I bought a 600 yen paper watch on Akihabara backstreet

 In the era of Corona's evil, the changes in hygiene ideas and the sudden changes in the needs of people who were needed seem to support cashless worlds more than technology evolution.Now that diet life and work style are required, we believe that one keyword is "Lightweight" (light).

 When I was involved in a mobile computer product planning, the keyword I was taking care of was "Lightweight".In order to realize such a lightweight in another world, we also plan and sell bags made of tough, tough and waterproof performance with friends with friends.

 Personally, I also collect some suspicious and strange watches that I love watches as much as my bag, and I can't wear a solid office worker.The paper watch to be introduced this time is also a paper watch that has sufficient conditions and qualifications that can be joined.

 In the past, I thought about a watch using tough tough Tyvek materials several times, but unfortunately it has not yet been sold.The paper watches introduced this time were the same TYVEK material in the early days of the release, but the recent products may use just waterproof paper instead of Tyvek.Therefore, many products are not described as "Tyvek", which is a specific material name in packages.The one I purchased was the same thing.

 The waterproof paper watch that was put in a clear and slender package like Swatch and sold a lot flat on the back street of Akihabara is 600 yen.

 When the contents are taken out, it is shaped like a belt made by folding a rectangular paper vertically.The interior is a mechanical part of a quartz watch + battery and multiple magnets, and there is no pin (a stick) on the buckle, and it seems to be a mechanism that turns the belt back through a buckle and fix it with a magnet.

ペーパーウオッチはよりチープなSwatchのようなパッケージで売られている子供がたった今、折り紙を3回山折りして作ったような曲線の無いチープさが最高だ最初のうちは、カクカクと曲がってフレキシブルさが無いが、使っているうちに柔らかく変化してくるだろう

 The dial of the time display displays the current time and date by pressing the lower center of the display part slightly.

 The date and time setting is one button, and set with a long press.The settings with multiple buttons are general time adjustments, so they are somewhat confusing at first, but it is easy if you get used to it.

 Unfortunately, the brightness of the LED display does not have enough power to transmit one piece of waterproof paper, so it is good in the dim indoors and at night, but even outdoors, even if you press the display button, most of the time will be displayed. can not see.

 If you use it to some extent, the paper belt may also change flexibly, but while it is new, some horns stand on the arm and do not neatly along the outer circumference of the arm.is.

 Speaking of paper watches, the SUCK UK that appeared about 10 years ago is famous, but this is made by Tyvek, and the user is to write various illustrations and messages for ourselves to create an original Paper Watch for your own.It is a product.The belt is made of only one thin Tyvek material, and the feeling of wearing on the arm is extremely natural.There is no metal component other than the digital clock assembly on the main unit.

 On the other hand, in this paper watch, some paper is folded into three folds to wrap the main quartz module inside, so at first it has a fairly crisp and rugged impression, so it is installed on the arm.It takes some time to make the feeling flexible.

 Cheap paper watches, cheap wristwatches represented by Cheap Casio, and traditional brand watches are the most important thing for their watches, not just specifications, designs, prices, etc.The story, the user's "thoughts" and "message".I would like to expect a cheap paper watch in the future.
