I can see you submit more designs in the future... for starter, well, it's quite difficult for my brain but really appreciate the effort you introducing unique, geeky watch concept... See you in your next design ;-) goodluck and keep it up! A very good try Ignatius Reillius….

Surely someone (even TokyoFlash) suggest a change that will improve the idea. It is always difficult to read the time at the beginning, is only a matter of learning the new code (not thinking only of numbers) and get used to it.

The truth is that we wanted to cover all aspects and we are made ​​a mess, especially with the hours, am, pm... This aspect (now that I look it carefully) can be improve a lot. You're right about the example, that is much better. And thank you very much for your vote :D Sincerely, thanks for this comment.

Or 00h and 12h without am/pm, but 00 and am pm don't belong together. If the watch has 12h mode and 24h mode, it's perfect. 07:37, not 67:37 hehehe. I think the alarm on/of indicator could be the alarm button itself... but you know what, I came this far, I can learn that too. 09:10 easy; 12/30 easy; 05/15 easy :) The time examples are a bit too hard to read. They could have used these very comfortable cross-separations that are in the watch renderings. I think the explanations confuse more than you wanted. Ignacio, it would be cool if you add some separating lines to the time explanations and send it to Tokyoflash. Something like <a href="http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=ignacio23v73.jpg" rel="nofollow">this</a>. I like the cross theme, the overall minimalism in the style, the time reading needs some practice but it's working fine and looks good. I hope this gets to the next round. 5+/YES Just to get this sam-wise:

06:30 pm, 18:30 in 24h mode

00:45 pm, I think 12 am/pm would suffice. Or 00h and 12h without am/pm, but 00 and am pm don’t belong together. If the watch has 12h mode and 24h mode, it’s perfect.

The time reading is very difficult to get the hang of! I would suggest a training mode showing the numbers untill the user is used to the time reading system. With a training mode 5 stars and Yes! :D Visually I like this very much, very minimal looking.
