glance but uh the
0:52
the claim from what I've heard so far it becomes more apparent the more you use
0:55
it so I'm going to go ahead and put that aside for now at first glance is very
1:00
difficult to read and once you get more experience with it becomes easier so
1:05
here's the display itself we'll do a closeup for this don't worry um and you
1:09
can see that it's very very difficult to read now when I press the button right
1:14
here it actually reveals exactly what
1:17
time it was so here we go so you can
1:20
cycle through a variety of different modes here that show you the time
1:24
concealed among a a maze that you can actually have a little animated block
1:28
sort of run around inside like like an arcade style video game like Pac-Man or
1:32
something on your watch then you press it to reveal exactly the time if you
1:36
don't want to fuss with it press it one more time to show you the month and the
1:40
date and then one more time
1:43
to the heck is off mode oh to adjust the alarm sorry my
1:48
bad let's take a quick look at the manual together before we get any
1:52
further there's only really two buttons on the watch so button a has the
1:55
functionality of turning on the E backlight this watch unlike the ones
2:00
that I've seen in the past does not have
2:03
a USB charging port and it actually is
2:07
always illuminated so you can read it um
2:10
without turning it on to read it so for example I've got another one behind me
2:14
here that you have to turn on to see the time this one you can read the time on
2:18
it at any moment and then in the dark you just press the button here to
2:22
illuminate the display with kind of like an eerie eel greeny Blacky sort of
2:26
backlight that looks kind of neat so the manual gives you all the instructions
2:30
how to check the alarm time how to read the date how to set the time and then on
2:34
the other side how to set the date how to set the alarm and random user
2:38
information oh it just tells you the battery lasts about a year to maximize
2:42
battery life you should limit the use of the El backlight because like any watch
2:46
that drains the battery a lot faster than other things it's available in a
2:50
variety of colors so there's a blue red green or mirror SL black uh background
2:55
for The Maze itself and then the watch wrist strap is available the wrist trap
3:00
and the frame of the watch itself is available in this brushed black
3:04
stainless finish or a brushed silver
3:08
finish that uh that both look and actually you can see on the screen behind me there's a silver one with a
3:12
red screen there's a silver one with a black screen and then there's a black
3:15
one with a red screen the one I have is black with blue so guys if you want to
3:21
see how to resize the watch you can actually check out my unboxing that I
3:24
already did of the kai RPM so that one I
3:28
show the whole procedure it's a bit of a bear but as long as you've got the right
3:31
tools handy even you know just like a paper clip or whatever else it's really
3:35
not that hard you can also get a jeweler to do it a watch unboxing wouldn't be
3:39
complete without some shots of the watch on a wrist I had to remove Three Links
3:43
from this one to get it to fit right which means this one's a little bit
3:47
smaller than the RPM which I had to remove four links from to get it to be
3:51
the right size for my wrist in terms of setting things up it's actually pretty
3:55
straightforward you hold down the top button in order to set the time so I've
3:59
already got it said it's 459 right now you press this button to change the
4:03
settings so I'm just going to go ahead and set that back to the correct time
4:08
4:00 you press it again to change to minutes press it again to see the
4:11
adorable little animation of the little guy running around the side of the maze
4:15
the top button also enables the illumination which isn't that useful
4:18
during the day you really can't even tell the difference but it is intended
4:21
for use at night where it works very effectively thank you for checking out
