This is an original idea, but I would unfortunately not buy this design: the way of telling the time just does not interest me. However, this is an idea worth exploring indeed!

interesting concept…
but the shape, colour, rubber band etc is very feminime..
and i frankly don’t know one single girl/woman who knows morse code or would be willing to learn it for a watch… (not saying they don’t exist, but i think there are fewer women than men who would go for morse code)

so in conclusion i like the idea, but the design need to be worked on in my opinion…

wow
love this idea! Would be nice to get it with a better design… I m not sure an iphone shape makes really sense here. What about a “blind watch”: a regular watch without hands on it and no lens. People would definetly wonder how you can magically tell the time with it and you can come up with some crazy explaination!! That would be terrific!

Make it black, avoid the ipod-ish look and make an easier vibration code and I buy it in an instant I love the idea that the time is hidden and you only can tell it. It’s magic This is the extreme opposite of what tokyo flash watches. No symbols wich need to be interpeted, no lights – just the strap and a button.

Very sweet idea – although I am not very keen on the design and color… I think I’d prefer a dark colored casing in contrast with a polished or brushed metal plate as vibrating membrane. The whole watch in a more elegant classical design.
While the idea is original, I have doubts about it’s practicality. Getting signals via vibration is really hard to “read”. Also it takes quiet long to vibrate the message or it would be too fast – in both cases people would get confused very easily.
I was radio tech in the navy and at the beginning we had to try to learn and listen to morse code. But beyond a certain message speed you just can’t differentiate the signals anymore – it got fuzzy and blurry. It’s a genetic thing how good the “acoustic interval resolution” of your brain is – for most people its quite limited. My guess would be that it is analog with “haptic resolution”….

I am fond of the shape and the simplicity and yeah I guess it would be perfect for blind people. If it had some kind of display too, I might consider it, but then that would take away from the minimalist look I guess.

Nice idea =) I wouldn’t buy it, as i don’t get the Morse code, but still the idea is interesting and promising The design is quite simple and straightforward

Original idea, but is complicated, I never got along with Morse code or with binary, so no thanks.

Smart concept. Could see that working well when in a meeting, and don’t want to check the time as it would display that you need or want to leave. Just tap the face and you can feel the time. Hey that is a good name for it “Feel Time”.
