Anyway, I think you are thinking in the right direction Logan! I totally get the intention to mix LCD panel with LED animation, but does the fade in fade out effect is really appropriate?

Thanks very much for your enthusiasm about this watch. I'm glad you like the subtlety and I hope you'll find that in some of my upcoming designs, too. Please keep commenting, it's good to hear new voices. Regarding the period of time when the the display will be hard to read, I'm not sure exactly how long it will last, but I think 20 seconds is an overestimate. If the rotation is linear, I think it will be 10 seconds or less, because the human eye can perceive quite small contrast differences, and the polarization differences will be more evident if the wearer just moves his wrist a bit. That's if the rotation is linear, as I have illustrated. Another approach could be to speed up the rotation slightly during that period, so that it's only for a second or two that the contrast is very low. Maybe that's actually best and I should have illustrated it that way. Hi, Zadkiel. Thanks very much for your enthusiasm about this watch.

I see it kinda old school and discretely geek, which is perfect. I've fallen in love with many watches on this site, but only this one would i consider buying because it's not over flashy! This is great, if you get a deal, i'll be the first buyer! Hey i actually really really like this watch. I see it kinda old school and discretely geek, which is perfect.

Only positive-negative isn't enough I believe. But i like it so far. It's totall cool, that it works that easily and can be made pretty affordable. Case is alright: minimalistic design and modern 45° angles, yay! Hey I got an alternative idea, mail me at samukun@gmx.de ok Logan?
