I can take criticism, but this is not criticism in the classical sense; i.e. the act or art of analyzing and evaluating or judging the quality of a literary or artistic work, musical performance, art exhibit, dramatic production, etc. If you think that your attempt could be more evocative of what you want to see on the blog, then make an attempt of your own.

Steffen, perhaps you are of the Pirate persuasion? I have a Jolly Roger watch design in my sketch book that I plan on making next. Skull and Crossbones, YARR! :D Thanks Cherubim!

Yeah, I was thinking the animation could have several modes that are settable to the wearer's preferences, that way you can change the watch up and it will always be new. I like your idea of gradually disappearing them around the face opposite the one that points out the time, seems like it would be pretty cool. Thanks, Jordair!

I wouldn't expect everyone to like everything about all of the designs, that would get boring. Thanks for the feedback, Firdaus! Always good to hear more input. Understandable.

The crown shouldn't be too far from the stem (stem shouldn't be too long unless when you pull it to adjust time - not sure though for digital watch). The reading of time is easy yet appealing, the face really resembles the concept (need to see the animation in action ;-) ). The red display sure is gorgeous in this concept. I think silver steel body might looks good too. Synthetic strap also good for this watch imo. Regardless of other factors, the concept itself is 5*.

One suggestion though... Maybe instead of having all the throwing blades (hour pointers) turn off at the same time, make them do another round and turn off... In case that was unclear - for the animation, have the hour blades light up going clockwise, then turn off again clockwise. That way it won't be as sudden. Your renders blow me away Cory.

This is a cool watch with a cool inspriation which you processed in an appealing way. The display looks like someone robbed the armory! The strap details are really nice and fit the topic. Overall impression: really good! I followed your previews and I like to see the rest here. This is a cool watch with a cool inspriation which you processed in an appealing way.
