Wow this ended quickly… shorter half-life than expected

Yeah this was fun! I see the little issues, this concept has for some of you, but it’s cool how the watch was recieved generally. Thank you all for your input and support!

Radiating regards,

Fair enough Makko I can see that the time telling method is a bit uncomfortable. In order to keep the sign and numbers clean, I split time into phases… Always pro and contra Thank you for the comment Makko!

an amazing watch, even if I don’t like the 4 segments to tell the time. ( on all watch ) I might buy, even if it was only for my personal collection.

Thanks for the input Taco!! I see your point. But I think, this would look closer to an 8. Actually I’m using such an 8 in another concept, while the 1 of the same concept looks like the one from Beta Decay. I must admit, the 8 here does not look like an 8 but all numbers follow one rule and that’s the key to learning them.

Cool, that you do watch hopping and share your thoughts with the blog

Great but I just wish the number 1 was just the top and bottom lit up other than that good job!

Yeah, with these type of watches, even if you understand the code, it still takes a while to be able to read the time quickly. With my Hanko watch, I still get a bit bamboozled. Curious. (Not a criticism, just an observation.)

Cheers.

Oh it’s affordable. There are watches that cost 100$ and they use 15 little tritium tube markers (12 for the hours, 3 for the hands). Keychains with bigger vials are around 25 bucks, depending on the size. Cool stuff

@ Fir: Thanks Master Fir!
@ Laszlo: Thanks alot Laszlo, very nice comment
@ Patrick: It’s cool you like it! Oh yes please use the number overview for the training. You can see, every segment is taken from the classical numbers. Hm, I should do something with my concepts indeed… Merci Patrick!
@ Matt: Yeah I thought the recognition would be rather intuitive – good that it works for you!

Oh that’s tough Andrew.
Shortly after the incident in Fukushima, an alternative design of the Active Reactor watch got posted. The concept was by a japanese. I think Tokyoflash didn’t actively deny your concept. There have been some changes in the past, maybe the design got lost. I would suggest to resubmit it. I did it with some of my concepts too. Good luck!
