"hey, what's the time?" - "uhh, 3 red lights and a green one. beats me."]]>Feb 3rd 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/
At the bottom you have the same arangement, except the top of the diamond is :00 minutes, then the right side is :15, buttom is :30 and the left is :45. The two lights in the middle of the diamon show 5 minute increments and in the center of the watch between the two diamonds are 4 lights with 1 minute increments. So if bottom of the diamond and 3lights in the middle of the watch are lit it would be :33 after the hour.

Hope that makes some more sense... the description on the article here isn't that good :)]]>Feb 3rd 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/

HOW TO READ THE TIME:
1. Stare at LEDs on watch for 2 minutes.
2. Pull out cell phone from holster, pocket, etc.
3. Read time on cell phone.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/Feb 3rd 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/The first two times I believe are 9:37 and 9:43 respectively. The 12H LED is not lit, just the 9H LED.

It's a cool watch, I'd wear one.

So the 12 hour indicator is probably used to distinguish between AM / PM. In this case it's 1:37AM, if the 12 was lit, it would be 1:37PM (1337 if you will).]]>Feb 3rd 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/
Think of it as three displays. The top and bottom displays are a led representation of a round clock face
12
9 X X 3
6
the light can either be on at 12/3/6/9

Since there aren't LED Lights for times in between, like between 12 and 3, the two LEDs in the middle will show the number of to add.
So for each middle light on the upper display, this adds one hour. For each middle light on the upper display, this adds 5 minutes.

Then, the 4 big lights in the middle row will show offsets between the 5 minute intervals

So to properly show the times exampled

- = LED off
0 = LED on

When all cell phones break in 2012 I'll be the only one who can tell time (albeit slowly)!]]>Feb 3rd 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/tokyoflashs-heko-watch-the-perfect-gift-for-fashionable-crypto/
"The top and bottom rows each have four LEDs aligned for their analogous analog positions -- 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 -- and two lights in between to indicate one-hour / 15-minute intervals, respectively."

This is where it gets messed up. The two lights in between indicate one-hour and 5 minute intervals, not 15 minute. Noting that correction, it makes sence when trying to figure out the time on those watches.
