We love nothing better here at EP than particularly distinctive wrist watches – the sort that virtually guarantee to turn heads – and there’s now doubt that these Yamanote Line Watches from Seahope Japan fit the bill and tick all the boxes in offering mini reproductions of JR’s Yamanote Line electronic bulletin boards which appear on Tokyo’s Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ebisu, and Shinagawa rail stations.
Little in the way of detail is available at the time of writing, however, we can confirm that these Yamanote Line Watches only display the time and the date and do not actually function as mini bulletin boards – which is a shame as we would have hoped that the least you could de is display a user customised message on their screens.
Still, in terms of desirability, we think they rock though we are unable at this stage to confirm either availability or pricing.
