Hey Cory, if you use small circles in the centre of the display instead of the drops, you could make a cool animation of ripples flowing from the centre to the outside using the rings. would look like the ispiration you used.
ummmm nice!

Thanks Sam, Thanks Nico!

There seems to be consensus of a change to the center of the display, I’ll try and flesh out a couple alterations that stay true to the “water droplet” idea. Stay tuned! Hoping this is an improvement

I like the fluid and curvy look, as well as some of the more straight/angular stuff too. Good point, Nico!

Hmmm… an always on LCD version… Gears turning!

I like the idea of using glass refraction and the drop effect. There is an outta space technology feel to it that suits me So I like the display (the drops in the center could be used differently but that’s not a big modification, if needed). The shape of the watch is not my cup of tea, too organic, or to curved maybe, but there is a lot of work on it, I must recognize, really detailed, good job !

I really really like the concept!!! The ripple effect is sooo nice! The wavy but still manly and edge straps rock. I like the watch so much, that a detail of the display bugs me. The circle segments could be rounded, more liquid. And the four bubbles should be concentric circles, something that’s not that much different. Make it LCD on a blue reflective base layer to be always on and the water theme is transported perfectly, for me Good work and good luck!

Some time before, I did need to buy a car for my organization but I didn't have enough cash and couldn't buy something. Thank heaven my comrade proposed to try to take the loan at trustworthy creditors. Therefore, I did so and used to be satisfied with my sba loan.

Thanks Firdaus! I’m glad you like (most of ) the design!

Yes, I’m aware of the animations. However, in my opinion, since everyone has different way of thinking, I feel like the four dot stacking is disturbing the aqua effect of the display. I believe it can be adjusted to be more centric feel. BTW, this shape already nice and everything else is the matter of taste. Oh the strap is quite decent, forgot to mention this. Most of your designs make me feel like want to rock them in Fallout if they are available as mod item. xD

Well, you know when you put a straw into a glass of water, and it looks as if the straw is broken in two at the water’s surface? Glass has a similar effect when it is curved. depending on the density and thickness of the glass, the effect can be more or less pronounced.

The LEDs are curved, so when viewed at odd angles, the curve of the glass will refract the light in much the same way that the water does to a straw in your drinking glass. When viewed straight on (as in the ANIM1 ) the curve of the LED and glass match up, so the refraction is minimized, and more easily viewed.

Hope this helps
