So just in case it is I would like to thank anyone who took the time to comment and vote on this design. It got a moderately good score considering it isn't everyones cup of tea. Hopefully TF see some positives in the idea and think its worth developing into a form that would please more people. Thanks all Kind Regards Pete from the UK :) I’m not convinced this is right but the computer tells me this is the last day for this entry.

A toy! For a movie rated R, so not even kids can handle this. As much as I like Terminator, I don’t want a toy on my wrist. A toy! For a movie rated R, so not even kids can handle this.

I can understand you prefering more abstract style. I like the idea of it being turned 90 degrees like you say. Detachable is a novel idea, would appeal to kids and big kids alike. Thanks a lot Sam :) Thanks for the critique.

I fancy abstraction in favor of simplicity. - too many small and fragile parts. Touch idea, but feasability... - the nose of the machine should point towards the hand ("forward") so you can fly around with it, with the hand stretched out like Superman ;) Can the machine be detached from the strap? I can see is landed on the desk when you're at work. Although it does not fit my taste, I can see why people would love it. Okidoki :)

I know what you mean regarding the return to zero after the 24th hour. The time telling method needs a little work. Im glad you like the concept and the desk clock would be sweet! Thankyou Xenoagogue for your feedback, vote and cloaked smiley! hehe :) Hahaha, I was waiting for someone to spot the mistake (6) on the 10s of mins dial!

Hunter/Killers were one of the coolest concepts to come out of the Terminator franchise. Also, one of the few to be made (mostly) real, in the Predator drone. The design may be a little bulky, but the effect would be worth it. A desk clock would indeed be a great way to display it. One minor technical note: The 6 should be eliminated from the tens of minutes hand in the render, unless 12:65 was an intended possibility. Getting the hour hands to auto-rotate back to zero at the 24th would be doable, but I think the simplicity of the design isn't well served by needing that in both increments. 5* and yes (especially the possibly realized desktop version) Love it.

I agree that making the craft blend more into the strap may make it a bit more subtle. I think the dials should still be able to move as thats a nice feature. Hopefully TF will see a way of making this more universal but keep the dramatic effect. Thanks for the comment and the stars! :) A desk clock does seem to be the way to go with this one!

I agree with the comments above that it would make a fantastic clock! I think if the body of the "hunter killer" was merged into the strap more and there were less stickyouty bits it would work even better. Bags of potential 5* and yes Its not subtle but I like it!
