The hexagonal display is nice. The position of the sticks would sometime make the minute look odd. ( like the 2 on the 7:29:36 picture ) As of the symbol meaning, it would be fast to learn, without having to count the sticks each time.

I have 1 question : what are the 4 symbols on the case ? ( at the 3, 6, 9 & 12 position )

Hi befrey.
You’re not dumb! Don’t complicate the reading, just count the sticks!

Very interesting display, first I think it’s difficult to read, but not. Easy to read, nice display. 5 starts.

.:love the patterns, a little difficult but that’s what will make it fun. Yes, given colour option, I’d buy it, & yes, reminds me of Preditor too:.

Fresh concept, not just unique font, they are not obvious numbers! I like version with inverted colors. The display is very cryptic indeed. This is the watch for someone who wana be total predator die hard fans! Prepare to memorize the symbols!

Very interesting, that these symbols have an own iconographic power (they look partially like numbers, partially like kanji) , but are “just” countable segments. So the display looks more complicated than it is and so very appealing to me! I also like the hexagonal display and the basic gemoetry, reduced to the necessary. The geometry does not provide distractring details so the numbers are the protagonists. 5*/YES give me

The time telling method takes a little getting used to, remembering which group of lines/block tells what incrument, the seconds being the most obvious. Maybe these could be marked somehow to save you having to think about it. All that aside its a great looking design which is totally makeable. 5/Y Best of luck!
