Good point about the case. You see it right (well, like me at least). The numbers are the eye-catcher, the rest serves as carrier and is kept neutral. We wanted to keep the case clean. The time setting buttons are on the backside. And oh yeah, the backlight is touch activated Thanks for your insight Acan!!

the numbers look awesome! so easy to read too! that’s what I’m talking about on the arashi watch. here we have one color, a simple order with little confusion and you just read it and don’t count. that’s perfect for me. the case is just a box? first I thought, it looks too cheap, but more details would be too much actually. are there no buttons? let me guess, its touch activated. I would’ve liked to see a red or a green version. anyway, *****/YES

No problem Jane, we do apreciate honesty and personal taste is nothing to be sorry for

I’d like to comment on some things you mentioned, that go a bit beyond personal taste.
“Impractical”: Yes, we are letting comfort go in favor of the look.
“Not many people”: We are indeed not designing for the masses.
“watches are classy and traditional”: A clear No. I recommend checking the rest of the blog and also the Tokyoflash shop to see, what environment this watch concept is situated.

Thanks Jane, we’ll keep the energy

Sorry to say this, I know you all are mature enough to handle this, but the design is honestly tedious and while flashy, rather impractical. I would not use this. I do not know many people who would. There are a few, but not many. Fact is watches are classy and traditional… this would not be my cup of tea. The numbers are rather annoying, the design is mediocre, but your enthusiasm is spectacular. Keep that and the sky’s the limit.

6* for the metal version!

Thank you very much Patrick!! We looked at metal versions of the straps before but sorted them out. It’s a polished stainless steel version and an IP-black one. Maybe some artists and manufactors take care of this decision in the future…

Ah, it’s a watch that I like well, with a metal bacelet for me, but this watch is very beautiful like that.
5 * / Yes.

hey Mrs. Sable, awesome design, just one thing. Maybe lessen the angle of the tilt a bit, so it’s easier to read. Overall great design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
