The Kisai Upload Lets You Keep a MicroSD Card on Your Wrist

— August 15, 2012 — Fashion
The Kisai Upload is a new watch from Tokyoflash with a deceptively simple design. At first glance the face of the Kisai Upload looks to be a mystery wrapped in an enigma bound by duct tape. It's only when you tilt the watch 30 to 45 degrees that the numbers on its face become clear and easy to see. No connecting the dots or using strange shapes are required to tell time with this Tokyoflash wristwatch.

The Kisai Upload gets its unique name from its built-in MicroSD card slot. The slot lets you take your important computer files with you wherever you go. This may sound like a gimmicky addition, but when you think about how small and fragile a MicroSD card really is, you begin to see the slot's value. The Kisai Upload sells for $169 and is available now.
