Thats the only problem I have with this watch. Besides that I like the simplicity and smoothness of this design. I don't like binary very much, but you only have 10 leds to tell the time, thats just consequent from a minimalistic perspective. The color changing option is great. Many people cry about the color, here they can have whatever they want. Five stars! Just imagine your arm hair pressed under the glass, maybe some sweat, not very beautiful.

Minimalistic, stylish, clever. I hope the transparency can be made because that's the striking effect of the watch. :D That’s a cool concept! Minimalistic, stylish, clever.

I've seen it used before for the power light on a Sony Bravia TV so I know it should work so I think its one of the more 'buildable' of the clear glass watch face designs i've seen on here.

I also like the way the strap starts wide and gets narrow near the clasp. Having the button actuators placed where the strap meets the watch face is nice too. Bravo!

If its not possible to make the watch face transparent, regular opacity with this design still okay, just like tf satellite. I like minimalistic and I love this!

YES for this project! During the holidays, I saw store windows with LED lights inside the glass (wireless connections without apparent), so this watch seems feasible?

Maybe if the whole watch was made of rubber it would be cheaper and sure a really feasibe to make.
