Want to turn Japanese? How about an S-Mode Oberon IPB or Tokyoflash Infection from Tokyoflash. We’ve got one of each, so two winners total.

S-Mode Oberon IPB -Breaking through the atmosphere with the same velocity as its predecessor Titan, this high quality time piece has a radiance that can be seen from another cosmos.  The S-Mode series brings you a stunning wrist wear design featuring a sleek full-face black mineral crystal lens with contrasting white LEDs beneath.  Oberon is dark yet irresistible, housed in a streamlined black IP coated stainless steel case and complemented with a custom designed linked strap and bright white LED display.  The time is presented simply, with a single touch of the upper button. The outer ring of LEDs indicate the hour, the second ring indicates single minutes and the inner ring indicates minutes in groups of ten. The date can be read in a similar way with a second touch of the upper button. 

Tokyoflash Infection – Tokyoflash launches an original design combining sleek curves, tri-colored LEDs and a pulsating new display. Featuring a creatively designed full face mirrored lens and an innovative way to view time, no one is immune to Infection.  Housed in a smart new case, Infection is ergonomically designed to neatly fit the contours of your wrist, the tapered edges providing a smooth transition between the case and lens.  Twenty-seven multi-colored LEDs pulsate and move like cells across the curved face to present the time from beneath the attractive mirrored mineral crystal lens.  Finished with a matching leather band and stainless steel clasp, this is a flashy look that’s sure to get you noticed.  Twelve red LEDs indicate hours, eleven yellow LEDs represent the progression of time in groups of five minutes and four green LEDs show single minutes.  A single touch of the upper button animates the LEDs, a single touch of the lower button shows the time immediately.

We at CrunchGear know that you have a huge pornography collection. Sure, it’s not regular pornography – it’s furry porn – and by “you” we mean “me, John Biggs,” but I’m in such deep denial that I equate all my failings to everyone else. That said, we would like to offer you/me 2 terabytes of pornography storage as part of our 10 Days of CrunchGear giveaway. Behold, friends, the Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition 2TB monster drive :

Secure your vital data with WD’s My Book Mirror Edition dual-drive storage system with RAID Mirroring. With RAID-based continuous data protection, automatic data backup software, and user-serviceability, this is the perfect backup system for your irreplaceable data.

RAID – for when you don’t want to lose your pornography.

Today is our second birthday. Our cake is a little bare, as you see, so tune in tomorrow for the first of our 10 Days of CrunchGear celebration giveaways and drink a cold one in our honor tonight. Thanks for reading us and thanks for making this the greatest two years of my life. Except for the herpes. That sucked.
