Kisai Upload
The Tokyoflash Kisai Upload watch comes in eight color combinations; you get to choose the one you want. Tokyoflash

Congrats to Marika of Stirling, N.J., for winning last week's giveaway, a big bundle of back-to-school gifts.

Now, pun intended, it's time for this week's giveaway, a Tokyoflash Kisai Upload wristwatch. We've covered products from this purveyor of creative and sometimes perplexing timepieces before, and the latest model is just as eye-catching as the rest.

The futuristic-looking watch has an LCD display with a cryptic arrangement of lines and blocks that might make some wonder if you're a human bar code. Tilt your wrist to read the digital time at a glance (amusingly, Tokyoflash specifies that the optimum viewing angle is between 30 and 45 degrees). Push the lower button to display the date and the upper button to activate the colored LED backlight.

The Kisai Upload includes a 2GB microSD card, with data transferred to and from the watch via the provided USB cable. The watch's battery also charges via USB and promises to run for three to four months per charge.
