I see, I've reached alot of people with this little idea ;) Maybe this concept makes the next step in the future. We will see... Thanks a again. Stay tuned and spread the word!

Touch feature would be too expensive for the little effect it causes. And I thought about letting : and / appear when the numbers line up. They shouldnt be part of the display when gravity affects it. I liked it pure there. But in order to have some reading comfort, they should be there. Thank you for the comments!

I like the comment of Kobi regarding the algorithm to get time setup while moving your arm to see what time it is.. either way that is just a really nice design, well done I would buy that bad boy right away… I like the comment of Kobi regarding the algorithm to get time setup while moving your arm to see what time it is.. either way that is just a really nice design, well done

If this watch used an accelerometer, then it should be used as much as possible. Implementing a touch sensitive display would mean unnecessary extra costs for a feature, that's not really needed. Phew, it's fun to improve this design on here :D As for people with disabilities I think ambidexterity is a premise to attach a watch to the wrist first ;) Kobi, thanks for the inspiring comment and the luck!

One thing I would recommend is an algorithm that looks for a certain acceleration pattern and re-assembles the time upon that pattern. I find myself glancing to my wrist to get a quick view of the time, and it would be inconvenient to always use both hands to view the time display (also proves difficult for people with disabilities). For instance, you could map the motion of someone moving their wrist up to their face to see the time, then bake that motion into the watch and it will assemble the time when that motion occurs. How sweet would that be?! For simplicity, you could also use more definite motions like shaking your wrist, rotating your wrist, etc. Good luck! Very cool!

Touching or a button for light then. :idea: I thought maybe shaking the watch to align the numbers for 5 seconds would be a cool alternative. Touching or a button for light then.

If this watch is recieved well by rating, commenting and sharing, it could make Tokyoflash consider to make it. Nothing is definite but people can influence the chances to let each concept on here become real. Thank you for the comment and good luck ;) Hi Loopingstar!
