I agree the watch loses sense without the continuity of the lines. But the way you turned it is not something I could wear. Maybe if the lines were relief, not colors. Bref, maybe not as is but I like this concept, creative and clever. The display and the way you create digit from lines is really cool & unusual.

Yeah, we know, the rating's are overrated. I'm glad it is recieved pretty well according to the comments. Of course, improvements are always possible. Thank you all supporters for your time to comment and rate! I didn't have time for a red-LCD-on-metal-version, but I'm making one as soon as I can. Just check my page (click my yellow name) and you'll see then. Liking the page is generally a great ideam hehehe. My best regards, Sam from Jordan Thank you Pete!!

SS could be possible. This is black LCD on neon colored ground. SS would be red LCD on metal. Less shiny colors but still awesome. Naw, cutting the lines off would be bad, cause it's all about the continuation. Letting the lines suddenly end would have meant a whole different display development. On my Gradient watch concept, I let the lines continue as subtle relief. That would be an alternative... But this watch has been sent back from the future, you just have to evolve, hehehe. No honestly, I see your point :) Well thanks alot for the feedback!!

Adding more bumps in different sizes would make the display even more complex, less minimalistic. That would definitely increase the readability, but would look less stylish maybe and would be even more technically challenging as it is right now. It is always a risk of inconvenience when using a stylish typeface. But once you get involved and throw yourself into it, it's fun. Thank you Lloyd for your impression and your rating!!

Like with the 2 and 5. It might also make the 9 less like the 7. Anyway, just my opinion - for what it's worth. :D 5* Nice idea Sam. ;) I just wonder if you added a few little bumps here and there it might make some of the digits a bit more distinct.

Well, maybe the engineers at TF can find a way. If it can be done, it will look great.

About the LCD segments: Good hint, but this time I'd like to keep it idealistic this time. I hope it can be done as close to the renderings as possible. LCD is 40 years old, the has to be a way :) Thank you Logan!! It was a joy to implement the backlight and the floating case parallely to the main topic.
