Hard to read the minutes. It wouldn't be consequent to add a button? It would be nice to see the time though, because it will not be lit the whole day, because all watches have energy problems. Touch activation would be great! That would give the watch a nice feature. The crystal pattern is disturbing. Or the round display on the crystal pattern. These both elements don't go well together I think. Solid design, no doubt. This one looks really nice, but it’s not really overwhelming. Hard to read the minutes.

Press ctrl+F (search) and search for "Q-version", then you see the code, Cory used to make his link. You can replace the link and the placeholder word for your next time. Good luck! Nice calculation about the LED hours Keiron. That's quite a task :D I wonder if it's possible to let the OLED on the whole day (well 12 h). Press ctrl+U, then you see the source code of this page.

I was hoping to do some thing similar with my href="http://www.tokyoflash.com/blog/2011/02/an-ultra-minimal-watch-design/"> binary watch </a> it only uses 10 leds but more of them will be lit at one time. Seeing as you have USB connectivity even if you charge it once a month it won't be a big problem. Would be interested to know how its calculated, i just worked out my watch would use 91.6 LED hours per day. I have no idea if this is high/low :s Great design Andreas, like the texture you’ve created and layout.

Perhaps to activate the LEDs you could go touch screen? I like what you're going for here, it is very original, but also really within the realm of cool.

When the watch really comes with it's own mini app, then you can use any computer (not rare to find these days). What I actually meant was: The light will not be on continuously, so you might need a button to press... I know, that's pretty picky ;) Oh yeah, the idea about the usb time setting is great.

There is in fact no further interface except the usb connection to modify the time on a computer. Its i deed my aim to reduce the interface to the max and like to see the watch as a hybrid between a watch and a piece of juwelry. I agree that the red shine is a little bit irritating;) Thanks for your voting and best regards... Andreas Hi Samukun,

I like your image of a crystal to represent history. The case looks really cool. I like the shape and the tesselation. To ease up reading, you could mark each 5 minutes somehow (maybe make the hours circle bigger, so the hours are closer to the minutes and make nice 5-min-indicators; maybe add some indicators, but each addition could destroy the purity... ). Is there a button somewhere? Or just tell me, it is touch-activated :D The red glare was a little irritating, I thought it was another LED (am/pm indicator). The overall appearance is cool though. Cool watch, cool presentation. You got my vote! Beste Grüße! Hallo Andreas, willkommen im Blog!

(Thus, the reading would be even easier.) Great watch, a joy to look at this! I can imagine with LED versions, it may be cheaper ...
